Purchased Ninja Foodi in July 2024.Upon first use, smoked up house setting off smoke alarm! Upon opening, the steel cover over the heating element was on the food. Once I cooled it down, it refused to lock in place protecting the heating element. I emailed the company and was totally ignored with the exception of once informing me how to correct issues. Didn't work! I've been requesting refund ever since! Spoke with customer service and was told it was beyond return deadline. It was their ignoring me that caused the delay. I deserve a refund! Have never successfully utilized the product! I shouldn't have to pay for a none working product!Business Response

Our vacuum is under warranty and shark said they have to replace the entire unit. But they are trying to replace it with a cheaper model that is not comparable in power, less features and attachments. It also has less than desirable reviews than the one being replaced. It has the lowest reviews on their website. I would like a replacement that is comparable to my Shark Apex AZ1000.They also expect me to go 2 weeks without a vacuum when I have an asthmatic child and I have to vacuum daily per his pulmonologist. The current vacuum works, it just no longer locks upright and has repeatedly fell. One time hitting my son who was crawling on the floor. I need this situation handled as soon as possible.Business Response

I am not accepting this response as it does not provide me with the model # or information of the vacuum they are replacing my current vacuum with. Again, I want a vacuum with the same specifications and features as the one being replaced. The one thats being offered has almost 1/2 the power. A stratos or the detect series are the ones that are comparable now.

I have been waiting for bestbuy to have the slushi in stock, while on my phone searching ****** I followed a link directly to the product page ***************************************************************************************************************************** Link to an archived page in case the page has been modified since.********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* the page clearly states below the product inside a gray box. "New subscribers save 10% when you sign up for email" with no other terms or asterisks listed.The free shipping "box" and warranty "Box" to the left of it have links that give more information, the 10% discount text area does not.The next day I saw that despite signing up for email my discount was not applied. When I called customer service I was told that that discount does not apply to this product and did not escalate a ticket regarding my concerns.I have downloaded copies of the page and the archive page, that I can't attach as well as a screen recording.The deals and exclusions page also makes no mention of this. Although because there is no read more that 10% off offer is to be taken/given at face value.Business Response

Good Afternoon,
Apologies for the experience. Our Slushi is excluded from the 10% off however since this was not clear in the communications that you provided, we have processed the 10% refund back to the method of payment used to place the order.

BBB Form letter formalities aside. I do greatly appreciate your prompt response and refund.
I however, unfortunately, still do not see any updates to the site and/or the following link "*Details and Exclusions" @ **************************************************************** That has been updated to include details and exclusions for this marketing campaign that may have been inadvertently missed.The purpose of the "*Details and Exclusions" page/link is clearly meant to display things like this, that is its sole purpose.
I believe this is a massive offer/marketing campaign you are running considering I saw the same offer repeated on every product page that I checked, albeit in the same misleading manner.
As such the sitewide inclusion of an asterisk on any product containing the section reading:
New subscribers save 10% when you sign up for email
E.G. :
New subscribers save 10% when you sign up for email*
Also as it seems that I personally did not go through this intended process. If the offer is a discount that the customer is supposed to get on their next purchase, then it should be worded in a way that cannot easily mislead customers into thinking that said offer applies to their current purchase "when you sign up for email"E.G.:
"New subscribers save 10% off your next purchase when you sign up for email*"I do not regret a single ninja purchase I've ever made, I love my vacuum, blender, vacuum and now slushi. And again I appreciate the prompt reply. BUT I CANNOT consider this resolved until these consumer protection changes have been made.
Not everyone is willing to file a BBB complaint on principle, and I truly hope and doubt that shark/ninja is intentionally misleading it's customers.
In the long term with these fixes you will make more from brand loyalty from those people who trust your products, versus any new customer who starts off with a sour taste in their mouth and are put off from firther purchasing your products in the future.
I personally don't believe in brand loyalty but I do believe in quality and that's why there's a good reason I keep buying shark/ninja! It's also why I have recommend their products to most of my friends and family. Sadly if this had been my first experience with shark/ninja I likely would have sworn off the brand permanently.
I hope I see these changes soon so that I can mark this as resolved.
Thank you,
******

I have a Shark Navigator Liftaway XL Upright Vacuum Cleaner that was purchased at ******* on `12-19-2023 and is still under Warranty. The vacuum cleaner does not **** well and is not working properly. The cord got stuck in a small crevice in the unit and it is now damaged with the black portion damaged and no longer safe to use.Shark has a "troubleshooting" mandate which requires authorization to film and a link is then sent by the customer service agent. This is very uncomfortable as it views not only the unit but the home where the unit is. I complied and the agent kept making excuses on "steps" to follow for "troubleshooting" which was a stalling tactic. I contacted customer service and they stated that I could resolve the matter over the phone which I attempted today, and encountered more of the same mandates, excuses, and arguments not to honor the warranty. The agents will not honor a simple valid warranty and are advancing feigned excuses to not replace the unit. This laborious process can run the clock out and ******* is equally responsible as they are the third party vendor.Business Response

Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.The vacuum is not working properly and is under valid warranty. The Shark Navigator Lift Away was purchased at ******* who ships and sells the vacuum and they were notified that the vendor is not honoring the warranty.
******* has opened its own complaint case against Shark Ninja. The vacuum needs to be replaced and I can bring the defective unit back to ******* and pick up the new vacuum. The vacuum is currently in stock and available at ********
I am not requesting further contact by Shark Ninja agents seeking to stall and hinder the replacement of the unit with endless mandates that are excuses to not honor the warranty. I already contacted 2 agents who demanded that I allow intrusive camera filming of the unit which is standing in a room. The agent demanded that I empty the cup, the cup is empty, that I plug in the unit and unplug the unit, etc. with staged efforts to "get the vacuum up and running."
The warranty needs to be honored by law and there were no written mandates that one had to follow bizarre and erratic steps to "get the vacuum up and running."
This company is by design placing deliberate hindrances and advances staged excuses to not honor the warranty, which ******* has been made aware of as the 3rd party vendor.
Shark Ninja can let me which ******* in ****, AZ can take the defective unit and in honoring the valid warranty, replace the unit with one they have in stock. I will not accept further
deliberate efforts to delay replacing the unit which is the only motivation of Shark Ninja which is why I filed this complaint to alert the publlc and Walmart.

I ordered a Shark's ************** Detect Clean and Empty System on 10/17/24 online directly through Shark's website. I have received the item on 10/22/24 per tracking number ************. When I started using it I noticed it was not as powerful as another one I returned to Kohls. I returned the one to ***** because buying directly through Shark was cheaper. Anyway, the one that I got from Kohls had a square battery symbol which I thought was odd because the new vacuum I got from shark directly had a bar battery symbol instead. I went to Shark's website and noticed the recent reviews even had a square battery symbol in pictures. I wanted to know why there was a difference so I called Shark's customer service at ***************************/**/** around 8:30pm. I spoke with Jeoani and was provided reference number ********. After explaining my issue, he confirmed I have the correct model, but could not answer my question. I asked a couple times if he could escalate the call to someone that could. He advised no. He instead provided the reference number and stated to email ******************************** which I did 10/28/24 and followed up on 11/1/24 at 6:35am. Both times no response back. Email attached. Therefore, 11/1/24 around prior to 7pm. Email sent to business through ************************. No response back to date. I am now filing this complaint to get an answer to my question. Why is there two difference battery symbols going around? Is one more outdated then the other? I would like to be reached out via email AND anytime M-F from noon-1pm EST or anytime over the weekend.Business Response

Hello *** *****,
Firstly, we apologize for the delay in response. We have confirmed there was a re-designed of the battery which is the only difference between the two batteries. The design change does not impact the performance of your vacuum.

Shark offeres a 5 year warranty on their products, including the vacuum in discussion. The roller on the vacuum went out and will not spin, therefore wont clean the floors, so i contacted sharkninja, they did a video call to make sure the part was actually not working and verified the part no longer works then proceeded to tell me the roller of the vacuum, the main part of the vacuum, isnt covered under warranty and i would have to pay 100$ for the part plus shipping to have the part sent to me. What is the point of advertising a 5 year warranty if you wont replace the part of the vacuum that cleans the floors?Business Response

Im ***** ****** writing on behalf of my 83 year old mom, ****** ******, who does not have a computer/email. On 5/20/24 mom saw a tv ad for Shark Strata and called ************** to place an order (told 1st payment of $95.30 and 5 monthly payments of $71.65). On 5/30 she tried to assemble the cleaner but the handle kept falling off so it was unusable. After many attempts she called customer service ***************) and spoke with ******; said she wanted to return the vacuum. Brendas supervisor ******* said no problem with the return. Since mom doesn't have email he said he'd print the return labels for the 4 boxes, which she was to receive within 5 days (reference # ***-859-30). On 6/12 after not receiving the labels, mom again called customer service and spoke with Kapri (said her ticket is B as in boy). Kapri spoke with her supervisor and said the 4 labels would be sent within 24 hours and that any payments already made would be reversed. Labels never arrived. On 6/20 mom received her Chase ********* showing the Shark charges; she called the bank (spoke with Safar). He said ***** would reverse the posted charges because of fraud; he canceled her credit card and sent her a new one. On 8/22 ***** notified her that Shark had posted new charges; ***** reversed the charges and notified Shark to stop charging her card. ***** then sent formal notice that they had resolved the dispute. But on 11/2 she received a notice from *********************************** [**************************************************, phone ************] with reference #SNO183245 saying it is a debt collector for Shark. It told her to call Full Circle by 12/5 to dispute collection claim. It took her 10x of calling Full Circle to be able to leave a message with full details; as of 11/8 no one has ever called her back. She therefore has no way to remove the collection claim and stop the harassment from Shark. She does not want her excellent credit ruined and refuses to pay for something that is unusable.Business Response
