    • The best carpet cleaner, from a dog owner
Color: Teal
I have owned a number of carpet cleaners and owned and used this one for 4 months before writing the review. I would definitely recommend this machine, no matter what cost level or system you are considering. Don't waste your money on a spot machine, expensive or cheap machine, just get a machine that is versatile; and this machine is. It is easy to use, but before you do, make sure you read the simple instructions. Tgis will ensure you understand how to use the machine versus the spot cleaner. Benefits of this machine- *spot cleaner-easy to use, does an excellent job and easy clean-up. The brush is rubber rather than bristles. When using this part of the machine, you only have to clean-up the spot unit, rather than the entire system, which is a big plus. Suction is very strong, leaving the carpet only lightly damp, allowing it to dry quickly. *Carpet system-light weight and easy to move. NO TRIGGER TO HOLD FOR SOAP DISPENSING!!!! Excellent suction leaving the carpet lightly damp. Therefore, no need to run fans to dry the carpet. Excellent area run cleaning. I can clean the area rugs, leaving it on the wood floor during cleaning and drying with no concern of soaking the through the rug and impacting the flooring. Cleaning up the system, is easy and you are able to remove all parts to clean up for the next use. The cleaning product has a very pleasant scent and does an excellent job. Downfalls, *the water tanks could be larger, *the initial cleaning solution provided could be larger. *Replacement of cleaning solution is not cheap and the availability is limited. Order some when you buy the machine. *the spot cleaner hose and unit storage is a bit annoying as it falls off often. Overall, I will tolerate the tank sizes, cleaning solution cost and the spot cleaning hose coming unattached for the superior job the system does!!!!! ... show more

Color: Teal
I absolutely love this machine!! It is so easy to use, and what a difference from all other machines!! I am absolutely pleased with the results. It pairs extremely well with the Shark vacuum too. There is no hair or hairballs upon washing at all, letting me know the Shark vacuum is superior to all other vacuums as well!! There is no guess work on how much solution to put on your carpet, and no guess work on how much you are pulling back out of your carpet. The Shark has covered all your needs. I also love the cleaning products that came with the machine. They do an excellent job and they smell so fresh and clean.😃 Shark has exceptional products! I will never waist my money on any other machine again!! ... show more

    • Excellent Consumer-Grade Carpet Cleaning Machine
Color: Teal
First, I regard my 4 star rating as a strong endorsement. And as a consumer-grade machine, it is very good. It still is not in the same class as a commercial machine. For that reason, I don't think it would be realistic to expect the EX201 to hold up to day-in, day-out work. But for typical home use where carpets might be cleaned once every year or so, it should give very long service. The unit is fairly heavy (18 pounds), so it is not flimsy plastic junk. It is heavier than our Shark Navigator vacuum cleaner. I just completed an initial cleaning of approximately 400 square feet of a combined living and dining room wall to wall carpet. This carpet is a short-nap "Berber" type, which is relatively easy to clean. I do not have experience using this machine with a longer nap carpet, which may be more challenging to clean. The cleaning took about 3 hours, which including an initial vacuuming and moving furniture back and forth. The unit has strong suction for removing the cleaning fluid and leaving the carpet only somewhat damp. It is useful to carefully read the instructions that recommend two back and forth passes on each area. Each forward pass dispenses cleaning fluid and each backward pass removes it. After that and initial double pass of an area, it helps to switch to suction-only mode to remove as much dampness as possible. One of the possible limitations of this machine is the dispensing and collection tanks are relatively small and require frequent emptying and re-filling. The 400 square feet took about 6 emptying and refill cycles. This is only a minor annoyance, but not difficult. Collection tank emptying is easy as is refilling of the dispenser tank and adding Shark's Deep Clean Formula to warm water. Shark also sells a separate oxygen cleaner that goes undiluted into a separate small tank and is used only for spot cleaning. The normal deep clean formula is added to the large tank for general cleaning. One of the strong aspects of this well-built machine is it more than pays for itself on first use compared to hiring a professional carpet cleaner. While the professional cleaning may be a bit deeper than the Shark, the savings with Shark are pretty significant. I estimate that the cost of the amount Deep Clean Pro Formula for the 400 square feet was approximately $15. It leaves a slight citrus scent on the carpet, which we found pleasant and not over-powering. The 12 ounces that came with unit is only enough for a small area, so anyone buying this, should purchase one or more 48 ounce bottles of concentrates. The oxygen cleaner is not needed except for spot cleaning. The Shark cleaning concentrate is fairly expensive (about 40 cents an ounce). There are many other brands of concentrate at much lower prices (as low as 10 cents an ounce). Many of those get good reviews, so I will probably try something more economical even though Shark recommends you not use any other brand. ... show more
