Shark StainStriker Portable Cleaner w/ 4 Tools Only $99.99 Shipped on Amazon (Reg. $150)

I didn’t think I could love a little cleaning appliance more than my Bissell Little Green, but I gave this Shark portable cleaner a try and it’s got me thinking twice! Both perform SO well and I truly believe they’re a must for every household, but here are the main differences:

• Shark’s suction is stronger than the Bissell
• Shark’s bristles are firmer than the Bissell, but I didn’t love that since they were too harsh on my couch fabric. That said, you can flip the brush head to a softer silicone brush side which I loved!
• Shark’s main brush head is a crevice tool which was so handy.
• The size of the Shark cleaner is a little smaller than the Bissell.
• Shark’s package comes with more brush head options, including the Pet tool, which is normally around $40 to buy the similar Bissell Stain Trapper tool separately from the main Little Green appliance package.
• The cord of the Shark cleaner is shorter than the Bissell (I had to get an extension cord when cleaning my car).
• Shark’s formula comes in two separate bottles and is a little more expensive than Bissell’s.

Her overall take: Both are great, but the Shark is more powerful, smaller, and comes with more tools. The pricier solution is the only downside. She still highly recommends it.

“I was shocked by how well this worked. I put it to the test on a stain that was at least 4 years old on our old nasty carpet. I went over the stain a few times and could not believe how much of the stain was removed. The setup of the Strain Striker was easy and I loved that I didn’t have to buy anything else before I got started fighting those stains!
