The Shark EX201 CarpetXpert is an upright carpet and upholstery cleaner built around two systems: CarpetXpert, a high-speed brush roll with a high-pressure spray and strong suction for deep cleaning full carpets, and StainStriker, a handheld spot tool that mixes two formulas on contact to attack tough stains and odors. It targets pet messes, urine, smoke and set-in spots, and Shark claims fast dry times. It suits households with wall-to-wall carpet, stairs and upholstered furniture that want one machine for both whole-room cleaning and spot work. Against rivals like Bissell's upright and portable cleaners, its edge is the built-in handheld spot tool; the trade-off is a heavier upright body and dependence on Shark's dual formula. Owners rate it highly overall, praising stain and pet-odor removal, while some note weight and water pickup on thick carpet.

The Shark EX201 CarpetXpert is an upright deep carpet cleaner with a built-in handheld spot and stain remover. It cleans carpet, area rugs and upholstery. The handheld tool extends to clean stairs, upholstery and other isolated stains.
CarpetXpert technology combines a high-speed brush roll, PowerWash high-pressure spray and strong suction. The suction is meant to dry carpets quickly without oversoaking them. It is made to remove dirt, grime and odors, including pet messes, urine and smoke.
StainStriker technology uses two chemicals that mix and activate on contact in the handheld tool. This dual-activated formula uses the power of OXY to treat tough stains and odors.
