      I bought a shark model nv586 vacuum in December of 2022. The vacuum is overheating and has no suction, after going through the troubleshooting steps on my own and nothing resolved I contacted the warrant department of shark. After they ran through the same trouble shooting steps, she told me I would need a new floor nozzle and the part was over a hundred dollars,I asked why this wasn't covered under the warranty she then said she would give me 50% off,and that turned into I could pay for the shipping. She never addressed the fact the motor is overheating, which is my primary concern of it causing a fire. And then she said thanks for calling even though there was no resolution. The vacuum is only 3 months old and I only use it for typical use.

      I purchased a brand new vacuum cleaner from a ******* in ****************, ** 4 weeks ago. When I put the vacuum together, I noticed it was missing the bolt that secures the handle to the unit. I called Shark customer service and they said they didnt have the bolt that was missing in the box and I had to purchase the handle and bolt for $35. I told customer service I wasnt paying for anything as they shorted the part in a brand new vacuum. They told me they would send the handle and bolt. I received an email today telling me that my order was cancelled. This is unacceptable. I have no working vacuum as the handle wont stay in place without this bolt. And shark will not honor sending me the part or the handle. Shame on them for their awful service.

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

      Shark never resolved anything with me as they sent a handle with no bolt so they not only did not listen to my issue, the escalation team was more remiss in sending me a handle that I can do nothing with.

      I have been in the hospital for the last 5 months, gravely ill. I ordered the H34383133303234**33H grill because we are having a family reunion and want to use it. I have statements where they have taken money out of my account - Nov. 15, 2022 - $279.00; Dec. 8, 2022 - $141.00, $175.00, $103.00 and $421.00; Jan. 2023- $340.00, $385.00; Feb. 18, 2023 - $279.00, $181.00 and $318.73. Either send me the product or send me my money back. They are telling me to wait 4-6 weeks. They are denying that they are taking money out of my account. They can deliver it to the rehabilitation center that I am at or refund the money taken out of my bank account. I don&#**;t want to wait 6-8 weeks before I get my refund back.

      I purchased a Shark stick vacuum from an authorized retailer (******) in November 2021. This vacuum came with a five year warranty. The warranty states "SharkNinja warrants that the unit shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase when it is used under normal household conditions and maintained according to the requirements outlined in the Owner's Guide."I have used the vacuum exactly as it instructs. I have another Shark vacuum that I've had for ten years with extremely frequent use, and never had an issue. But this vacuum has a design flaw. The hinge on the dust cup cracked, which prevents the dust cup from sealing when closed. This means the vacuum cannot effectively create suction. I called product support, and they told me this is not covered under warranty. The warranty clearly states that it will be free from defects, and this is a defect. I have never done anything with the dust cup except push the button to open it and then close it once it's empty, and yet it cracked from being opened repeatedly after only a little more than a year of use. I paid way too much money for this vacuum for it to break so quickly and to be told this is not covered under warranty.

      They advertise the robot vacuum as Autonomous technology. No babysitting required. Detects and avoids objects Ultra smart robot means you don't need to pick up before it cleans. This is not true and they refuse to honor the lifetime warranty I paid extra for. Just purchased on 2/2/23.

      I ordered the Shark hair dryer HD112 model on November 28, 2022 for my mom for Christmas. She started to use it 12-26-2023. Already started to have issues with the device on **********. It is making a loud high pitched noise every time you turn the device on. Called multiple times to Shark customer service. Can not understand anyone that has tried to help me. Was told we had to cut the cord of the device then send them a picture and a new device would be sent out in 2-3 weeks. And we would have to cover almost $30.00 in shipping for their defective device. Keep asking to speak to a supervisor was told would take ***** hours to talk to someone. I cannot get this issue resolved.

      Hi,I made an order on the ******** website under order # ************ After the order was determined lost I requested a refund, however they decided on giving me a replacement instead. I ended up returning the replacements but have not yet received a refund for this.They gave me 3 ***** tracking numbers, of which I have two saved. The two I have saved are ************, and ************, which have already been returned to Shark. They should also have access to the third tracking number since i downloaded the label from the website link they provided, and also they should be able to see from Camera footage that the 3 packages were delivered at the same time. I am not sure why there are so many delays and I every time I call in i get the same response. I hope that shark resolves this as soon as possible!

      I bought a Shark Vertex Speed Duo Clean, Model AZ1810 11/21/22 AND a Shark AI Robot Vacuum, Model RV2002, on 11/2/22. I have tried repeatedly to reach customer service through the website, the app and by phone. The app & website BOTH say my AZ1810 doesn't exist. I tried over an hour using the model number & by model options. I cannot get accessories from you or any other site. The vacuum doesn't operate properly without the filters of which I need replacements. The Robot takes 2 days to charge & gets halfway through my house before the battery dies, sometimes not able to dock itself to charge. We lost the vacuum for hours because with a dead battery it can't be located. There is something wrong with it. It mapped my house 6 ************ still wrong, but the battery dies before it gets to finish and I can't add to it. It's useless if it takes two days to charge only to die an hour later. Today is Sunday and I haven't run the robot since Friday. It's been charging for two days and is at 90%. If I run it, in an hour it will need to dock again. I sat through all the prompts on the phone multiple times, assuring the automated system that I have the product available before I get disconnected or told customer service is closed, redirecting to your site that only tries to sells me more products. I'd buy the filters because I am in dire need of them, but this one item I DO need, your site tells me doesn't exist for a 4 month old model still being sold! I attached screenshots from my acct history showing 34 runs totalling **** hours and ****sq ft. That's averaging 40 minutes before being drained. That's absurd. Something is obviously wrong with this robot.
