Is the Shark CarpetXpert EX200UK worth it?

It suits homes with pets or high-traffic carpets that need regular deep cleaning. It is a premium upright model, so weigh the cost against the convenience of the pet tool and wet suction features.

How does it compare with the Shark StainStriker?

The CarpetXpert is a full-size upright with a 960W motor and 24.9 ft cord for whole-room carpet washing. The StainStriker is a smaller portable spot cleaner for stains and upholstery, not full carpets.

Shark rates it at 91 dB, which is loud enough that you will want to clean when others are out of the house.

How often do I empty the tank?

The dirty water tank holds 0.22 gal, so expect to empty it several times during a full-room clean.

What surfaces can it clean?

It is rated for carpets, rugs and fabric, including upholstery and car seats with the hose and pet tool.
