Powerful suction and cleaning quality
Only room in house with carpet is closet so needed something small to clean a mess my dog made. This little machine is easy to use and has great suction. Area dried quick. Picture shows an area I started that had dried pee I didn't know was there. So picture shows the spot cleaned and no stain. Of course will have to do whole closet due to dirt, but it cleaned awesome. I haven't tried all the other tools with it yet, but so far it cleans great. Highly recommend for pet owners to clean spot messes.

The best!
I used it to detail my car seats that got some really bad stains. Excellent suction power, quiet, convenient size and weight. I liked that you could focus on cleaning and don’t have to change the tanks often. It was so efficient that I advanced faster than expected. The different tools are also very helpful. The nozzle sprays evenly and you can control how much cleaner you need to use. It cleaned old stains that I had not been able to remove before. The tools fit in places that I didn’t expect and I was able to do more cleaning than expected. My car bad smell was neutralized and it smells fresh and clean. It is perfect! I don’t have a before picture of all my seats, but it did an excellent job removing stains and suctioning the cleaning solution. Totally worth it.

Easy to use, clean, and store—and returns my carpet to brand new!
I have lovely blue and white Chinoiserie carpets, an indoor-outdoor cat, and live out in the country. I noticed that portions of the white part of the carpets were getting brown. I searched for carpet cleaners on Amazon, read lots of reviews, and settled on this one, waiting for big prime day discounts. The first day this came, I tried it out. The instructions were very thorough, the solutions were all included, and it was very easy to use. It did such an amazing job, that I realized I needed to do the whole carpet because the small part I had cleaned was so much whiter than the rest of the carpet. The only negative is that it is very loud. But it is totally worth it. This picture doesn’t show the stark difference, but you can kinda see how much cleaner the bottom strip is than the top.

Pretty decent machine
So far so good. Got this last year (2024) and it has survived 3 dogs and 3 cats (1 passed away and we got another). Multiple different bodily fluids from all animals. And they surely do shed like crazy. It does a pretty good job of separating the hair from the liquids/fluids and getting rid of the stains, however who knows just how deep it actually goes. The sucking power isn’t as great as say a ShopVac, as the carpet IS still wet after we go over it a million times, even after cleaning off the hair from the head. But when looking in the tank it IS sucking up the nasty stuff, so clearly doing something. And our carpets don’t smell nor have stains and it’s been able to get up OLDDDD stains as well which is both impressive on the behalf of the machine itself and the solution in my opinion. I’ve used it on carpet, decor pillows, couches, etc. it’s done it all. Works fairly well. Just wish it had better sucking power so I could use more solution to make sure we’re fulling cleaning up and out those stains especially the old ones. Maybe just need to upgrade at this point.

Great machine for those pet accidents!
This little machine has just been fantastic! It works well in removing stains for the little accidents that occur from time to time. The suction is great and makes the carpet look like new again. Just so you know, I have 2 yorkies and my carpet is a light tan. The machine is so easy to use and works well. It suctions the water up out of the carpet and it looks great. The spray is also very effective in that it covers the area. I love this machine and wish I had got it a long time ago - it would have saved me some frustration.

Power in a Small Package
This machine worked wonders on my upholstery that endured years of pet-abuse. You may require a few passes on some really bad fabrics/carpet, but this machine handles it all in one go with a separate tank for dirty water and dedicated tanks for different cleaners. The ability to spray cleaner via a trigger-style mechanism on the brush handle makes wetting down areas to soak in product a breeze. Once wet and scrubbed down, the vacuum holds the same quality that Shark products have toted for years. It effortlessly sucks up the nasty looking water leaving your fabrics damp-dry, where air can finish the rest of the job. I guarantee that if you use this on upholstery that appears clean, you may be shocked by the color of water that comes out! You'll want to use it everywhere you relax. On top of all of this, the Shark StainStriker is incredibly portable, meaning you could use this in your car, the office, loan it to a friend, etc. without the pain of hauling heavy equipment. All in all, I look forward to using this more in the future!

Potent punch in a pint sized machine
I have a full-sized Hover wet/steam vac, but I was looking for something more portable for the stairs and for when baby just throws up a little. This machine has answered my call flawlessly. This machine powers through stains be it milk, grime, and pretty much everything other than superglue (no coming back from that one unfortunately). The machine is easy to use, cleans carpet well, and leaves the carpet soft and mostly dry (may need to use the suction 2 or more times to really get it pretty dry). Just a few things to note. First off, it's made to be used with proprietary cleaner fluid, so you are kind of locking yourself in to the ecosystem with this purchase (nothing too new - just look at printers). Second, the instructions for mixing water and the concentrate basically says to fill the tank to 95% with water and then add concentrate - so you're kind of forced to fill the entire container even if you only need a little. Third - the dirty water container fills up really quickly, so while fine while in use with the primary cleaning function, if you want to use it to vacuum a giant water puddle or something you'll need to make multiple trips to empty the container. If you can live with the minor inconveniences above, this portable powerhouse is a great purchase and excellent complement to a larger house-wide steam vac.

Works great
Such a great carpet/upholstery cleaner! Super easy to use and when your done the cleaning of the machine is so easy. Love that it’s lightweight and easy to store. So nice to have with little ones running around as well as pets! My couch is so clean now it basically looks brand new!
