These two small Shark cleaning machines are similar.
Though the Shark called the EveryMess a 3-in-1 machine – Wet & Dry Vac and Stain Remover, it is more like a wet dry vacuum just like the MessMaster, it does not have dual tanks but only a dust cup for collecting wet/dry messes.
The main difference between the MessMaster and the EveryMess is the Stain Eliminator tool on the EveryMess is designed to clean both wet and dry stains, it has two sides, one with bristles to deep clean and agitate stains, and one with hair gripping fins to remove hair from delicate and hairy surfaces without tangling issues, whereas the MessMaster does not include this tool, certain MessMaster models, such as the VS101 and VS105, come with a carpet tool which is used for removing embedded dry dirt and debris from carpet and upholstery;
the EveryMess comes with a spray head and cleaning solution to help remove stains from carpet and upholstery whereas the MessMaster does not include;
certain MessMaster models,such as the VS101 and UV105, come with a 3-piece extension wand to help clean low and high areas while the EveryMess does not include.

Both of them have a dust bin to hold 1-gallon dry debris or 1/2-gallons wet messes;
you can also use any 2-13 gallon bag if you want;
self cleaning system allows you to vacuum up a cup of water and the machine automatically rinse its hose, lid and dust bin.
If you need a wet dry vacuum that can also remove stains, then the EveryMess may meet your needs. If you are looking for a traditional spot cleaner, maybe these two do not fit your needs.
