Vacuum Wars Stars 2.27
The Shark CarpetXpert EX121BRN is a corded upright cleaner for carpets and area rugs. Its CarpetXpert system combines a powered brushroll, high-pressure PowerSpray, and suction to scrub and extract dirt, while separate clean- and dirty-water tanks keep used water apart from fresh cleaning solution. In our studio evaluations, it earned a stain-test score of 87.2 and an overall Vacuum Wars score of 44.96. It weighs approximately 14.5 pounds and has a 20-foot power cord, a 10-inch cleaning path, and two cleaning modes. This model focuses on floor cleaning and does not include a hose or handheld spot-cleaning attachments. The supplied package includes a 12 oz. bottle of Deep Clean Essential formula and a storage tray; accessories may vary by retailer or package. See additional info
