Shark CarpetXpert Upright Carpet & Area Rug Cleaner, Perfect for Pets, Lightweight & Powerful, Dirt, Grime, & Odor Removal, Carpet Shampooer, Cleaning Solution, Blue, EX121BRN

This light-weight carpet shampooer does a great job cleaning area rugs. It cleans like a champ, it's easy to maneuver, the tanks are easily removed and reattached, the cleaning head effortlessly disassembles for cleanup. It's light and small enough to carry in one handed upstairs and isn't a struggle to use. We have hardwood floors with three Persian-style rugs (knock-offs made in Belgium) that were last cleaned by our ancient Bissel shampooer. The little Shark picked up loads of old dirt and left the rugs looking bright and new. It also efficiently removed moisture from the rugs after shampooing, which reduced drying time (over night for us). The downside - This shampooer is NOT for vast, wall-to-wall cleaning. The tanks for cleaning solution and waste water are not large enought for big jobs. BUT, if you don't mind emptying and refilling the tanks frequently, this shampooer is a great deal. It also doesn't have any upholstry cleaning attachments. Note - use 'Shark cleaning concentrate' in the machine. I tried our old shampooer's cleaning solution and created a storm of soap bubbles. The Shark concentrate is formulated specially for their machine....it comes with a small sample bottle. If your home has pets, messy children, or sloppy old men in the house (like me), this shampooer is perfect for spot cleaning. It also might work best for condo owners, apartment renters, or on area rugs like ours. I'm generally very happy with the Shark shampooer and recommend it with the limitations noted above.

Where to start? I have 4 dogs. Enough said. Cleaning my carpets is a pretty regular chore for me each month. I have always been loyal to one brand, mostly because said company supports rescue pets. And I tend to go through machines almost every other year. It has nothing to do with brand or quality, but because I use the Hell out of them. Enough about me, let get to the problem at hand. 12 year old boxer just started a new medicine. It's been rough getting his tummy to adjust. In one night we accumulated 9 vomit stains between my room and down tje hall. I got about 1/3 of just my room done before my trusty 3 year old machine just stopped. Amazon overnight to the rescue!! I never owned a Shark brand shampooer. Like I said, I was total brand snob. But this machine was 100 bucks less than replacing my old machine. The reviews looked good. And at the price point if 150, even it it only lasts me a year, I would be getting my money worth. Small confession, my need to shampoo all the time, had very little to do with all the dogs. It's me. I'm the problem. I like things clean. Some people (my close friends and family) may even say I'm a bit OCD. Back to this Shark. LOVE IT!! I almost hate to admit it, but I think this may be my new brand. I got the blue one without the built on attachments, because I have a small hand shampoo machine that I love. Pros: This machine is light weight. Easy to push/pull. I appreciate having the option to do a quick dry. Low profile so I can get under my nightstands. Thick brushes that seem to get a deep scrub, and not just surface spots. Like how there is no trigger to squeeze to dispense solution water. It's a simple push forward to spray and pull back to suck up the water. The solution that came with the cleaner did a great job and each stain only needed a couple passes. Taking apart the machine to clean the filter and brush was easy because everything is accessible. Now the cons: small tank. May not be a deal breaker for most. But I gotta be honest, this part was almost annoying. The clean water and the dirty water tank is about half the size of my old machine. I knew that when I purchased it, and thought as long as it does a great job, I'll get over it. Ugh, I'm sure I will in time. Between shampooing and having to full and dump 4 times, I'm pretty sure I got my steps in today. I ended up using the whole bottle that came with the machine. And that's fine, I just wasn't thinking about how small the tanks are. At least I now know, to order a big bottle because the 12oz only did my room and the hallway. Luckily my old dog seems to have adjusted to his meds, so he won't bankrupt me just from purchasing shampoo. Conclusion: This was my first go at using it and I'm impressed with how well it cleaned. As for how long it will last someone who cleans often, like me, time will tell.

I'm so happy with this carpet cleaner! It did an excellent job with my badly stained carpet. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver, easy to assemble and clean, and easy to use. I love being able to flip a switch and have it suction up water when pushing in both directions, rather than spewing out water/solution when moving forward. It really helps the carpet dry so much faster! I have one evil-acting cat, and I had one very sick dog that had a few accidents. This cleaner and included solution managed to remove all the stains and odors with only one cleaning, leaving the carpet looking clean and smelling fresh. It's been a good month or two now since cleaning, and the stains and odors have not returned. The cat is no longer allowed in the room, and sadly, the dog has passed away, so I hope that this old carpet will last me another few years. It's pretty old, but looks about half the age that it did before I cleaned it with this great machine!

This is a really good carpet cleaner and the price is a good deal. I was amazed at the amount of nasty this one pulled out of my carpet and rugs. My old cleaner obviously left a lot behind but, this one did not leave anything behind and left everything looking like new. It releases the water and solution mixture evenly and in quick dry mode it pulls most of the wetness out and leaves the carpet a little damp. As for the things I would change if I could there are just a couple. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was that there were no attachments. Turns out there are no attachments because there is no place to attach them too. In other words, you can’t clean furniture or next to the baseboards and for that reason alone I wish I would have bought one that had an attachment port. But, if you are only needing it to use in carpet or area rugs then it’s great. My second complaint would be that it has a much smaller cleaning solution/water tank than I expected. I had to refill quite often. The dirty water tank and is a nice size but, still doesn’t hold very much at all. With those things being said, the compact design of this clean makes it very light weight and easy to use. So, all around it is a great deal.

Le Shark EX121BRN CarpetXpert est un excellent nettoyeur de tapis, facile à utiliser et à entretenir. Attention toutefois : il s'agit d'un modèle américain, conçu pour fonctionner en 120 V / 60 Hz. Il vous faudra donc un convertisseur 220 V vers 120 V d’une puissance d’au moins 1200 W (l’appareil consomme environ 900 W). Assurez-vous également que le convertisseur dispose d'une prise américaine, ou prévoyez l'utilisation d’un adaptateur.

it was a total disaster caused by the mains plug 🔌 not suitable for a uk plug socket went to an electrical shop and show them the picture of the plug. They gave me an adapter .it did not work .i have the hassle of disabling the machine and take to nearest drop off !!!!

Je ne pas encore pu essayer la machine car la prise de courant est apparemment une US non compatible avec nos prises de courant. Dommage que cela n'est pas signalé lors de l'achat en Belgique. Je vois avec un adaptateur.

DO NOT buy this carpet cleaner if you live in Europe. It is American with an American plug and with only 120 volts. - Europe is 220/240 volts. Its has 960 watts so most European transformers, inverters are for around 300 watts maximum unless you buy a very large one which costs anything up to about E900, and then it has to be able to accept the American plug. You would need a transformer to reduce the 220 volts down to 120 volts and is very expensive if you can find one. Having purchased this and spent about 6 hours trying to find a solution online it stated that if plugged into a European socket the machine could blow up or set on fire. It is only by accident that I looked at the side of the machine itself which is where I found this information. None of the above facts are stated on the European Amazon website. The cleaner itself is very well made and I would highly recommend if you live in America. If they made the same for Europe i.e. with a European plug and 220 volts I would definitely buy, but unfortunately I have had to return it for a full refund.
