Shark StainStriker cleaner on major sale; reviewers call it a 'life saver' for set-in stains
Dual-tank, two-solution system and lightweight design drive strong reviews as discounts push price below $100
A popular stain-removing tool is drawing renewed attention as a sale pushes the Shark StainStriker portable carpet and upholstery cleaner toward the sub-$100 range at major retailers.
Shoppers are finding deals that bring the Shark StainStriker to price points not far from everyday cleaning tools, with the device described by multiple reviewers as a strong alternative to the Bissell Little Green. HuffPost notes that the product has earned enthusiastic praise for suction power, a design that’s easy to clean, and effective stain removal on a variety of messes, including set-in stains and pet-related messes. In user conversations and reviews, the StainStriker has been described as a “life saver” for households with pets or kids and for tackling stubborn stains on furniture, cars, and carpets.
The StainStriker uses a dual-tank design and ships with two cleaning formulas intended to dilute, clean and lift stains with water and suction. A 6-ounce bottle of Shark’s Deep Clean Pro Formula and 12 ounces of an OXY Multiplier Formula accompany the unit. When loaded, the machine mixes the solutions and targets stains directly. Its system also separates dirty water from clean, so users can dump only the dirty tank when finished, reducing the mess that can come with cleanup.
In addition to stain removal, the device doubles as a vacuum for debris and scraps. It includes an integrated crevice tool and a 3.5-inch reversible bristle tool for added abrasion when needed. At under 8 pounds, the unit is described as portable enough for vehicle use and for quick cleanups around the home.
Of the qualitative feedback, one reviewer said, "Love this thing! I have an elderly dog who can’t quite make it through a full work day anymore and has accidents frequently. I was sick of wasting all the paper towels soaking up the mess. I got this and I love it! I can vacuum up the mess, treat the stain, vacuum up the stain cleaner and it’s all done. It was perfect for what I needed and if treated quickly cleans up the stain COMPLETELY!" This sentiment mirrors broader praise for handling both wet messes and dry, set-in grime.
Others highlighted how quickly and effectively the device works on marker stains and other tough blemishes. HuffPost Head of Life and Commerce, Kristen Aiken, cited a video showing the StainStriker erasing marker from a white couch as a deciding moment for some shoppers. Reviewers also described how the dual-solution system and suction work in concert: you spray, the brush agitates the stain, and strong suction lifts the mess away, leaving the area damp but not soaked and drying faster than expected.
Beyond pet messes, users report success on years of buildup in cars, couches, stairs and carpets. Some reviews compare the StainStriker favorably to the Bissell Little Green, noting easier operation, better cleaning power, and a setup that makes quick work of stubborn stains. The consensus from the shopping and review communities is that the Shark unit performs strongly across wet spills, dry messes and set-in stains, with many customers reporting noticeable improvements after one or two uses.
Deal trackers and shopping editors note that products labeled as Best Finds often carry strong ratings and meaningful discounts. The Shark StainStriker is typically shown with four-star or higher reviews and discounts that meet or exceed 15%, according to the site’s standards for highlighting sale-worthy items. The current push to under $100 amplifies that appeal for households juggling pets, kids, and busy schedules. As with any limited-time sale, potential buyers should act quickly, as availability and price can change rapidly.

Some shoppers and deal-watchers describe the StainStriker as a practical, tech-forward cleaning solution that combines vacuuming and stain treatment in a compact form. While questions about long-term durability or performance in extremely large homes remain, the current sale and breadth of positive anecdotes have helped push the product into the spotlight for families seeking faster, more efficient stain management.
If the deal lasts, the StainStriker could be a compelling option for households dealing with everyday messes as well as older stains that have resisted other cleaners. Reviewers emphasize its portability, two-solution approach, and ease of use as factors that help it stand out in a crowded market for portable carpet and upholstery cleaners.
