Just got mine and was really impressed, although the clean solution and dirty water tanks are very small had to refill several times for a small living room, stop and go, stop and go, I found that a hassle.
I just used mine for the first time, I moved into a house with carpet and haven’t cleaned it since I moved in and this cleaner did an amazing job, carpet feels almost dry when I finish! The only thing I didn’t like is the small water container and small dirty water reservoir, other than that I’m very happy with it so far and it has a 5 year warranty +.
I chose this because I have a shark navigator vacuum and never been happier with a vacuum. Wanted the deep cleaner. Was not disappointed. So happy with it on my large area rug that was going to cost me $500 to clean once.
Thank you. Itwas just one of those days when I didn't feel like reading a manual. Your video made it very easy and quick to get started, and now I'm about to perform my first cleaning. Thank you!!!
Absolutely wonderful review. I got every question answered and then some. I’ve been researching for some time now and this review helped so much. I’m on my way to get one now. Thanks
It works extremely well, even on old stains. The water extraction is excellent. The small hand-held suction device (with spray) is great for furnitures. Cleaning the machine thoroughly is very important, it takes time but you don’t want to have residue in the brushes or the hose.
It works on stains that have been there a really long time. My daughter spilled chocolate milk, and god knows what on the carpet in her room, over the course of 3 years and she didn’t clean it up! This cleaner got the stains out.

It’s brave of Shark to enter the carpet cleaner market. Bissell, Rug Doctor, and Hoover are well established names in this game. I like how the hose is integrated and the tools are stored onboard. But the tanks looks crippling small. My Bissell 2X Pet Pro has a 1L clean water tank and that’s barely enough for my bedroom and too small for my living room. The build quality also scares me. I’ve had Shark vacuums before and they are okay, but are fragile. I’ll happily trade less suction power for a better built machine.
According to "ibaisiac" ( Another UA-cam channel who has tested every vacuum cleaner and carpet shampooer known to man I think!) He found The Shark to be a very good carpet cleaner BUT it left the carpet very wet afterwards! So After looking at his videos l decided on a Rug Doctor TruDeep ( The pet version) and I am VERY impressed with it. Not only does it clean carpets and rugs extremely well it also gets most of the water out too. The carpets are left fit to walk on. I had a Numatic George before, I thought that was good but The Rug Doctor is way better!
it’s altogether as needed it doesn’t leak the whole time it’s after a while of cleaning the carpets I rang shark they video called and got me use it and saw what I was doing told me return it x
yeah in that case, best to return it. The seal could be defective somewhere or the dirty water tank is not attached all the way or cant attach all the way because of a seal. I tested mine to see and if the dirty water tank is not perfectly attached, you could see some water buildup around the vents.
I like that you can take it apart to clean. I have 2 cats and a dog and my current carpet cleaner constantly gets clogged and you have to get screw drivers to take it apart and clean it
I have seen the infomercial for it and how can you go wrong with a 90 day money back guarantee and a 5 year VIP warranty. I have a shark vacuum and it has thee most powerful suction vs any other vacuum I have had and that amazes me every time. This is what they are claiming on this cleaner as well which is exactly what you want in a carpet cleaner.. you want it to extract as much dirt and water as it possibly can to get the carpets their cleanest!
You mentioned emptying the dirty water again which left me wondering is this Shark good only for spot cleaning or would be good for doing a larger area let’s say a average living room? Great review and I did order which is on the way direct from Shark.
Hi and thanks for watching. you could definitely use the carpet xpert for an entire room. I used it on an 250 Sq ft room using 2 clean water tanks and had 3 dirty water tanks. If you go faster or it's for light carpet cleaning, you could use only 1 water tank but it will still be about 2 dirty water tanks. Soap bubbles would make the Shark think the dirty tank was full before it actually full. Hope that helps. The suction power will not disappoint.
Hi. I still think the bissell revolution hydrosteam is the best because steam penetrates deeper and is more useful for odors or heavy stains. But the Shark is the easier to handle and your carpets should dry faster than the bissells.
I just picked up this machine at Costco for $250. I haven’t used it yet, but I’m considering returning it. From Costco as well the Bissell Proheat 2X revolution pet pro is being discounted to $200. I’m having a hard time deciding if we should keep the shark or save $50 and get the tried and true Bissell. It’s been out longer and proven. What would you all do? We have 3 days to make a decision.
hi! In this case, if you have a big house and intend to use the Bissell biweekly or more, I would switch to the Bissell because you save the $50, Costco already extends warranty on the Shark or the Bissell and long run, you can get replacement parts for the Bissell, and the hand attachment is better imo. I do think if you have a smaller home or an apt, the Shark will be more versatile, still has the 5 year warranty (does take work to file a claim with shark) and the shark does extract better than the bissell. The Proheat 2x is big so you need space to store it.
@@TheFrenchGlow I appreciate the response, the house it pretty big, but this will only be used on a rug that’s about 12 feet by 16 feet and then a couple of couches and a chair. The rest of the house is hardwood flooring. So in this case you would go with the shark? I’m hoping either hand piece would do well enough for the couch cleaning.
Funny enough i actually don’t like the biased products I’ve tried all of them and they leave the carpet so wet ! And have a small tank , my favorite ones have been the Hoover smart wash ! It cleans really well and leaves the carpet almost dry
I got the original hoover smart wash for a housewarming gift 30 years ago, it work amazing for 30 years, then in 2020 i decided to buy the new Hoover smart wash thinking it would take me another 30 years, it didn't even last 30 weeks, stopped working internal parts rusted, and parts broke that hoover wasn't selling parts for, so i said whatever maybe i got a lemon, it was still under warranty so i got another and that hoover lasted a year before it stopped working, and that's why im here looking at the Shark
I have the Bissell. It's over rated. One major ding is that the tools/attachments are not onboard. And, the solution barely dribbles out of the attachment. I have to use a separate spray bottle, even after taking everything apart and cleaning it. In addition, my Bissell cleans, well, but leaves a lot of wetness behind.
I have tried on heavy stains and it is very effective but some stains might be permanent. If it's a hardcore set stain, I usually use a brand called capture carpet and rug cleaner first. It doesn't get more hardcore effective than that imho.
@@TheFrenchGlow you have me sold on this then! Going to Costco right now to buy it. Thank you for your super awesome and informative video. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I hope you see this and can answer my question. Does this one suck up the carpet, fiber, or just the liquid? I have the green Hoover and my carpet is really old so when I vacuum the carpet fibers come up and it kicks out and the vacuum never actually sucks up the carpet fibers.
Do we need to get the "two unique chemicals that mix and activate on contact" to clean, or does the Shark perform well without it? We want to avoid being stuck with a paperweight when the chemicals are discontinued or run out due to supply chain issues.
Hi! That looks like Shark's plan but you can get oxy carpet cleaning solution in bulk from a number of brands. I have used the shark with their products as well as rug doctor and bissell mixes. Being totally honest, I didn't really notice a difference and felt you still want to pretreat your carpets with the carpet expert or stain striker.
@@TheFrenchGlow you just need to do a little research to find the answer. The actual answer is no you don't need to do it and it's not a stunt to purchase more chemicals. It's clearly stated in the manual that oxicleaners work best on First Contact and not when diluted in water. So the real answer to this person's question is no by regular shampooer that doesn't have an oxy portion, and then you can buy any oxy concentrate to pour in. It's not brand specific it's just chemicals
This is a great review, we’re looking at getting the stainstriker version, but I don’t know that we really need the handheld part as we just got the Bissell Little Green spot cleaner that’s doing a great job so far! Does the version without the handheld have the same suction power as the more expensive?
I have mixed reviews with the shark carpet Xpert. Right know it sucked. Really did not pick up the water on the carpet. Bissel does much better. I am going to try again later and see. If still same results will take back to the store. I only got a little water in the tank not even a 1/4. I filled up tank twice.
I love my shark vacum. I am very disappointed with the shark carpet cleaner. doesn't seem to have the suction power I expected to pull majority of wayer/ salution out of carpet. and I don't like the automatic solution dispenser, I would like more control. I just bought this today but will probably return tomorrow. Come on shark! live up to the standard. ( I won't trade my shark vacum for nothing but the cleaner.....just not impressed.
Can you tell me if I can clean my area rugs that are on top of hard wood floors would be ok? I see you do it in the demonstrations. I am getting the hydro cleaner with steam, thanks to your demo. Thank You.
Hi! On light cleanings, it works and dries without any water damage to my hardwood floors But it is very easy to oversaturate your area rugs depending on their thickness and I recommend checking. If I have a heavy stain, I usually put a thin piece of cardboard or an old towel on top of a large garbage bag underneath that area on a big area rug or if its very wet, I will let it dry outside or on kitchen bathroom tile.
Quick question: does the $200.00 Shark CarpetXpert come with the exact same brushroll as the more expensive “Stainstriker” version? Your review has me ready to buy the less-expensive version but I can’t find any videos that show the $200.00 model being opened up and demonstrated and compared to the “Stainstriker” model. Thanks!
Hi! The carpet xpert versions are the same but the handheld tools are different + you do not get the 2nd tank for oxy. If it's mostly for floors. The $200 will perform just as well on floors.
Okay I’m needing a new carpet cleaner and conditioner the shark but how does it do on the long carpet I see all videos on the short carpet but what abut the long
Could I use this on my sealed hardfloor, I use a Bissell Crosswave but perhaphs can get rid if this would work? Bought the CarpetXpert after this review, so thank you! I was considering the Bissel Hydrosteam but Shark is half the price and does the job just as well (to be seen...)
@@TheFrenchGlow because I have a new dog and he has destroyed our carpet with accidents and we are renters and I want to make sure I get the right cleaner to do the job
When you put it in “Quick Dry Mode,” does any solution come out at all? Because the sticker light diagram says “Dry Only” where the labeling below the light says “Quick Dry Mode” so I don’t know if that means it’s putting less down than deep clean or none at all. Your trick of removing the water tank is definitely a good one but I’m a little apprehensive about doing so as it could burn up the water pump if it is trying to put solution down.
I’ve got another question, did you have any issues with either this particular machine or the one with StainStriker extracting the water? I saw a review from another guy who’s reviewed a ton of machines and he had a lot of issues with this machine extracting the water leaving the carpet super wet for hours. ua-cam.com/video/4_zTpeknDr8/v-deo.html
For carpet, yes but you will need to refill the tank/empty the dirty water repeatedly if you a deep clean. It really depends on the size of the bedroom and if the stains are big.
Ive owned 3 bissels they always fall apart and the last little green machine i bought i sent it right back the suctions on it was useless. The orignal model from 30 years ago was a hell of a lot better, my wife loned to to somone who used it to clean up blood so we dont use it anymore, Gross.
@TheFrenchGlow You are using the urine cup as a stain striker that is for pet urine. Traps it into that small bowl, so it does not go into the holding tank.
Theres a UK test that measured exactly how much water was sucked up out of deep pile carpet and it was far from impressive. this video was only tested on a rug.
FYI you don't know if shark designed it to have the tank pulled off when you want to do suction only? Seriously if you're going to do a comprehensive review rtfm! I just downloaded the PDF and I can quickly read that no it was not designed to pull the tank off when you want to do suction and in fact there is a specific button right above the power button called the "mode button" which when you press it, it stops dispensing water and you can suction all day long. LOL come on dude!!

The real test would be to leave for a month before attempting to clean.

It works on stains that have been there a really long time. My daughter spilled chocolate milk, and god knows what on the carpet in her room, over the course of 3 years and she didn’t clean it up! This cleaner got the stains out.
So you wait a month to clean your stains? I clean them right after they happen.

Ive owned 3 bissels they always fall apart and the last little green machine i bought i sent it right back the suctions on it was useless.
The orignal model from 30 years ago was a hell of a lot better, my wife loned to to somone who used it to clean up blood so we dont use it anymore, Gross.
Did not use stain striker properly, read instructions, this product is excellent.
hi! I thought I said the same thing except I read the instructions. multiple times.
@TheFrenchGlow You are using the urine cup as a stain striker that is for pet urine. Traps it into that small bowl, so it does not go into the holding tank.
and where exactly did you see this for $199? everywhere I've seen it is $299.00
They have two different models this one is $299 he was referring to the model below this one when mentioning the $199 price
Ho hype, just the facts and Dried-in stains demonstration!. Awesome review video, thank you.
You used the wrong hand tool.
Good, video I have one and it the best I did my rooms and its amazing smell great❤😂
Theres a UK test that measured exactly how much water was sucked up out of deep pile carpet and it was far from impressive. this video was only tested on a rug.
So why don't they have the integrity to publish the power or psi specs?
I gave it a thumbs down because because the small handheld should be just as efficient as the unit itself
how deep the cleaner gets is meaningless without pro extraction.
You’re really using expensive protein milk for this test ! Lol great video
thank you! I wanted to use a protein shakes people know and drink.
The problem with shark is it’s disposable, they do not sell parts. No thanks.
Hopefully they fix this and have more parts for sale and not just listed but out of stock.
I've owned all sorts of vacuums and shampooers by far shark has been the best bottom line!
You call the company they will send you the parts at least with the vacuum they were really great with my motor
I love shark... But leave carpet cleaning to Bissell. They will always be superior.

FYI you don't know if shark designed it to have the tank pulled off when you want to do suction only? Seriously if you're going to do a comprehensive review rtfm! I just downloaded the PDF and I can quickly read that no it was not designed to pull the tank off when you want to do suction and in fact there is a specific button right above the power button called the "mode button" which when you press it, it stops dispensing water and you can suction all day long. LOL come on dude!!
I was showing it was possible but I said don't do it. Its obvious to NOT do it....
Could you try it on the laminate please? Can it work with a different roller?
Nothing beats a top range bissell
