Just an FYI - the Oxy Multiplier tank is only used when using the handheld attachment and solution is sprayed. So it's good to use the handheld tool on tougher stains, as the sprayer on it uses the Oxy Multiplier solution.
@@oldguyhobbies1309 thanks! Overall it’s still working well. It’s not perfect, but it’s not leaking all over my carpet like my last one so that’s a win for me!
Pretty good video thank you.... I just bought one from Walmart came yesterday...put it together, yep the wand is a pain to get in the holder the hose has to be just right to get it in there. The Hoover I bought was junk I took it back the 1st time I used it. Anyway I'm going to try the shark hopefully it lasts at least a year....
Thank You for this video. I just got mine & put it together this morning. I just need to figure out how to use sister's Rainbow vac before trying it out. I'm very hopeful about a week old pet stain. (Puppy got sick the day after ordering this one. When I Googled the cleaners it showed I could get from Home Depot & a couple other places.) Thanks again!
Thank you for this review, i was looking for someone to tackle old stains like you had. My only question I have is, about the capacity and cleaning solution usage. I too have wall to wall carpets and want to do a deep clean for all of it. How is the cleaners water usage efficiency? How many bottles do you go through, and does the dirty water tank fill up fast, causing you to repeatedly make alot trips to clean it out?
That could be a regional thing. I don't know, I've heard it both ways also instruction book or instruction manual or owner's manual just plain manual even the user's guide. There's no right or wrong. No one's going to look at you crazy if you use any of these terms. However, ordering a Coke in the South is a whole different story.
Hello Ashley, great video! I was wondering how the Shark compares to your old Hoover. You did say the Hoover was getting old and losing its effectiveness but how would the Shark compare with the Hoover Smartwash when it was brand new? I’m stuck deciding between the two. Thanks!
I really like the Shark. Even though it is brand new, it is definitely easier to maneuver than the Hoover and empty the dirty water. I am going to try to do a better job cleaning the machine after every use in hopes to keep it running like new. I had issues with my Hoover leaking both dirty water and cleaning solution. We will see how the shark works with that long term.
What I noticed is for the amount of water at dumps out in the carpet. It picks up very little. It does pick up a lot of my cat hair, even though I vacuumed before I noticed you didn’t have much water after you did your stairs you mentioned that it didn’t pick up it has good suction, but I don’t know it just doesn’t pick up the water, what do you think?
I agree with you on that. It does put down a lot more water than it picks up. That’s my only issue with this vacuum, but it still cleans my carpets better than the old bissel I had. I go over it many times with quick try to try to suck up as much water as I can.

You are hilarious! Enjoyed your video. Thank you for being yourself while showing us your experience with the Shark :)
I've been thinking of buying one of these. Thanks for an honest opinion instead of a sales pitch.

Very informative! Appreciate your time and effort! 😊

I had to laugh when u were struggling with hose.. Thats why I opened your video
Haha thanks for reading the manual for me
Interesting that I'm the UK we would refer to them as instructions rather than directions usually.
@@RoseHastie instructions were probably a better word to use haha. I guess they can be considered both.

Here in the United States directions or instructions mean the same thing when doing something like this .😊
It is great, Ashley. I love it.❤
Thanks for watching! ❤️

@@theveldmanwayThe Shark it is then, thank you!

Yep absolutely. the Hoover I bought leaked all over the place and the wand was defective out of the box complete junk, took it back the next day..
My only concern is how robust is this cleaner?
It's pretty good. I got it when it first came out and have had no problems at all with mine. It's super easy to clean after use as well.
That woman is not the sharpest tack in the box when assembling the unit
@@Bandit-md6hn thanks. You are too kind.
We've all had our hind parts kicked by a box at least once.
