Shark StainStriker Portable Carpet Upholstery & Area Rug Cleaner, Stain & Odor Remover, Perfect for Car Interiors, Nordic Blue, PX202BRN

This is such an incredible tool for deep cleaning stairs and carpet stains. The water tank has enough space to last for two flights of stairs without needing to be refilled. The vacuum and cleaning solution are very strong and effective and were able to get very old stains out of my carpet. I have 4 cats who often yak, and one of the attachments has a separate mini waste container to make cleanup for small, foul messes to be cleaned very easily without having to clean the big waste bin. The whole machine is also so lightweight and easy to move around which I love. Honestly probably one of the best cleaning tools I’ve tried in a very long time, I highly recommend!!

I love this cleaner.... It takes out wine, coffee, chocolate so easily & it has even cleaned things that my kids have spilled into my car carpets that solidified & I thought we would never get it out. This shark cleaner is very easy to clean as well & it stores very easily! I have also cleaned all of my chairs & couches with it & they came out so much cleaner.

I’m really impressed with this Shark StainStriker. It’s compact, easy to store, and powerful enough to handle tough stains on carpets, upholstery, area rugs, and even car interiors. It works great for spills, pet accidents, high-traffic spots, and those random messes you want cleaned quickly without dragging out a full-size machine. The suction power is excellent, and it does a great job pulling dirt and dirty water out of fabric surfaces. Many reviewers also highlight its strong cleaning performance, portability, and ease of use. I also like that it’s simple to fill, empty, and clean after use. The size makes it convenient for stairs, couches, and vehicles where bigger cleaners are a hassle. Overall, this is a great buy for any home—especially if you have kids, pets, or want to keep your car interior looking fresh. It saves time, works well, and makes spot cleaning so much easier.

This cleaner works really well for quick spot cleaning. I’ve used it on upholstery and small carpet stains, and the suction is strong for its size. It’s easy to use and doesn’t take up much space. It does best on fresh stains — older or deeper stains may need multiple passes and don’t always come out completely. Also, the tank is small, so you’ll need to refill it often. Overall, a great tool for everyday messes, just not a replacement for a full carpet cleaner.

I bought this to clean my car seats. I didn't realize that this is more tailored for pet stain clean ups. Well, i was thinking that it's an upholstery as primary that you can also use it for pet stains. I think it's the other way around, pet cleaner first, then upholstery. It works fine. cleans fine, it's just that the head attachment that it comes with are pretty small, and although the biggest attachment is good size, it's really not usable for the car seats, so i use the medium size, and that takes more time. It also comes with cleaning soaps and that is really nice, because they smell good.

Hi my name is Alexis and I am ADDICTED to cleaning my carpets. I added this thing to my baby registry and gifted it to myself because anyone who has ever been pregnant knows about going on an unhinged rage cleaning spree where nothing is off limits. DON'T GET THIS MACHINE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO BECOME OBSESSED WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS SO SATISFYING!!! First off this thing is excellent for dried blood stains (I promise I'm not a serial killer). Sadly we lost a dog last year to a cancerous tumor on his nose that metastasized. The last week or so of his life, he was basically just dripping puddles of blood all over our carpets from his nose and mouth. I did my best at the time on my hands and knees with a spray bottle of carpet cleaner. When I got this thing 10 months later, I certainly didn't have high expectations for dried on, set in, year-old blood stains. However, the stain striker took care of those like they were nothing. So then I moved on to the cushions of our ottoman that can't be laundered. I was in awe!! The satisfaction of dumping the black brown water that you get out of the surfaces of your home quickly becomes intoxicating. So then I thought I'd throw the hardest thing I had at the machine, my car seats that have never been cleaned in my 11 year-old car. My passenger seat looked like a crime scene (again...not a serial killer but someone who is way too trusting of takeout Tupperware when I know I drive like I'm in Grand Theft Auto). I had put an uncooked French toast casserole on the front seat once 6 years ago and it leaked everywhere. I never cleaned it and figured after years of 100 degree summers since, baked on egg custard on upholstery was there to stay. I honestly would have been stoked if my car seats just looked half as bad when I got done with them, but they LOOK BRAND NEW!! I may have gotten carried away and did the entire car upholstery and carpets for 5 hours at 4 days before my due date at the risk of delivering spontaneously in my driveway. My husband tried to convince me to stop on my third tank of solution and with a crazed glint in my eye, but he's terrified of me and should be because I can clean up blood now if he pisses me off. The parts are extremely easy to rinse clean and the solution that comes with it smells really refreshing, and the price point feels like an absolute steal.

I recently purchased the Shark StainStriker Portable Carpet Upholstery & Area Rug Cleaner (PX202BRN) in Nordic Blue, complete with the bonus XL tool, four cleaning attachments, and full-size cleaning solutions. As a pet owner with two dogs and a household full of kids, spills, pet accidents, and mystery stains are a daily reality. I’ve tried everything from spray-on removers to renting full-size carpet cleaners, but this little machine has completely transformed how I handle messes. It’s lightweight (under 9 pounds), powerful, and incredibly effective—honestly, it’s the best spot cleaner I’ve ever used. Setup and Design Out of the box, assembly is a breeze. The instructions are clear, and it takes just minutes to fill the tanks: one for clean water mixed with the included Deep Clean Pro solution, and a separate one for the OXY Multiplier that activates the dual-action formula. No premixing required, which is a huge time-saver. The Nordic Blue color looks sleek and modern, and the compact size makes it easy to store in a closet or under the sink. The 4 tools included (mini, 3.5” tough stain, 7” XL, and pet mess extractor) cover everything from small spots to larger areas and pet-specific messes. Performance This thing is a beast! The dual-activated OXY formula delivers on Shark’s claim of 20x more stain-striking power—it tackled old red wine spills on my area rug, muddy paw prints on the carpet, and even a stubborn pet urine stain on the couch that had been there for weeks. The suction is incredibly strong; it pulls up deep-embedded dirt and leaves fabrics damp but not soaked, drying in just a few hours (much faster than bigger machines). I was shocked at how much filthy water ended up in the dirty tank after cleaning what looked like “clean” upholstery. It also eliminates odors permanently—no lingering pet smells! I especially love it for car interiors. The hose is flexible, and the tools get into tight spots like seats and floor mats perfectly. The bonus XL tool was great for larger upholstery jobs, like my living room ottoman. Pros • Super portable and easy to maneuver • Powerful stain and odor removal, even on tough/old messes • Quick drying time • Versatile tools for carpets, rugs, upholstery, and cars • Generous included solutions to get you started Cons • The tanks are on the smaller side (expected for a portable unit), so larger jobs require a couple of refills • You’ll want to stock up on the Shark solutions, as they work best with the machine Overall, if you have pets, kids, or just life happening in your home, the Shark StainStriker PX202BRN is a must-have. It’s saved me from replacing rugs and furniture multiple times already. Highly recommend—worth every penny!

Okay, so here's the deal. We have a dog. And if you have a dog, you need a carpet cleaner or you like it or not are living with filthy carpets. So we have a RugDoctor that we use ever few months and it works great. But it's huge. And heavy. And getting it out and setting it up to do a small section of carpet is really a pain in the rear. I figured a little spot cleaner would be a good investment. So I bought a Bissell. It broke after three uses. And I bought a new improved one, the little green one you see all over the place. The hose leaked. And I mean LEAKED. Their customer service was AWFUL, so I got rid of it. I wanted a pro-grade spot cleaner. I'm willing to pay 2 or even 3X what the cheap models cost if it works better and lasts longer. The rug doctor one is also huge and had middling reviews, so I looked at the Shark model. We have a Shark vacuum at Church and I actually think the design is extremely clever and it works well. So why not try the Shark spot cleaner? I was suspicious: at $99 in Amazon Prime Day it must be a piece of crap, right? Not so. First off, this thing is SMALL. Much smaller than the competitors, and it is SQUARE and a huge oblong thing. Maybe 14" by 14" by 14". This means it can be stored almost anywhere without issue. The Bissells I owned were horribly noisy, and the shrill / shrieking tone of the vacuum really made it unpleasant to use. This one is loud as well, but it is NOT AT ALL shrieky or shrill, so using it is not fatiguing to the ears. I love that about it. But does it work? We had some stains from our dog where she likes to lie watching the activities in the kitchen without having to lie on the cold tile in the kitchen. So that area is particularly dirty. So is the area next to the couch which she frequents. I filled the water tank to the line with hot tap water and then filled it with the cleaning solution to the next line (you use next to none of it). Then you put the Oxy accelerator in the other tank. And off you go. Here is what awaits you: It is small and lightweight, so you can easily take it around the house. Living room, bedroom, family room, no fuss and no bother getting it around the house. Reasonably long cord (probably 10 feet?) makes it pretty easy to get to various areas without having to unplug / replug. Operation can't be easier. Press the TOP MOUNTED (thank you designers!) power button and the vacuum fires up. Not quiet, but like I said, not obnoxious. You put on any one of FOUR different heads. A super small one is permanently attached for maybe dime size stains. Then there is a small one, maybe 3" across, then another one that has a weird reservoirs that I have no idea what it is used for, and then a large one maybe 6" across. The small one was great... You pull the trigger and extract the solution, and the built in brush which is removable allows you to ensure the solution gets into the pile. The clear head allows you to see the extraction that is happening, which I'm sure is more for show than anything else, but I did find it useful to make sure I'd gotten all the solution sucked up. So spray, brush, extract, spray, brush, extract, and... BOOM. Stains are gone. And I mean GONE! I used this in three rooms. All the stains (and some were nasty) are all gone save for one in the bedroom that is less of a stain and more of some sticky substance probably from the garden. It did an admirable job but I will likely have to use solvent to get rid of it all. The proof comes when you empty the waste tank, which admittedly is pretty small. You know it is time to empty it when the pitch of the vacuum changes, basically it closes a float valve to ensure you don't start spraying your surroundings with the dirt you sucked up through the vacuum exhaust. Definitely not something you want. So I took the device into the bathroom, lifted the waste tank out of the device (you just pull up on the handle) and then to remove the valve / feeder assembly, you push that same handle in the opposite direction and the whole top (which is actually the bottom) comes off. And when you dump the waste water into the toilet, don't be surprised when the toilet water turns a disgusting dark brown. Here's the thing: We vacuum regularly and we had our carpets cleaned maybe 6 weeks ago, and this water was filthy! How that much dirt came out of our carpets is pretty amazing. SO... in summary, this is a small and compact and very effective cleaner that is easy to store, easy to use and is not as loud or irritating as other machines. If this thing holds up (I did buy the three year extended warranty for an extra $10... figured it was worth it given the poor showing of the Bissell machines) so I would be delighted if my $10 proves to be a waste of money. If you read the internet, you'll see this is a top pick with a lot of reviewers. I can see why. It certainly is designed intelligently and appears to work great. If it lasts for several years, then I will have made a fine decision, and perhaps more important to the manufacturer, I will have become a satisfied customer who knows they can trust the brand to deliver true value to me as a customer.

Love this, works way better than the bissel we had! It’s great that it come with multiple attachments. No leaks, easier to clean out as well!

The product has suddenly stopped working after 2 minutes. As per many reviews the product is not compatible to be working with UAE Electricity Voltage (220V). Amazon should clearly mention that in product discerption and highlight such information to customers prior dispatching. The Shark PX202BRN StainStriker is a 120V product designed for the North American market, not 220V. Using this 120V appliance in 220V regions (like the UAE) without a step-down converter will cause it to burn out or fail.

Muy funcional, nada compleja, si la mancha es reciente la quita con facilidad, si la mancha ya se secó y lleva un rato así te recomiendo que mojes muy bien la zona dejes reposar y después talles como si no hubiera un mañana para que se quite. Desventaja los líquidos que trae se cansan rápido

I used this to clean the seats in my car. It did an excellent job and is easy to use.
