It was put to the test immediately and passed.
I used my CarpetXpert right away on a high traffic area in front of my recliner that show dark spots. It was able to remove them and make the wear unnoticeable. Later a platter of hot wings found its way to the floor and I was able to completely remove the deep orange oily sauce as if it never happened. So far, so good, and I'm a happy customer at this point.

Any pet owners dream!
We have cats who like to….mark whose human owns what furniture. This machine is works great! The extra fur protection is a god send! So many of my machines get gummed up by fur. Even after a lot of vacuuming!!

Easy use and easy to clean!
My favorite carpet cleaner to date. Much easier to clean than others I've owned in the past. If you inside pets you can't go wrong with this investment!

Love the versatility and effectiveness!
I have used this a few times now and I never realized how much dirt gets left behind to the naked eye! I used it on my dog's bed ramp that I have owned for 5+ years and never cleaned because I never owned a carpet cleaner before, and the filth that this vacuum picked up was shocking. I also used it on my car driver's seat. So gross. I was intimidated about using this vacuum because I thought it would be complicated, but it's super easy. I can't wait to use it more! Shark makes quality products.

Best carpet cleaner ever!!!!
I love this!!! I use to have a bissell pet pro and didn’t like it. This new shark you don’t have to pull any triggers and wonder if your putting the correct amount of solution down. I always put way too much. And I absolutely hated the smell of the solution. This shark is a dream all you do is push the machine and pull back and the machine figures that all out for you. It’s a little heavy but it cleans so well I don’t care. I love the dry mode. It’s just sucking up extra solution and therefore it drys allot faster. I really like it. My dogs loves is getting older and having accidents and I use this allot. It’s very easy to rinse the machine after use and you just let it air dry. I’m so happy with this . It’s the best I’ve ever owned. Also it has two places where it sucks up instead of the normal one place. It is totally recommended!!

It does a great job!!!!
Hello Shark. I am taking a break from using my new CarpetXpert Hair Pro with Stain Striker. I am kinda old and old people need a break. YOU GUYS have hit a GRAND SLAM with this machine. I am using it in a bedroom that has been neglected.
The suction is AWESOME!! I know others have mentioned the smaller dirty water tank. I will change it more often to have great results like I am getting. It is picking up dirt and cat hair that was missed by two other machines. Assembly was easy and the tanks are easy to fill and maintain. It is easy to control and not too heavy. Also love the 5 year warranty.
Took me a few minutes to get used to the two different modes between Deep Clean and suction only. Have not used the hose and different tools yet but that is coming.
I am glad I took the plunge and bought this thing. If anyone else is in the market, at least check this machine out. I cant imagine being disappointed.

Holy grail carpet cleaner!
We bought this vacuum a couple of months ago and after using it a handful of times I can write a review on it! Hands down this is the best carpet cleaner we have ever owned. It has made our living room rug look new and our bedroom carpet brand new when we built our custom home. The only con is having to dump out the water very often because of how small the tank is but other than that 10/10 carpet cleaner. You will get a bang for your buck! If you have kids or pets that leave a mess, this works magic!

Lifesaver
I’ve had this carpet cleaner for just about a year now, and it has truly been a lifesaver. Between a dog with frequent stomach issues and a 17-year-old cat who isn’t exactly cooperative, I deal with more messes than I’d like.
This is my first carpet cleaner, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but I have borrowed others in the past that were far too bulky or complicated to use regularly. This machine, however, is incredibly user-friendly—lightweight, easy to maneuver, simple to take apart, clean, and reassemble. It makes tackling pet messes so much faster and less stressful.
I primarily use the stain-striker feature, but I’ve also tried the full vacuum mode and it works very well. I’ve removed stains I thought were permanent and eliminated cat urine odors that no online “miracle remedy” could touch. For ease of use and effectiveness, this has honestly been one of my favorite purchases ever, and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
My only complaint is that I wish the suction were a little stronger. It also struggles with tougher jobs—like my beige ottoman that my dog has claimed—but for everyday stains and odors, it’s fantastic.
Overall, if you have pets and want something that’s easy to use, this is absolutely worth it.

I LOVE my Shark
I have 3 Great Danes. One is elderly and leaks when she sleeps, and another has birth defects the leave her with limited bowel and bladder control. Needless to say, I have to clean my carpets A LOT. I have used other less expensive carpet cleaners. They all required more time and labor with barely satisfactory results. I decided to spend exta on a Shark carpet cleaner. I am glad I did. Not only has my Shark removed the stains left by other brands, but it is easier to use and MUCH easier to clean than any other carpet cleaner that I have used. It has also cut my carpet shampooing time by more than half.

never going back
this has been the best carpet cleaner I have ever bought. I am upset that I didn't switch to shark sooner. I have no problem with cleaning the carpets now. it is so easy to use and to clean out. we used to clean about twice a year cause it was a hassle. now we have no problem with pulling out the cleaner and getting the floors done quick. and the quick dry makes it so easy to clean up before guests arrive.

Strong, well made, but small dirty tank amount
I just received and used the carpetxpert and I love it. It does an awesome job of cleaning.
You can't spray the cleaner yourself, it sprays going forward and sucks it up in reverse.
Normally I wouldn't like that but I kind of do now. It's easy.
I have used the Bissell Proheat for several years and I like this shark better.
One thing I don't like is short cleaning time since the dirty tank only holds a small amount. I did figure out though that I was going too slow forward, so it's just a little learning curve there.
I had to empty several times and I'm not a big fan of that part but it does such a good job that I'll be ok with it.
I wouldn't recommend for people that clean other people's houses, you'll just be emptying and filling a lot.
I also have a new Hoover XL and it does a fabulous job also and the tanks are huge and I love that. Definitely don't have to fill and empty until you finish a lot of floor.
This shark even sucks up carpet fibers. Not sure if that's good or bad lol. I wouldn't use it on expensive rugs, but it says that right in the manual.
All in all I'm very happy with it and the solution that came with it.
The non-removable hair filter is a little annoying, but I just broke off a bra hanger to work it out. I'll be looking for a little brush of some sort to clean it out. It's very easy to empty the dirty tank though.

Hands down Best carpet cleaner for pet owners!
I've owned the carpet cleaner for 3 months and never been so happy with this purchase. In the past I have purchased the top of the line Bissell which usually last about 5 years. I decided to check what else was out there and landed on the Shark hair pro. I have seen other reviews complain about the smaller water tank. The first time I used I was a bit annoyed myself. I quickly got over it. I honestly was maybe 2 extra times I had to empty. I quickly realized it was mostly due to the suction power which really helped clean my carpets and get all the dirty water out. This was really nice because it helped with the carpet drying faster and not leaving wet pet water to smell behind. I use to spend so much extra time trying to get all the water out with the Bissel. This also had a dry feature which I found a nice bonus feature. The smaller tank makes this lighter and more maneuverable. I have a bad
shoulder on my dominant arm. I use to have to rotate
to my non-dominant side which was annoying
because I didn't feel right and I would get tangled on
the cord. Speaking of the power cord. It's a nice length
and didn't have to change outlets in my master
bedroom. I have used the stain strike tools and wow! The suction is just as amazing and its easy to use with being on the vacuum. No havimg to get the extra tubing out! I love the self cleaning feature too! I'm glad I went with the animal hair pro especially with the insane suction. The nasty icky hair it pulled up was disgusting and couldn't believe in my carpets. I own a Dyson animal ball pro vacuum and thought it was getting the embedded hair (I have 2 dogs and 4 cats.) Nope. I wish I had gone with the Shark upright and cordless when I was debating new vacuums last year. My new big dog has lightweight hair that made it harder to get with my Bissell animal one. I spent a pretty penny on the Dyson and I guess need to wait for these to give out. I'm hooked and know I will be loyal to this brand for all new purchases.

A+++++
I am a housekeeper at an apartment home, and I had my boss order me this shampooer because all the ones we recently purchased crapped out on me. I did not have high hopes for this one. I was willing to try. I will gladly say I was pleasantly surprised. This is the best investment I could ever think to try. I absolutely love this shampooer!!!! It works like no other. Leaves the apartments smelling so fresh and so clean. It keeps up with the high demand (usage) of apartment turnovers. It is so easy to clean after each use unlike all of the other shampooers where you have to take screws out of. With this one you do not!!! Thank you for creating such an amazing product!!!

High quality, effective and durable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s been a while since I first used the Shark CarpetXpert Hair Pro. This machine is a very effective and well built. I had a few spots that my “creative “ child made…..commercial cleanings made the spots disappear, but always came back! As of today the Shark has made the spots disappear for good. I recently gave my stamp of approval, to a potential customer at my local department store. You can’t go wrong with a Shark product….my new bestie!

good buy!
Got this recently and ran it for the first time the other day. Great machine, easy to use. Have 2 dogs and 2 cats and even though my Stratos gets most of the hair, the HairPro found more. The hair cage on this worked perfectly and the ability to switch easily from floor to spot to furniture was great.
When done, it was very easy to clean out all areas to make sure I am ready to go next week on the next rug.

GET IT IF YOU HAVE KIDS OR PETS THAT THROW UP
I purchased this and thank god I did. My bf made fun of me for buying this when he had a Rainbow system. But when his daughter threw up all over the floor, the Shark was so quick to grab from the closet and sucked up all the chunky bits and pieces and left the carpet smelling great. And it was super easy for my daughter to clean the brush as it pops out. The self washing option is awesome as well for flushing the tube! I only wish it worked for all of the attachments not just one but its okay.

Amazing ability and easy to use.
This is not my first shark product. This cleaner is beyond amazing. It cleans stains that were left by my previous cleaner. I spent more money on this one but so worth it. Its cleaning ability and ease of usage is absolutely amazing. It uses a lot less chemicals also not only saving you money but better for the environment.

Quick, easy and works!
Love my Shark CarpetXpert HairPro! Got it today and went straight to testing. My son threw up on his carpet and it left a stain. Done in less than an hour, took the stains out! Collected sooooo much pet hair my vacuum missed. Tester spot was a small low traffic bedroom area and it pulled dirrrrty water!

Turns like a traditional vacuum cleans like crazy
I have been through a few different carpet cleaners and I thought my carpets were pretty clean. This is my favorite one ever and I appreciate the long warranty. Best feature on this is the rinsing and ease in cleaning the head so it doesn’t stink after using. 10/10 the attachments are extremely well thought out and if it’s anything like all my other shark products it’s going to run like the day I bought it for years. Very very happy I purchased may be my new favorite cleaning tool
