Not a great product

The first one was replaced due to the vents on the sides spraying out the nasty water from the tank. The 2nd one is having the same issues. It looks like they placed some covers behind the vents to prevent the spray out, but it's not working. Just got through having to wipe down the sides our sectional due to the spray from the vents. Gross and very unsanitary. I am going to return this 2nd one and move on to something else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have the Shark Carpet expert hair pro. Have only had it a couple months and it has started leaking dirty water from the bottom. Not sure what the issue is. Otherwise cleans very well.

We’ll work together to confirm where your Shark was purchased and find a solution.
I like the design of the machine. The one thing that I don't care for is that you can only use shark cleaner solutions and that the machine does not have a trigger button in the handle to spray the water and solution on the carpet. It automatically comes out. I like that you can remove the brush and clean it. Over all it's a good machine and it's not huge it's sleek and smaller than most of them on the market. Love that it has multiple attachments as well.
The shark "Pet Xpert" carpet cleaner is Amazing! Better than I could hope for. It picks up the pet hair which is something I didn't expect. The only problem I have is a light should be mounted above the see thru window where the water goes up. As every carpet cleaner I've had has lacked in the past. This way u can see when u have gotton a majority of the water up.
I bought this cleaner over a year ago and have used it several times. It made my 13 year old sectional look like new after spills etc from 4 grandchildren!!! Also, it’s easy to clean up after use. Just take it apart , rinse and air dry. No inaccessible nooks and crannies like on other machines. The cleaning solutions are fantastic and leave a fresh clean smell.
