What a great tool for my carpet. I can really see the difference between before & after. The powerful suction really helped removing a lot of water. Easy to use and manoeuver. Would highly recommend.

Bought to replace a Vax Platinum Power Max which had done many years service but had needed quite a few spare parts. Some reviews of the Shark comment on it being heavy and noisy - it is lighter and quieter (and smaller) than the Vax. I felt that the carpet cleaning performance between the two was very similar but the Shark was superior with the upholstery attachment. I liked the head having reversible bristles and felt that they made a difference to the cleaning performance. Really liked that the upholstery head and hose are permanently attached to the machine, so much easier switching between the two compared to the Vax. I also liked that you add the detergent to the clean water tank (measured against lines on the tank) compared to Vax which has separate reservoirs, as I always thought the Vax was taking too much detergent. Although the carpet cleaning head is a bit narrower, I didn't notice it taking any longer to clean. I thought the Shark extracted more water and therefore the drying time was quicker both on carpet and even more so on upholstery. Removing the brushes for cleaning on the Vax required a screwdriver and a large amount of patience, on the Shark no tools required and removed in seconds. The one negative with the Shark was the fact that the dirty water tank required emptying before the clean water was finished so you had to stop part way through. If it was larger you would have been able to service both tanks together so maybe 4.5* for an overall rating. Possible improvements if Shark are listening:- 1) a second set of filling lines half way up the clean water tank so you could do a smaller clean, and 2) a retractable power lead.

Better than expected, isn’t as loud as I predicted and very light even when full and works amazing and solution lasts a long time cleans and drys carpets brilliant too.

I love shark products and this is no exception. Easy to use and leaves my carpet fresh and clean and not soaking wet because of the great suction.I really like the way it comes apart so that you can clean it out after use especially the around the brushes so no mucky residue when you next use it again. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Brilliant carpet cleaner. Easy to set up and use. Drying time amazing. Cannot fault at all. A vast improvement on carpet cleaners I’ve used in the past. Shark as always do what it says on the tin.

Absolutely brilliant. Can highly recommend, it has brought my carpets up lovely and clean and fresh smelling It is so easy to use. The only downside is the number of times I needed to refill the shampoo and empty the very dirty water but that may be due to the size of my living room lol.
