The Hidden Gunk: Why a Self-Cleaning Feature Isn't a Luxury, It's a Necessity

Update on Oct. 25, 2025, 5:17 p.m.

After a satisfying session of deep cleaning, you empty the filthy water tank, rinse it out, and put your machine away. But what about the parts you can’t see? The long, dark, internal hoses, the nooks and crannies inside the brush head, the path the dirty water traveled—they are all still coated in a film of grime and, more importantly, they are damp.

This hidden, damp environment is a paradise for mold, mildew, and bacteria. If left unchecked, your trusty cleaning machine can transform into a mobile swamp, breeding foul odors and potentially spreading contaminants the next time you use it.

 Shark CarpetXpert HairPro

The Anatomy of a Dirty Machine

A carpet cleaner’s job is to suck up a slurry of dirt, pet hair, food particles, and microbes. Not all of this debris makes it cleanly into the tank. * Hoses: Hair and fibers can get caught in the corrugated ridges of internal and external hoses. * Brush Head: The housing around the brushroll is a complex space with gears and tight corners where a paste of dirt and hair can accumulate. * Nozzles: The spray nozzles can get clogged, and the suction channel can retain a layer of grime.

When the machine is stored, the moisture trapped in this gunk allows microorganisms to flourish. The first sign is often a musty, sour smell when you next turn the machine on. The worst-case scenario is that you are essentially spraying a fine mist of mold spores and bacteria back onto your “clean” carpets, a phenomenon known as cross-contamination.

The Old Way: Manual Deep Cleaning

For years, the only solution was a tedious manual teardown. This involved detaching the hose and flushing it in the bathtub, removing the nozzle plate and scrubbing it with a brush, and taking apart the brush head to meticulously pick out clumps of wet, smelly hair. It’s a dirty job that, realistically, most people don’t do after every single use.

The consequence is a gradual decline in the machine’s performance and hygiene. Clogs reduce suction, and the growing biofilm creates permanent odors that are impossible to eliminate.

The Modern Solution: The On-Board Self-Cleaning Cycle

Recognizing this critical maintenance flaw, engineers began designing a brilliant solution: on-board self-cleaning features. This innovation, seen on models like the Shark CarpetXpert EX301, transforms machine maintenance from a 20-minute chore into a 30-second automated process.

The mechanism is simple but effective. After you’re done cleaning your carpets, you place the end of the hose or the entire machine onto a specially designed port, often integrated into the storage tray. With the press of a button, the machine automatically performs a cleaning cycle.

It sucks up a small amount of clean water and cleaning solution from the tank and cycles it at high velocity through the entire internal system—from the hose, through the brush head, and back into the dirty water tank. This powerful flush dislodges trapped hair, rinses away dirt residue, and sanitizes the internal pathways.

 Shark CarpetXpert HairPro

Why This Feature is a Game-Changer

A self-cleaning function is not a gimmick. It is a fundamental feature that ensures the long-term health and performance of your machine. * Hygiene: It prevents the growth of mold and bacteria, ensuring you’re always cleaning with a clean tool. * Odor Prevention: It eliminates the source of musty machine smells. * Performance: It keeps hoses and suction paths clear, maintaining maximum cleaning power over the life of the machine. * Longevity: By regularly flushing out corrosive grime, it can extend the life of internal components.

When choosing a carpet cleaner, it’s easy to get focused on power and accessories. But the feature that determines whether you’ll still love using that machine a year from now might just be the simple button that cleans the cleaner itself. It’s the difference between a long-lasting cleaning partner and a science experiment hiding in your closet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little cleaning beast!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2025
Style: CarpetXpertVerified Purchase
This light-weight carpet shampooer does a great job cleaning area rugs. It cleans like a champ, it’s easy to maneuver, the tanks are easily removed and reattached, the cleaning head effortlessly disassembles for cleanup. It’s light and small enough to carry in one handed upstairs and isn’t a struggle to use.
We have hardwood floors with three Persian-style rugs (knock-offs made in Belgium) that were last cleaned by our ancient Bissel shampooer. The little Shark picked up loads of old dirt and left the rugs looking bright and new. It also efficiently removed moisture from the rugs after shampooing, which reduced drying time (over night for us).
The downside - This shampooer is NOT for vast, wall-to-wall cleaning. The tanks for cleaning solution and waste water are not large enought for big jobs. BUT, if you don’t mind emptying and refilling the tanks frequently, this shampooer is a great deal. It also doesn’t have any upholstry cleaning attachments.
Note - use ‘Shark cleaning concentrate’ in the machine. I tried our old shampooer’s cleaning solution and created a storm of soap bubbles. The Shark concentrate is formulated specially for their machine....it comes with a small sample bottle.
If your home has pets, messy children, or sloppy old men in the house (like me), this shampooer is perfect for spot cleaning. It also might work best for condo owners, apartment renters, or on area rugs like ours.
I’m generally very happy with the Shark shampooer and recommend it with the limitations noted above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, terrible service
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025
Style: CarpetXpert HairPro w/StainStrikerVerified Purchase
This is a great product, really. It feels like a quality build without being excessivly heavy or complicated. It simply works, and it works rather well! However the purchasing process was a pain, resulting me me losing a lot of trust in Shark/Ninja as a whole, and I was sort of invested in their environment.

Pros:
No need to manually spray when not using the hose, the action of pushing and pulling automatically sprays and vacuums it up.
Uses a soap and an oxy clean product, in separate containers ad used at different rates. Mix the soap with the water (or dont if you are rinsing), but put the oxy container in it’s own slot.
Uses minimal amount of water (seriously, very small tank and it doesn’t last long, but you get a lot more clean than you would think and the waste water is straight up NASTY)
There are not a plethora of functions. At first this seems like a bad oversight, but really it greatly simplifies the process. You have Deep Clean (which could simply be called clean, but you know…marketing) and Dry. The Dry function uses no water and is GREAT to remove more water from the carpet for faster drying.
The low water requirement and Dry option can reduce carpet dry time drastically, mine was only damp for a few hours.
There are multiple latches, doors, and traps to catch the pet hair. These are surprisingly effective, and very well designed with the user in mind. With the push of a latch you can remove the front of the vacuum head, then flip open the spray nozzles tray and remove the brush. This leaves the entire brush head open for a wipe down and/or rinse, and the brush itself can be easily removed and cleaned. Then there is a trap that you can remove at the hinge joint of the brush head that directs the vacuum force from the head to the hose, this comes out and you can easily remove trapped hair and replace it with minimal effort. Then in the tank there is another trap for hair to build up on. It sounds like a lot but it is so easily managed that you will be happier at the longer lasting product as a result.
The choice of hose attachments is very helpful, with one of them designed for pet hair capturing the hair at the attachment in a tray. Like the rest of the device each attachment can be broken down easily and cleaned.
There is a clear label with barcode to order more of the cleaning supplies with a scan of your phone. After the warranty period you may decide to use your own, but their soaps work pretty decently.
*There is a storage tray to prevent drips from ruining your floor when not in use.

Cons:
Larger device, but this is expected. It is only larger than I like b/c we have limited living space. So this may not be a con to you.
The right side of the cleaning head has about 3 1/2 inches of non-cleaning space that is needed for the gearing. In most places simply turn around and use the other side. But for compact areas this can be a problem as the right 3 - 4 inches will not get cleaned.

Experience:
This is where I had a very bad time. I tried to order from their website. Loved the deal that they offered. Heck, I was even getting a steam mop and extra cleaning soaps for free! This on top of a sale. So I created an online account, verified the email address, and made a purchase.
*Problem 1: They do not ship to PO boxes. This is normal, actually, so I put an alternate address so that I could receive the item.

So I placed my order, and they took their money immediately. I was excited. Then I received an email stating that my order was cancelled. I called them 4 times before I was finally connected to someone so that I could learn WHY it was cancelled (the email did not provide a reason).
Problem 2: Apparently the system will not allow a PO box to be used even as a billing address. This is my legal address as mail cannot be sent to the physical location.
Problem 3: I use an obfuscated email. It works, and I verified my email (see above), but my REAL email address remains private. This is to reduce my online footprint and help prevent ID theft by being able to shut down problem addresses that have gotten sold. However Shark refused to accept this email, even though I was allowed to create an account with it, and proved that I can receive emails sent to the address provided. When I asked why this occured they used a bunch of corporate speak which amounted to: “We also make money by selling your information” which is exactly why I obfuscate my email.
*Problem 4: Since I would not provide my actual email address, only one that works properly, I was informed that I may not get a refund. So they took almost $400, cancelled my order, and threatened not to return the money b/c I provided an email that functioned, verified that it functioned, and told them that I did not want my information sold. I wanted to BUY a product, I do not want to BE their product. However, three weeks later the charge did drop.

So I looked for this on Amazon.com and I found it for about the same price as their model without all the extras that were included on their website. I make a purchase and discover that they will actually ship to my PO Box! .
Problem 5: I received the unit without the hose, which is required for the system to work (even when not in use it plugs the hole so that the suction works).

I contact Shark, they require me to register the warranty before they replace the part. It gets registered to the same, obfuscated email that I used previously when they cancelled my order. It is accepted, and I receive my part 2 weeks later. So now I have to wonder, why all the fuss when I order directly from Shark (giving them a higher profit margin) but not a single complaint or comment when I need to use it for the warranty?

In sumary: I still love the Shark/Ninja products, but now I will never buy from them directly as the scheme that they have is manipulative and misleading. I never wanted to be an additional income to them by letting them sell my information, but they would not let me complete an order until I did. Shady!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great clean, Tiny tank
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2025
Style: CarpetXpert HairPro w/StainStrikerVerified Purchase
This carpet cleaner does the best job cleaning the carpet of any home carpet I have ever had. I have owned both Bissle and Hoover cleaners previously. I loved the stain striker feature and it did get some pet spots out of my carpet that I did not think would come out. The units suction is beyond compare. Also the dry only feature is great and my carpets did dry more quickly than they normally would. I have two long haired dogs and despite vacuuming before using the cleaner previously there would be clumps of wet dog fur left on the carpet for me to pick up as I cleaned. This cleaner does not do that and the wet fur is caught in the filter in the dirty water tank which is very nice.

For me there are a couple of issues with the machine. First, the cleaner is placed directly into the water tank so it is dispersed onto the carpet but that means that you put cleaner onto the carpet and the soap residue stays in there and, as we all know, soap attracts dirt leading to have to clean the carpet more frequently. I ended up dividing my rooms into sections. First I cleaned with the soap in the water, then I rinsed the carpet using a tank of water only, and then I dried the carpet unsung the dry only cycle.

The second issue with the Shark cleaner is that the tanks for both the clean and dirty water are TINY. I cleaner the carpets in the office, the master bedroom which is a good size, and our walk in closet. Our off ice is a normal dized room. With our previous cleaners I would have to fill the water tank once and dump the dirty water once also. While using the cleaner in the tank I had to fill and dump 5 times. I ever had to fill and dump in my closet. I lost track in the master bedroom. Sometimes if felt that all I was doing was filling and dumping the tanks. I know it would make the machine heavier to have bigger tanks but I’d rather have a heavier machine that let me clean for a longer time. I felt as if I was constantly starting and stopping.

Even with the tank size issues I’m happy with my Shark carpet cleaner. It does a fantastic job of cleaning the carpets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shark EX121BRN CarpetXpert est un excellent nettoyeur de tapis
Reviewed in France on May 15, 2025
Style: CarpetXpertVerified Purchase
Le Shark EX121BRN CarpetXpert est un excellent nettoyeur de tapis, facile à utiliser et à entretenir. Attention toutefois : il s’agit d’un modèle américain, conçu pour fonctionner en 120 V / 60 Hz. Il vous faudra donc un convertisseur 220 V vers 120 V d’une puissance d’au moins 1200 W (l’appareil consomme environ 900 W). Assurez-vous également que le convertisseur dispose d’une prise américaine, ou prévoyez l’utilisation d’un adaptateur.

Je ne pas encore pu essayer la machine car la prise de courant est apparemment une US non compatible avec nos prises de courant. Dommage que cela n’est pas signalé lors de l’achat en Belgique. Je vois avec un adaptateur.

3.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU LIVE IN EUROPE DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Reviewed in Spain on May 15, 2025
Style: CarpetXpertVerified Purchase
DO NOT buy this carpet cleaner if you live in Europe.
It is American with an American plug and with only 120 volts. - Europe is 220/240 volts. Its has 960 watts so most European transformers, inverters are for around 300 watts maximum unless you buy a very large one which costs anything up to about E900, and then it has to be able to accept the American plug. You would need a transformer to reduce the 220 volts down to 120 volts and is very expensive if you can find one. Having purchased this and spent about 6 hours trying to find a solution online it stated that if plugged into a European socket the machine could blow up or set on fire. It is only by accident that I looked at the side of the machine itself which is where I found this information.
None of the above facts are stated on the European Amazon website.
The cleaner itself is very well made and I would highly recommend if you live in America. If they made the same for Europe i.e. with a European plug and 220 volts I would definitely buy, but unfortunately I have had to return it for a full refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2025
Style: CarpetXpert / Spot & StainVerified Purchase
Switched it on and it blew my electrics. No where in the write up or box, does it mention needing a special plug socket, see pic for plug. It’s only when you read the ‘ important safety instructions, that it tells you about the plug. No 36 - 38. It does say do not use an adapter! I did, before reading safety instructions, no harm to the machine, just my fuse board. Sending back, not fit for purpose

It feels like a quality build without being excessivly heavy or complicated. It simply works, and it works rather well! However the purchasing process was a pain, resulting me me losing a lot of trust in Shark/Ninja as a whole, and I was sort of invested in their environment. Pros: *No need to manually spray when not using the hose, the action of pushing and pulling automatically sprays and vacuums it up. *Uses a soap and an oxy clean product, in separate containers ad used at different rates. Mix the soap with the water (or dont if you are rinsing), but put the oxy container in it’s own slot. *Uses minimal amount of water (seriously, very small tank and it doesn’t last long, but you get a lot more clean than you would think and the waste water is straight up NASTY) *There are not a plethora of functions. At first this seems like a bad oversight, but really it greatly simplifies the process. You have Deep Clean (which could simply be called clean, but you know…marketing) and Dry. The Dry function uses no water and is GREAT to remove more water from the carpet for faster drying. *The low water requirement and Dry option can reduce carpet dry time drastically, mine was only damp for a few hours. *There are multiple latches, doors, and traps to catch the pet hair. These are surprisingly effective, and very well designed with the user in mind. With the push of a latch you can remove the front of the vacuum head, then flip open the spray nozzles tray and remove the brush. This leaves the entire brush head open for a wipe down and/or rinse, and the brush itself can be easily removed and cleaned. Then there is a trap that you can remove at the hinge joint of the brush head that directs the vacuum force from the head to the hose, this comes out and you can easily remove trapped hair and replace it with minimal effort. Then in the tank there is another trap for hair to build up on. It sounds like a lot but it is so easily managed that you will be happier at the longer lasting product as a result. *The choice of hose attachments is very helpful, with one of them designed for pet hair capturing the hair at the attachment in a tray. Like the rest of the device each attachment can be broken down easily and cleaned. *There is a clear label with barcode to order more of the cleaning supplies with a scan of your phone. After the warranty period you may decide to use your own, but their soaps work pretty decently. *There is a storage tray to prevent drips from ruining your floor when not in use. Cons: *Larger device, but this is expected. It is only larger than I like b/c we have limited living space. So this may not be a con to you. *The right side of the cleaning head has about 3 1/2 inches of non-cleaning space that is needed for the gearing. In most places simply turn around and use the other side. But for compact areas this can be a problem as the right 3 – 4 inches will not get cleaned. Experience: This is where I had a very bad time. I tried to order from their website. Loved the deal that they offered. Heck, I was even getting a steam mop and extra cleaning soaps for free! This on top of a sale. So I created an online account, verified the email address, and made a purchase. *Problem 1: They do not ship to PO boxes. This is normal, actually, so I put an alternate address so that I could receive the item. So I placed my order, and they took their money immediately. I was excited. Then I received an email stating that my order was cancelled. I called them 4 times before I was finally connected to someone so that I could learn WHY it was cancelled (the email did not provide a reason). *Problem 2: Apparently the system will not allow a PO box to be used even as a billing address. This is my legal address as mail cannot be sent to the physical location. *Problem 3: I use an obfuscated email. It works, and I verified my email (see above), but my REAL email address remains private. This is to reduce my online footprint and help prevent ID theft by being able to shut down problem addresses that have gotten sold. However Shark refused to accept this email, even though I was allowed to create an account with it, and proved that I can receive emails sent to the address provided. When I asked why this occured they used a bunch of corporate speak which amounted to: “We also make money by selling your information” which is exactly why I obfuscate my email. *Problem 4: Since I would not provide my actual email address, only one that works properly, I was informed that I may not get a refund. So they took almost $400, cancelled my order, and threatened not to return the money b/c I provided an email that functioned, verified that it functioned, and told them that I did not want my information sold. I wanted to BUY a product, I do not want to BE their product. However, three weeks later the charge did drop. So I looked for this on sharkrobotvacuum.com.com and I found it for about the same price as their model without all the extras that were included on their website. I make a purchase and discover that they will actually ship to my PO Box! . Problem 5: I received the unit without the hose, which is required for the system to work (even when not in use it plugs the hole so that the suction works). I contact Shark, they require me to register the warranty before they replace the part. It gets registered to the same, obfuscated email that I used previously when they cancelled my order. It is accepted, and I receive my part 2 weeks later. So now I have to wonder, why all the fuss when I order directly from Shark (giving them a higher profit margin) but not a single complaint or comment when I need to use it for the warranty? In sumary: I still love the Shark/Ninja products, but now I will never buy from them directly as the scheme that they have is manipulative and misleading.
