As a parent and pet owner, I needed a portable cleaner that could actually remove stains and odors, not just mask them. The Shark StainStriker PX201 exceeded my expectations. It’s compact, powerful, and makes cleanup a breeze whether it’s carpet, car seats, or a messy couch.🔹 First Impressions:The unit is sleek, lightweight, and ready to go right out of the box. It includes 3 different attachments and a starter cleaning solution, which was a nice touch. Everything snaps together easily, and the instructions were clear.🔹 Performance:This little machine works. It tackled old pet stains and recent spills like a pro. The dual-tank system keeps clean and dirty water separate, and the suction is surprisingly strong for such a compact design. The included Pet Mess Tool was especially helpful for targeting ground-in grime and odor.🔹 Cleaning Attachments:Wide-area tool worked great for rugs and larger spacesDetailing tool got into tight corners and car interiorsPet Mess Tool handled tough stains and pulled up odor effectively🔹 Pros:Lightweight and easy to carry aroundStrong suction power removes deep stainsTools and attachments make it versatileCleaning solution smells fresh, not overpoweringEasy to empty and rinse after use🔹 Cons:The water tanks are a bit small, so for big jobs you’ll need to refillCord length is average — could be longer for reaching around furniture🔹 Final Thoughts:If you have pets, kids, or just a high-traffic home, this cleaner is a total game-changer.

BLUF: LOVEPROS:Pet hair catcherCleaners spot they call it a Self washThe tanks sit flap so you can set them down, you don't have to hold them- FLAT BOTTOMS! or Tops, whatever.CONS: Um, I'll get back to you ...So this is probably the 3rd or 4th one of these devices I've gotten. We have animals, and messes are a part of life. My bestie has the little green one, it was awesome when I was pet sitting and her boy got diarrhea 😞.So I got the step up of from hers, with the heated water tank cause hot water works better>>>And I hated it. It was hard to clean, constantly leaked, and made a bigger mess when dumping the dirty water tank. Literally gave it away.Anyway, I have one in the repair shop, covered under a warranty, but that leaves me without. I have to take a trip for family stuff and am leaving my better-half with the 7 month nervous puppy with tummy issues, 2 other dogs, several indoor outdoor cats, chickens, and it's spring-ish. So there is mud, sap, poop, vomit, and a puppy with a tail that has killed my coffee more times than I can count. I knew I couldn't leave him without something. I took a chance. This came today. I'm packing and prepping and lo and behold, puppy takes out my coffee, again, all over my kitchen chair.. So I sighed, cleaned up the floor, gave him a carrot to distract him and set to assembling and using this.The problem with so many of these, is that pet hair causes so many clogs. And the place where the hose connects to them is like a U-turn so clog, clog, clog. Or the suctions good for a while and then sucks, or doesn't 🙃This has 2 pet catcher thingies. And although I was using this on a kitchen chair, the cats nap here when I'm not using them, so I decided to er on the side of caution and used the pet hair thing. It's also easy to set up. The water tanks have flat spots so when you flip them over to fill them, I can set them on the floor or counter and it doesn't fall over. I don't have to figure how to hold the damn thing and fill and whatever. Yay! This is a huge win for me. Someone really thought about the design.So I get the chair cleaned. Then I look at the pet hair catcher. Eeeew. But yay again. It was easy to clean. And it has the cleaner thing on it to clean the hose so it doesn't get yucky or smelly. And the little tool, the others just slide over it. Easy.Another thing I like about this is the handle is big enough you can squeeze the trigger, and then move your hand for the back and forth action and not be constantly accidently hitting the sprayer thing. Hate when I make more work for myself.Suction seems good. Won't know until I tackle other stuff or after I've used it a few dozen times. The self wash was easy. I haven't wrapped it up yet. I'm literally so excited. I am sitting here writing this review and not doing dishes or packing as I should be. I think if I find the spoons, I'll get to my man's chair, and maybe my yoga mat so it has a chance to dry before I get back ... My chair is still wet, well damp, not wet, and I won't know if the coffee came out yet for a bit. Let you know.I'll get back to you on the cons of I find them.

I don’t write reviews all that often but I love this carpet cleaner and the world should know. I have tried two other carpet cleaners, both of which have been popular models: the Hoover Spotless and the Bissell Little Green Mini. I liked the Hoover okay but it leaked a little. Not major, but enough and eventually it started leaking more and then not just from the clean water container but also the dirty water container, which was gross. So I switched to the Bissell which I truly hated. The whole thing wasn’t intuitive to me, there wasn’t a seal for the dirty water container, and I didn’t like how small the openings were for rinsing and cleaning purposes.So I got this one and the difference its astounding to me. No leaking from anything. Very user friendly in my opinion, and I love that everything locks into place and has handles to pull the containers out and put back in. Everything comes apart for cleaning afterwards and the lid of the dirty water container is the entire top of the container so you can get in there and clean it out and actually feel like it’s clean.Honestly if it actually cleaned the carpet only mediocre at this point I would still have loved it because I find it so easy to use. But the cleaning up of stains is far superior to the Bissell. I did think the Hoover did a great job of cleaning up carpet stains but not better than the Shark, and I think possibly the Shark has so far cleaned things up best.Just to give you a little insight into my day to day, I have two boys, one of whom has their teenager friends over fairly regularly. The Shark has faced grape soda and hot Cheeto puke. You literally cannot tell where either of those stains were. It is completely gone.No one wants grape soda or hot Cheeto puke on their carpet. No one. And no one wants reminders of when they cleaned grape soda or hot Cheeto puke off their carpet. And thankfully I do not have either of those issues any longer because of this amazing machine. Seriously, get this one.
