We got the Ninja Foodi NeverStick Essential 14-Piece Cookware Set, guaranteed to never stick 2 Pots starter losing the non stick stuff right off the bat. I had called and they said they would send a new pots but the shipping cost was as much as tthe pots cost itself (way more then the real shipping cost would be for them). Seems they try to make money from the "shipping" cost when doing warranty support. Its their fault for selling faulty items they should cover the cost to fix their fault. Now 80-90% of the set has done the same thing. I want a refund or replacements.Business Response

I bought a Shark Vacuum Apex at ******* roughly 11 months ago. The vacuum head shorts with the brush roll starting and stopping erratically along with the light. Obviously there is some type of electrical short that is beyond my control. When I called customer service, we troubleshooted via live video where the agent offered to ship me a replacement power head for $89 plus tax. This vacuum was expensive and now I'm being told that the power head is not part of the warranty. He then told me his supervisor allowed a discount of 50% off for the powerhead. I informed that I will not be spending any money and he asked if there was anything else then he could help with.This vacuum is less than one year old (model AZ1002) and Shark really stinks by not only avoiding warranty service but trying to get more money out of me simply because I bought the item from a retail store and not them.This should be a class action lawsuit again Shark Ninja.I would like this vacuum replaced.Business Response

Hose broke at insertion site to plastic handle for Shark NV352 vacuum cleaner. Called customer service and even did live video call to be told that this part of the vacuum is not covered under warranty. This is very disappointing as it is a product defect, and replacement should be covered at no cost. This was my first time ever calling Shark Ninja, and I'm disappointed in the wait time and the customer service I received. I would like to be refunded for the charge for a replacement part as a commitment to the quality of their products.Business Response

I purchased a SharkNinja FlexStyle Multi-Styler from their online website on 27 February, 2023, Order # ************. It was terrible for my hair and I started the return and refund process. It has become a nightmare journey since. Almost a week after my returned item has been delivered to them (on 18th April, 2023) by ***** (and I have the receipts) there is no sign of my refund. It's beginning to feel like a scam at this point after making multiple calls over a number of days to customer service, being put on hold for hours at a time and being told every time that my refund will be issued in a couple of hours and then nothing. One customer service rep hung up on me. I'm literally on hold with another one as I'm writing this and now being told the refund will be issued in 3-5 days, which is what they said the last time I called on the 18th of April. Meanwhile the credit card payment I made is accruing interest while I'm sitting here waiting for *** money back which is already going to have 10 percent deducted from it as part of their return policy. It's unbelievable that this company is operating in this unethical manner in a country like ****** and violating all kinds of consumer protection rights. I would like immediate recourse before posting this on every social media forum and writing about my experience (and finding others) in my capacity as a journalist for the Toronto Star. [Update] Still not being given any confirmation of refund, no email, in fact, they are refusing to provide me even a case referral number and saying I should call again in 15 mins for that. This has been what I've been doing all day during my billable working hours.Business Response

I got a call from the escalations department this morning and I also reached out to ********************* the ** sales at Shark Ninja. Both reassured me that my refund would be processed ASAP and ***** even offered a complimentary product. Since then, its been radio silence. I have no refund, no updates. How hard is it to return someones hard earned money? Other business have processed refunds much faster and competently than this. I have now spent over a week of my time and sanity on this. I would like answers as to whether Shark Ninja has officially stolen my money and also kept the item that I returned. What do they plan to do to return my cash and compensate me for my distress and time lost trying to deal with this?

I went through troubleshooting steps on the phone on 4/16/2023, the agent said the main body of the machine needed to be replaced, I specifically gave the model number with the ** (rose gold suffix), when I looked at the email for the replacement order it made no reference to color so I asked the agent who said it would be grey, I said that is unacceptable as our unit would be mismatched and that is not what I purchased. I asked to speak to a manager, the agent left for 5 minutes and came back claiming it was her mistake and the unit would indeed be rose gold.When it arrived it was grey so I called back and they said they couldn't do anything, I escalated and a manager called back and said he was putting an order in for the rose gold.I made a comment about the situation on social media and the social team asked me to DM, so I related the situation, they said that it was showing as another order for a grey one so they re-did it, I explained that the previous person specifically ordered rose gold so if it was now saying grey there was no reason to expect the same thing wouldn't happen.On 4/24 I got a response confirming that again it would be grey, and that the ** was unavailable with no ETA date. They claim they reserve the right to replace with another color or upgrade, I said yes but that is only reasonable if you are replacing the whole machine, not just a part. I received no response.Business Response

I purchased a shark vacuum cleaner in November 2020, paying $300 for the vacuum. The warranty on the product is a 7 year limited warranty. The cheaply ***************** plastic housing to the wheel broke and the wheel fell off. When I contacted shark, the representative told me the warranty was based on how often I used the vacuum and told me that this was not covered in the warranty because the replacement part was available for purchase for $120 plus shipping. I asked to be connected to a supervisor and was denied on 2 separate occasions. If I am paying $300 for a vacuum cleaner, I expect that it lasts a little longer than 2 years, the customer service is a little more helpful, and they follow their warranty that is posted on their website and not make up not covering things if the part is available for purchase which is not anywhere in the warranty.Business Response
