That’s impressive, I see so many mixed reviews on Shark machines, however, what this has cleaned up I’m pretty sure my Karcher FC5 would have struggled to get that amount of test dirt up , the Karcher cleans well, but I always dry vac my hard floors before using Karcher, good video as always Roger 👍🏼 cute dog 🐕 watching you near end.

The Karcher would not cope with the sort of debris the Shark or Bissell Crosswave can pick up. I sold my Karcher ages ago as I didn’t like it and found it ridiculous that it couldn’t stand up on its own.

Can it handle thicker carpets? Not a shag carpet but greater than an area rug.

Thanks for sharing. I wondered how you found the water function. I have had to send a unit back for replacement. It puts down a lot of water (compared to pushing the unit forward) and takes up all the water when moving forward. The result was having to navigate weirdly, using an unnatural arm movement, to pick the water, which still resulted in streaks. It's hard to get an answer if it dumps water when you pull it back and collects it when you push it forward (like traditional carpet cleaners used to/do). What has been your experience @ibaisaic?

Great reviews! This looks similar to the Bissel crosswave. But they have not fixed my main problem with the bissel crosswave: Very small water/cleaner tanks. Gosh this looks even smaller... What is that a 2 cup / 500ml tank? PITA always emptying and refilling the tanks on my all hard-surface house. Tests I would like to see: Take a white cloth and rub it across the floor when you are done. Even though the water cleaned up comes out super dirty like you are showing with the shark my bissel crosswave often leaves a residue behind. Or After cleaning once empty both tanks and run the cleaner over the floor again. Does the water picked up come up clean or is it still dirty? Thanks for all the great content!

Thank a lot! I love Shark products. Is it better than Bissel crosswave? My Tineco is broken My Tineco is broken. I don’t want to buy non-durable products anymore, and I want efficiency.

My 2 year old absolutely loves watching your videos! Any chance of doing a review on a titan wet and dry please?

Roger can you do a demo with what its like on tiles. I got a bissell crosswave and yes brilliant machine but it just didnt clean the grout, i was still having to clean it by scrubbing, i have always thought if the brushbar bristles were just that bit longer it migjt get to the grout so would be interested how the shark copes with grouting 😊

@ibaisaic

10 ай бұрын

It won’t clean grout, no floor washer with a roller that I’ve use will. You need to get your grout clean with manual scrubbing and use a floor washer to maintain it. The only machine I’ve used that may be able to clean grout is a Hoover Shampoo polisher with scrubbing brushes and scouring pads.

Yes, keeping grout clean is a bloody nightmare. All floor cleaners/mops seem to simply push any residual dirt into the grout channels. I've been trying to deep clean my father's tiled kitchen floor and I've loathed every minute of it. The Rug Doctor hard floor mop is _OK,_ but after years of Dad's 'cleaner' apparently rearranging the dirt in his house, the kitchen grout needs serious attention. I resorted to using my Dupray Neat steam cleaner on the grout and with countless passes and muchos scrubbing, it's starting to come properly clean. As Roger said, it's a manual job to get it initially clean, and then an electric floor cleaner can maintain the floor subsequently. GL!

Shark has a new carpet extractor here in the US called the CarpetExpert. There are 2 models. I'm going to buy the advanced model. I'm curious what your opinion will be when they hit the UK

@ibaisaic

10 ай бұрын

It is perfectly normal that the base will get wet as the underside of the machine will be wet after use. Most of the floor washers I’ve tested come with a storage tray to prevent the floor getting wet while the machine is not being used. Mine does leave odd drops of water in use, but they soon dry. If your not happy with it you have up to 60 days to return, but I would use it for a bit longer before deciding.

It is a subtle flowery smell, nothing overpowering. It did everything in the video without the need to charge and there was plenty of charge left in the battery.

Shark warranties are as good as dirt. They will fight you for returning it and claim you broke it, and then if and when they accept the warranty repair, YOU have to pay return shipping ($80-$120) and then you do not get your vacuum repaired, you get whatever refurbished model they have in the warehouse to send you, and that's all you get. There is absolutely zero point buying warranties anymore, period, because they are never honored and companies do not repair anything. That stopped well over 30 years ago. The warranty is just more money to make the corporation richer for absolutely nothing. I fix my own stuff anyway so I have no use for a warranty. @@steve45678

There is no faffing about with this cleaner when used on a regular basis and not on a big mess like the one I showed in the video.

If I came to wash your floors with this after your mop and bucket you may change your mind.

IBAISAIC, (in your opinion) which one is better: SHARK or DYSON. I get very confused which one is better. I have a feeling Shark is better but the reason why i'm asking this question is because Shark's kitchen product company, NINJA makes pretty disappointing blenders which is very surprising because in their usa adverts they are comparing themselves to the legendary VITAMIX which is actually made in America and has second to none build quality and performance as opposed to Ninja (which according to many people) can't grinds things like leafy greens or seeds very well because of their dangerous stacked blades as opposed to vitamix's hardened laser cut blades that deliver results that are very professional. Shark also do usa ads comparing themselves to dyson. So really want to know if Shark is really better than dyson for a fraction of the cost or is it simply false advertisement just like the Ninja blenders. PLEASE Roger give me what you think.
