Shark CarpetXpert HairPro with StainStriker, Upright Carpet Cleaner machine, Deep Carpet, Rug and Upholstery Cleaner, Tough Stain & Odor Remover, Hair Pickup, Carpet Shampooer, EX301

Works really well. It’s not too heavy. It looks nice and has removed almost all the stains I have put it against. It sucks up the water and dirt like a champ. It works a little too well sometimes pulling stuff up through the carpet so sometimes you have to go over an area multiple times. We live in the south and have a ton of red dirt that gets brought in at the front door, the carpet may not *look* dirty but once you go over it a few times, it pulls red dirt up to the top of the carpet and it looks stained so you have to keep going over it to get it all out. I love the attachments that come with it and the tray it sits on! I wis the tanks were bigger. I feel like I have to dump often. Overall, I’m satisfied with this product and recommend for small areas!

This is a great product, really. It feels like a quality build without being excessivly heavy or complicated. It simply works, and it works rather well! However the purchasing process was a pain, resulting me me losing a lot of trust in Shark/Ninja as a whole, and I was sort of invested in their environment. Pros: *No need to manually spray when not using the hose, the action of pushing and pulling automatically sprays and vacuums it up. *Uses a soap and an oxy clean product, in separate containers ad used at different rates. Mix the soap with the water (or dont if you are rinsing), but put the oxy container in it's own slot. *Uses minimal amount of water (seriously, very small tank and it doesn't last long, but you get a lot more clean than you would think and the waste water is straight up NASTY) *There are not a plethora of functions. At first this seems like a bad oversight, but really it greatly simplifies the process. You have Deep Clean (which could simply be called clean, but you know...marketing) and Dry. The Dry function uses no water and is GREAT to remove more water from the carpet for faster drying. *The low water requirement and Dry option can reduce carpet dry time drastically, mine was only damp for a few hours. *There are multiple latches, doors, and traps to catch the pet hair. These are surprisingly effective, and very well designed with the user in mind. With the push of a latch you can remove the front of the vacuum head, then flip open the spray nozzles tray and remove the brush. This leaves the entire brush head open for a wipe down and/or rinse, and the brush itself can be easily removed and cleaned. Then there is a trap that you can remove at the hinge joint of the brush head that directs the vacuum force from the head to the hose, this comes out and you can easily remove trapped hair and replace it with minimal effort. Then in the tank there is another trap for hair to build up on. It sounds like a lot but it is so easily managed that you will be happier at the longer lasting product as a result. *The choice of hose attachments is very helpful, with one of them designed for pet hair capturing the hair at the attachment in a tray. Like the rest of the device each attachment can be broken down easily and cleaned. *There is a clear label with barcode to order more of the cleaning supplies with a scan of your phone. After the warranty period you may decide to use your own, but their soaps work pretty decently. *There is a storage tray to prevent drips from ruining your floor when not in use. Cons: *Larger device, but this is expected. It is only larger than I like b/c we have limited living space. So this may not be a con to you. *The right side of the cleaning head has about 3 1/2 inches of non-cleaning space that is needed for the gearing. In most places simply turn around and use the other side. But for compact areas this can be a problem as the right 3 - 4 inches will not get cleaned. Experience: This is where I had a very bad time. I tried to order from their website. Loved the deal that they offered. Heck, I was even getting a steam mop and extra cleaning soaps for free! This on top of a sale. So I created an online account, verified the email address, and made a purchase. *Problem 1: They do not ship to PO boxes. This is normal, actually, so I put an alternate address so that I could receive the item. So I placed my order, and they took their money immediately. I was excited. Then I received an email stating that my order was cancelled. I called them 4 times before I was finally connected to someone so that I could learn WHY it was cancelled (the email did not provide a reason). *Problem 2: Apparently the system will not allow a PO box to be used even as a billing address. This is my legal address as mail cannot be sent to the physical location. *Problem 3: I use an obfuscated email. It works, and I verified my email (see above), but my REAL email address remains private. This is to reduce my online footprint and help prevent ID theft by being able to shut down problem addresses that have gotten sold. However Shark refused to accept this email, even though I was allowed to create an account with it, and proved that I can receive emails sent to the address provided. When I asked why this occured they used a bunch of corporate speak which amounted to: "We also make money by selling your information" which is exactly why I obfuscate my email. *Problem 4: Since I would not provide my actual email address, only one that works properly, I was informed that I may not get a refund. So they took almost $400, cancelled my order, and threatened not to return the money b/c I provided an email that functioned, verified that it functioned, and told them that I did not want my information sold. I wanted to BUY a product, I do not want to BE their product. However, three weeks later the charge did drop. So I looked for this on Amazon.com and I found it for about the same price as their model without all the extras that were included on their website. I make a purchase and discover that they will actually ship to my PO Box! . Problem 5: I received the unit without the hose, which is required for the system to work (even when not in use it plugs the hole so that the suction works). I contact Shark, they require me to register the warranty before they replace the part. It gets registered to the same, obfuscated email that I used previously when they cancelled my order. It is accepted, and I receive my part 2 weeks later. So now I have to wonder, why all the fuss when I order directly from Shark (giving them a higher profit margin) but not a single complaint or comment when I need to use it for the warranty? In sumary: I still love the Shark/Ninja products, but now I will never buy from them directly as the scheme that they have is manipulative and misleading. I never wanted to be an additional income to them by letting them sell my information, but they would not let me complete an order until I did. Shady!

This is by far one of the best products we bought for our home. It is super easy to put together and has clear instructions. It is also very easy to use and clean. We do clean it after every use which is a little time consuming, but we have 4 inside pets. So no matter how much we vacuum, there’s always at least a little pet hair left over. That being said, I definitely recommend a good vacuum before use because I imagine it would get clogged with hair if there is a lot in the carpet at time of cleaning. However, we also have a shark pet vacuum and we’ve had no problems with the combo. The cleaning agents smell divine and leave the carpet feeling nice and smelling amazing. It’s a really fresh scent. It’s gotten several stains out of the carpet in our older home and has become something we reach for often to clean up messes due to ease to use. The hand held wand is really nice for pet messes and spills in carpet. We’ve even used it to clean spills out of the couch and clean stains out of plush toys for our child with great success. The cleaner has not left any residues or discoloration on anything we’ve used it on so far and we’ve used it a lot. I’ll admit that it is kind of heavy and my shoulder does get tired if we are using it on the largest room in our house, but I often just switch hands or tag my husband in when that happens. The other option would be to clean in sections. It is a carpet cleaner. So it takes about twice as long to use compared a regular vaccum, but it still doesn’t feel like it takes much time at all to clean a room. Overall, we are really happy with this device, and I am satisfied with the quality even for the expensive price tag. As a side note, it was also really easy to register this for the warranty with shark and they gave us a code for discounts on our first refill of cleaning solution in it as well. I was also able to sign up to receive regular updates about ordering new cleaner and sales on solution which is kind of a nice benefit. The customer service for shark has also been great when I’ve purchased other items through them.

It is crazy how well this thing suctions up hair and such. We thought our old shampooer was good.... We were wrong... I did a lot of research to choose the new one to buy and we were shocked at how well this one does. If I have a complaint, the containers are too small and fills up too fast. Larger units are better here but do not have the quality of life stuff this one has.

Summary: Wow! This this is awesome! Expensive but my carpets look new. I gave 4 stars only because mine came with a broken clip for the hose (see pics). Pros: Fast and powerful! Crazy good suction. Can get super deep cleaning. No issues with leaking. Easy to maintain and clean. Cons: Cons are not back breakers. Tank needs frequent refills when deep cleaning. Waste tank needs emptied more often than anticipated. Why I bought it: I bought the CarpetXpett HairPro because my 2 cats have decided that they didn't like their new litter box. Cat pee on the floor, my couch and clothes. Initial thoughts: Surprisingly big but not overwhelmingly bulky. Mine came with a broken clip for the hose but is not problematic whatsoever. Putting it together was easy with instructions and getting it to work was just as easy. First test: The instructions tell you to go over the area 3-4 times. Instantly could see a difference after doing so. My first test run left a strip of carpet that was no longer stained and was obviously clean. First real clean: I took it to my office which is a 10×10 room. This room has a corner that my cats decided was their new pee spot and had a few food strains from my children. This thing cleans fast. If you run it through a room quick then you will get an obviously cleaner room. After my first pass, I decided to get to the giddy gritty and went scorched earth. After 6 or 7 refills and some intensive time and using the hose attachments, my carpet looked brand new and smelled super clean. Results and opinions: This thing is great for a quick clean and an in depth clean. Thr attachments and suction are amazing and this thing works better than I ever expected. If you are going to do a super in depth clean, expect to go through your tank pretty quick. Emptying out the container is super easy and clean up is mess free. My recommendation: got dirty carpets and you know they get messy quick. Buy it. This is a good investment!
