On July 30, 2024, I bought a Shark 21 inch fan from my local ******. The fan worked well until 4 weeks ago. Now the fan is making a very loud noise when it is turned on and cannot be used. On March 31, 2025, I contacted Shark's customer service and spoke to **** from the SharkNinja ******************************* I informed him of the problem I was experiencing with the fan. In that conversation I was advised to allow access of my phone camera so **** can hear first hand the noise coming from the fan. I received an email on that same day providing me ticket number ******** to refer to. On April 10 I spoke with ******, he stated that the matter has been escalated and I should hearing from Shark within ***** hours. On April 15, I spoke with ***** a manager referencing the ticket # as seen above. She informed me that the matter has been sent to their front office for further review. She stated that I will receive an email from her either on 4/15 or 4/16. As of close of business today I have no such email.Customer Answer

I purchased the Ninja slushie machine in November 2024. Within the first five uses ingredients started building up inside crevices due to a design flaw as you will find hundreds of complaints of this online. I contacted Ninja about this issue, and their suggestion was that I purchased another one and said that the mold issue is not covered under the warranty. This is a design flaw and will end up getting people very sick. At what point do they conduct a recall or at least refund those monies being requested?? They are selling these defective machines at $300+ per unit.Business Response

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. Were truly sorry to hear about your experience with the Ninja slushie machine and the frustration it has caused.
As a gesture of goodwill and a one-time guarantee, wed like to offer you a 30% discount on a replacement vessel.
We hope this helps make up for the inconvenience youve experienced and allows you to continue enjoying your product. Please let us know if youd like to proceed, and well be happy to assist you with the next steps.Customer Answer

there are numerous complaints everywhere about people getting sick from mold in these machines I will not purchase a replacement vessel when your vessels are flawed by design. This will continue to happen and I should not need to purchase anything whereas your faulty device that you are selling and you know is faulty is full of mold and is making people sick. There needs to be a recall on these machines I demand a 100% refund and for you to take your moldy machine back that is the only way for a ninja to take responsibility for their faulty, moldy machine machines making people sick.

Thank you for your continued correspondence and for sharing your concerns. We sincerely regret that your experience with your Ninja product has led to frustration and worry, and we understand your position regarding the potential for mold and its impact on health.
While we have not issued a recall on this product, and we are continuing to investigate and evaluate product design feedback seriously.
As previously offered, we extended a 30% discount toward a replacement vessel as a goodwill gesture. While we respect that this was not acceptable to you, we currently do not have a broader refund or recall program in place for this issue. At this time, we are not able to offer a full refund outside of the warranty and return policy terms.
We want to assure you that your feedback has been shared with our product safety and quality teams. We take all health-related concerns seriously and continue to examine product design, user feedback, and cleaning guidance to ensure customer safety.Customer Answer

Complaint Title Recurring Defect in Ninja Foodi Air Fryer/Grill Model DG551 No Long-Term Resolution Offered Complaint Description Ive owned four Ninja Foodi air fryer/grill units over the past two years, and every single one has failed due to the same recurring defect: the internal food sensor stops functioning, causing the unit to blow hot air continuously, even with the lid open. This is a clear design flaw, not typical wear and tear.After the third failure, I upgraded to a newer model. It failed too. When I contacted support and spoke with a supervisor under ticket number ********, I was only offered two unsatisfactory options:***** shipping fee for a replacement of the same flawed model 2.Or get 30% off a different model, which still costs significantly and offers no guarantee of reliability.I understand warranty policies, but this is not a warranty issuethis is about four repeated product failures. Im requesting a free upgraded unit that has addressed this defect or a full refund for the repeated inconvenience, cost, and lack of product quality.Business Response
Date: 04/25/2025
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the repeated issues you've encountered with the Ninja Foodi DG551 units. We understand how frustrating and disappointing it must be to face the same defect across multiple products, and we truly appreciate your continued patience and loyalty.
Regarding your request, please note that under our current warranty policy, while we do cover the cost of the replacement unit itself, the customer is responsible for the shipping fee. We understand this may not be the resolution you were hoping for, which is why we'd like to offer an alternative.
As a gesture of goodwill and in recognition of the inconvenience youve experienced, wed be happy to provide a 50% discount toward an upgrade to a different model. This gives you the opportunity to try a newer design at a significantly reduced cost, and we hope it better meets your expectations.If this is something you would like us to do, please let us know so we can reach out and help you place the order.

I purchased a Shark Hydrovac Cordless 3-in-1 MessMaster, which became defective and was returned per SharkNinjas instructions. I have been requesting a replacement or refund since February 26th. Despite multiple follow-ups over several months, I have received vague responses, delays, and now am being ignored entirely after being told my refund request was escalated to a specialist team.SharkNinja acknowledged receipt of the returned unit and said I would receive a refund resolution within 7 business days. It has now been longer than that, and I have sent follow-ups with no response.I am requesting a full refund due to the defective product, lack of timely resolution, and unacceptable customer service. I am happy to provide documentation of all correspondence.Business Response

I purchased a Shark Stratos duoclean stick vacuum in April 2023 from ******. This vacuum has a 5 year warranty. Almost from the start, the power cord started to twist making it impossible to use the full length of the cord. I contacted Shark warranty department. The first question asked was "is there a loss of power"-doesn't seem to be. Then the *** told me that I was wrapping the power cord incorrectly when I put it away. That was highly insulting. I have been vacuuming for well over 50 years. I showed the *** the other Shark which I have had for 6 years where the cord didn't twist. I was still told that I was doing it wrong. The *** told me to make sure that the cord was always wrapped after each use. I tried that for a while but it didn't help. Trying to untwist the cord while wrapping it up has now broken off the piece that holds the cord in place.I have 3 Shark vacuums and have been happy with the first two. That is the sole reason that I upgraded to this model. This model was $250 when I purchased in 2023, so not a cheap vacuum.The *** was very rude and even when I showed her evidence that the power cord didn't twist on the other models she still insisted that I didn't know how to wrap the cord. Honestly, I couldn't believe how rude she was. All to not honor their ************, since the bottom hook that holds the cord on the vacuum has broken off, I have to wrap the cord in two sections and use a wire cord to keep it tied and the cord won't hook to anything anymore.I would like Shark to honor their 5 year warranty for manufacturing defects. This is clearly a manufacturer's defect. It is probably the most expensive part of the vacuum and I believe that is why they won't warranty it. I have never had any power cord do what the Shark is doing. But they would like to blame **** would like them to replace the handheld piece and the stick piece so I can use and store my vacuum the way my others do.Customer Answer

At this point I dont want them deliver another fryer I will go to the store and buy it at this point. It seems that even when you do as they ask they still want you to wait 5-7 business days.
