Shark StainStriker HairPro Portable Carpet, Upholstery & Area Rug Cleaner with Pet Mess & Hair Tools, Self-Cleaning, Perfect for Pets & Car Interiors, 4 Cleaning Tools & Pet Solution, Copper, PX251

The best!
I used it to detail my car seats that got some really bad stains.Excellent suction power, quiet, convenient size and weight. I liked that you could focus on cleaning and don’t have to change the tanks often. It was so efficient that I advanced faster than expected. The different tools are also very helpful.The nozzle sprays evenly and you can control how much cleaner you need to use. It cleaned old stains that I had not been able to remove before. The tools fit in places that I didn’t expect and I was able to do more cleaning than expected. My car bad smell was neutralized and it smells fresh and clean. It is perfect! I don’t have a before picture of all my seats, but it did an excellent job removing stains and suctioning the cleaning solution. Totally worth it.

PX202BRN did not ship with the self-cleaning attachment to clean out the hose. PX251 is excellent.
::EDIT:: This review is for both the PX202 and the PX251 HairPro.PX202 — I initially bought the PX202BRN to replace an old Bissell that has started leaking from the clean water container (second tank I bought for it…I’ve had several Bissells and they all leak after a while). After looking at pretty much every review and Youtube video I could find, I picked this Shark PX202 because it had all of the features I wanted including a self-cleaning attachment for the hose. My old Bissell didn’t have any way to clean the hose and it was disgusting after several years of cleaning up pet messes.When I unpacked it I discovered that it was missing the self-cleaning attachment. I searched the reviews here and it’s a pretty common issue. Other reviews mentioned that Shark did not have the part available when they were contacted about it. Shark also doesn’t show this part on their website so it’s not even available to buy separately. I found this unusual because you can find parts for pretty much any Shark product all over the place. Parts for their carpet vacs in general seem to be hard to find though.It’s possible that Shark customer service can send this part out if you call them but I didn’t want to deal with the hassle so I ordered a PX251 HairPro instead.PX251 HairPro review — 5 stars for this one. It had all the accessories and attachments as advertised. Fortunately or unfortunately I got to try it out right away because my dog got a very upset stomach and woke us up at 1:30 a.m. when he had a pretty large accident on the carpet. I grudgingly work up, filled up both tanks and got to work. Everything worked great, first with the pet mess tool, then with the regular cleaning head. It picked everything up without any problems and was much easier to clean the dirty water tank and the cleaning heads than my old Bissell.The self cleaning system on the PX251 is very easy to use and doesn’t require the external attachment like the PX202 does. Just press the cleaning head or plain nozzle on the top part of the cleaning tank and it does its thing and flushes out the hose. Very well designed system.Very happy with the PX251. The only minor negatives are that the PX251 doesn’t come with a lot of cleaning solution and niether the PX202 or PX251 come with anything in which to store the extra attachments. A minor but noticeable oversight. In contrast, the PX202 comes with almost double the amount of cleaning solution than the PX251. You would think the more expensive top-of-the-line one would come with more solution. But that’s minor because I usually just make my own DIY solution. I’ll be buying more of the Oxy Multiplier though.Overall both are a good choice but be aware that the PX202 might not come with the cleaning attachment. If that is important to you like it is for me, the PX251 is the better choice.So, 5 stars for the PX251 but rated everything 4 stars overall because of the missing attachment on the PX202, the lack of any storage for the various cleaning attachments, and the miniscule amount of cleaning solution the PX251 comes with.I like Shark products and have several of them including a stick vac, a regular upright vac that is still working great after almost 15 years, a robot vac, now the PX251. Overall I think they make decent stuff for the money.

Buy this!
This is it! Having read and listened to reviews even on YouTube etc, I was able to discern which Carpet Upholstery & Area Rug Cleaner we would try. This met all of our “marks” if you will for what we were looking for. Good suction, power, light weight, and it cleans beautifully. Easy to put together, to use, and is so portable for our needs. We have, “had” light dirt build-up in a couple of areas, mind you, I watched dirtier stains/spots being cleaned with this machine & now I know that those videos or examples of how this machine cleans harder/deeper dirt & it actually does. You can see the removal dirty water etc as it is cleaning. Several attachments, no need for more & yes, I did view another Co’s products that are based in my town where I live, but they did not compare to this one. It doesn’t come with a storage bag, as I knew, so no worries, I simply ordered the bag (product info below) and this bag was spacious enough to hold my machine, so I’m set. Even though the bag states Bissell, THIS BAG holds my Shark StainStriker beautifully.Storage Case is: QWARVEL Storage Case for Bissell Carpet Cleaner Machine 3682/2458/3624/3860/Hoover Carpet Cleaner FH14050, Carry Bag. Portable Steam Cleaner Storage Bag Only.

I started using it to clean the sofa and the suction stopped working 5 mins in. I don’t know how to fix it or return it now, it’s money wasted. And they’re sending it to uae with a USA plug, that should be mentioned or sell it only in the us.

Amazing device, cleaned my sofa and it looks like new now, removed all old stains from it.Highly recommended!
