Shark's latest carpet cleaner has emerged as a top contender for removing pet stains, according to a hands-on review. The device, which targets deep-set dirt and odors, outperformed several competitors in a recent test involving common household pet messes.
Performance and Key Features
The Shark carpet cleaner uses a combination of brush roll agitation and powerful suction to lift stains from carpets. In tests, it removed 99% of set-in pet stains after two passes, based on the reviewer's observations. The machine also features a separate tank for clean and dirty water, preventing recontamination.
According to the review, the cleaner's lightweight design and easy maneuverability make it suitable for stairs and upholstery. The 8-ounce water tank capacity allows for continuous cleaning without frequent refills.
Comparison with Other Models
When compared to the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser, the Shark model showed better results on dried stains, the reviewer noted. However, the Bissell was more effective on fresh spills. The Shark also comes with a 5-year warranty, longer than the industry standard.
Price and Availability
The Shark carpet cleaner is priced at £149.99, making it a mid-range option. It is available at major retailers including Amazon, Argos, and Currys. The review concludes that it offers good value for pet owners seeking a reliable stain removal solution.
