This little machine saved my mattress! After storage, my mattress was atrocious and this little thing brought it back to life! Easy to use, works great!!
I received it a couple of weeks ago. It does a great job cleaning up spills and old stains. The only reason why I did not rate it with 5 stars is that the hose is not removable and as such cannot be replaced.
This is the second time that the hose busted on me, in 2 years. I LOVE Shark, but this spot cleaner is not worth it. It works as good as my old Bissell that lasted me 4 years. I will not be repurchasing a new one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing product that everyone must have. It saves a lot of time. Perfect tool for deep cleaning stairs, chairs, sofas and carpets stains. The water tank have enough space to last for two flights of stairs without needing to be refilled. The vacuum and cleaning solution are very strong. It worth for the cost that has.

Best portable vacuum. It cleans really well and easy to use.
I bought this machine about a month ago. I absolutely love this little carpet cleaner!! It cleans so well, love the scrub brush and the trigger. And then picks up almost all the water. The carpet was completely dry within a few hours.
My first time using it and the water spray didn’t work I just hate I’m waiting for it and not what I expected I have other brand for years and work better than this one I’m just got so disappointed with this purchase

I got this yesterday and used it the same day! All I can say is this is magic! I put away our rug a year ago bc of pets. They were urinating on it and I wasn't going to keep it out and have them pee on it repeatedly. Well, the rug looks amazing now. Please don't judge us because the initial picture I took is how nasty the rug truly is. (I didn't think it was that bad until we rolled it out to see and clean it up!) I'm embarrassed lol It was hard work and my body is sore today haha but the rug looks great! 😅
I chose to get the Stain Stryker instead of the cordless and it paid off because I only had to stop twice to empty the dirty container. Their cordless version is smaller, so I can only imagine stopping repeatedly to empty it. Plus, I love how the machine stops working or sucking up the muck as an auto prevention so your dirty container doesn't overflow. Highly recommend for all to buy and have in their homes!
