Horribly designed product the hose was attached backwards so it always pops off the mounting clip for storage the hose leaks and the top plastic piece that is needed for the striker to work doesn’t stay attached. A waste of 100 dollars
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Based on what you’ve described, it sounds like there’s a chance your StainStriker may not be working as it should. Could you please give our team a call at 1-855-427-5127? We’d love to help ensure you’re getting the most from your product.
I used my new Shark portable carpet and upholstery cleaner to shampoo some dirty spots on my carpet. And I was so impressed! I will use it a lot to clean up spots on the carpet. I don't have pets, so the separate tool for cleaning pet messes won't be used. But I can see how it would be useful. Very thoughtful little addition. The machine is designed well and I'm glad I got it.
I've owned it almost a year..time for a review. Works well...just a few gripes...almost a perfect machine.. -Noisy -Hose about 2ft too short..cannot put on the floor and hit all cushions and couch area - power cord needs to be 3 to 6ft longer.. nobody has a couch next to wall outlet..you have to use extension cord.. Yup Almost perfect...even with the shortfalls ...I recommend

Have had my stain striker for about 18 months, went to take to my daughter's so she could us it and I was cleaning it up and noticed the hose was coming apart, Came on the website to look for a replacement and started reading the reviews and learned others also have the same issue and there are not replacement hoses. Very disappointed, I bought a shark because I wanted something that was going to last.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I recently bought this item because I only have rugs upstairs in my house and I needed to find an affordable rug cleaner that I could use on for my stairs also. This cleaner is amazing!! It works so well if cleaned 3 rooms in my house and a jacket and it worked amazing on all of them!!! I’m so happy with this product
