      This is a robotic vacuum it connect once when I purchased it (it is supposed to learn the layout of my house) since then it has not (I know my wireless network and password, I have made over 6 calls and numerous emails and their own technicians (supposedly tier 2 and 3! The last one want me to delete my wireless network off of my phone-which I would not do, as there is no reason to) can not get it back on my network. So for several months, it is a very expensive paperweight.

      Purchased the Shark vacuum model AZ1002 on 1-18-19 with the Lifetime VIP Warranty. We have used this vacuum on a daily basis without any problems until recently. When using the vacuum the 1) lights on the floor setting will not light up, 2) the light for the wand stays on with the wand connected and 3) the roller brush will intermittently start and stop while in the bare floor mode. On 7-25-22 I contacted Shark customer service and went through the problems I was experiencing with the representative. The representative asked if I would allow them to view the vacuum cleaner through a link that uses the phone so they can view the problems. After looking at the vacuum and listening to me repeat the problems again the representative informed me that the issues where regarding as normal wear and not covered by warranty but she would be more than happy to take my credit card information and send me replacement parts. I informed the representative that we had lifetime warranty and the parts should not wear out during normal use and she explained those parts are not covered.I explained that I will not buy another shark product and I was not happy about buying a lifetime warranty that didnt cover any parts since the whole vacuum could be considered normal wear an tear from everyday use.Shark should honor the warranty THEY SELL.

      I have a Shark Ion robot which was purchased in February 2022 which I unpacked and started using it since April 2022. I have used that not more than **** time since then and it stopped picking dust - the suction stopped working - I did all the troubleshooting, clearing all the debris from cartridge as well as cleaned filter, etc.I did video troubleshooting with Shark customer service and they deemed my robot defective and promised me to replace the robot. I received the replacement robot body today which I installed battery in and charged it and it doesnt even turn on.I am so upset at this point, after spending $450, I am not able to use the robot.I would like Shark to take ownership of the situation and replace my unit with a brand new working unit. Preferably a different model which works because now I have lost faith in the current model as the replacement part didnt even turn on.

      1. The address you have on the order is my old address - my new and current address is 3078 ******************************************************************************** ******.


      2. I know we quickly spoke about the model of the robot youre sending which is RV1001AE - this is the same model of Robot I have where I am experiencing issues. I have attached the picture of my current robot including its self empty base. I was hoping you could send me a different model with self empty base - maybe this one https://www.sharkclean.ca/products/shark-ai-robot-self-empty-zidRV2502AECA?ds_rl=1297295&ds_rl=1297295&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5M38mOKU-QIVEsmGCh2iQQHnEAAYASAAEgIdC_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

      I was attempting to make a purchase of an air crisper frying basket to go with an air fryer that I purchased. I was trying to make the purchase. The initial attempt to make that purchase is Order #********. While doing so, I apparently made an error while entering the credit card information, so the I was notified not on the spot, but later that the transaction didn't get approved so the order was canceled. I didn't get offered a chance to correct the error. They just canceled the order. Upon receiving that news, I made a second attempt to order the basket using a different credit. All of the other information connected to the order remained the same (The item order, my name, shipping address, etc). This time the transaction was approved (Order #********). I was told told to expect the shipping information soon. After a couple of days when no shipping information came, I again reached out to customer service via chat typing and I was told that the second order had also been canceled, only this time they didn't even attempt to contact me to let me know. When I asked why, their response was the **************** won't approve any sales to a person once a credit card failure occurs. Mistakes happen. What gives? I just want to buy the basket because I can't get it anywhere else.

      My wife and I purchased the Ninja Creami in January and weve used it off and on during the last 6 months. On Sunday while re-spinning, the machine started to smoke and then blade melted through the plastic. Appearing to ruin both the blade and the stand. Weve been calling customer service every day since. Weve twice been told wed receive a call back from the escalation department, but its been radio silence. So we have a 6 month old brick.

      I purchased a Shark vaccum cleaner less than a year ago and I've had multiple problems with this unit to the point that I got so frustrated with this company that I stopped my last payment to them only because I was not allowed to speak to someone in management about all of the issues that I keep having with this new unit I feel like I was Givin a refurbished unit because of all the malfunctions that keep accruing. My account then was sent to collections in which at this time I was refused service until the balance was paid in full so I obligated the balance was paid in full on Jume 13, 2022. Since then I placed several calls in reference to my unit not functioning and once again I was told that as of July 13 my balance in which was paid off that there collections department never updated the system so I have to wait meanwhile I have a non-functioning unit that's sitting in the corner and I have severe allergies. At this point legally Shark is wrong you can't hold ne responsible for your collections department not releasing that a pay in full was received by me and you keep denying me service this is all wrong I'm so frustrated that I wish that I could get a complete new unit that works or a full refund and I will glad return this non-functioning vaccum cleaner.

      Basic details: - order number: 12981223-00 - ordered robot vacuum and accessories - order date: 5/28/2022 - first ship date: 5/31/2022 - second ship date: 6/7/2022 This complaint is based on two tennents. First: For some reason unbeknownst to me, SharkNinja failed to charge my paypal account for this order. Initially the charge showed up on my account right after the order, but in the ********************************************************************************************************************************** about the matter. Finally, an email arrived stating they were unable to charge my card. I called the number as instructed and talked to a representative. That representative said in summary that there was nothing she could do and that I could just continue to use the product and would not be charged. A dubious statement, but as she was unwilling to help me make a payment I left it at that. Two weeks later I receive another email, threatening "further grievances". I again called, and talked to a very unhelpful person who said she was unable to charge my paypal or accept a different credit card for the purchase. They only thing I could do was call paypal and ask them why the charge was rejected. I asked for a supervisor, and was told one would call. They never did. I called again same day 6/28, and again asked for a manager. I was again promised one would call, they never did. Second: After many phone calls and an initial BBB complaint they were finally able to take a credit card and take my payment. Now however, they issued a third email saying I am being sent to collections, and this is after the confirmation of payment from one of the supervisors. I require that the harassment stop immediately and that full restitution be made for my credit, time, and harassment.

      Yet another copy and paste answer. You are attempting to send me to collections for a debt that has been fully paid. This is predatory business practice and you need to fix the issue before anything can be considered resolved.

      Closed under protest. The matter was finally resolved, but it again wasted hours of my time. I have had nothing but problems from this company, and all I wanted to do was make a simple purchase, should be easy right? Something is systemically wrong within Sharkninja and management needs to address this. Communication ***** and customer service is awful. Worst experience I have ever had purchasing something online, and I buy 80% of my stuff online, so that is saying something. Shame on you!!

      I purchased a shark robot from ******** I have been trying to connect it to our home Wi-Fi and have been unsuccessful. I have been calling for two weeks to get some assistance and have not been successful at all. When I finally spoke to the escalation I was instructed after trying 15 other troubleshooting steps to reset my network settings on my device. The agent stated he would call back. Once I powered my phone on i has a new voicemail from agent to return the call. I returned the call and now I have to have snifter escalation ticket opened for them to continue to troubleshoot. This has been going on 2 weeks and Im still no where closer to get a resolution. The language barrier also makes it more frustrating because I cant understand half of what is being said to me. I have been asking for a supervisor and have been told no one is every available. I am requesting my product be swapped for one that works

      A couple of years ago (can't recall the exact date but does not effect validity) I purchased a robot vacuum directly from Shark/Ninja and paid for a lifetime warranty. From first use to now, the vacuum never functioned properly. 1 1 - The robot requires a smartphone be connected to offer all functions - Every time, after enduring the annoying process of allowing the robot to wander aimlessly around the house in order to make a floor map (the process can take several days to a week or two) the map is erased every time Apple sends out a security update. Which is very often. I have apron 50 other apps and none of them loose my information upon an update.2 - Even when a map has been completed, saved and I go through the process of creating and naming the rooms, the robot does not appear to utilize a map and wanters around the home without clear direction. Simply doing a back and forth cleaning path, never going directly to the room I specify to clean. Nor can it ever find its home dock.3-The vacuum doesn't pull all the dust and hair into the collection area, with everything getting stuck within the teeth near the roller.I called a few months back and spoke to someone about the issues. She told me to reset the robot and try remaking the map and see of it works. If not, she said call back and they would replace the unit.I did so and it still didn't work properly and once again, the map was gone after an iPhone update.So I called Shark/Ninja and this time was told they would not replace the unit unless I went through the process again. This time then running it on ECO mode (why when Id never use ECO mode) and a bunch of other steps requiring weeks.This is absurd. I followed the steps I was originally told and now they are moving the goal post. Requiring a great deal of effort just to verify thew problem which Ive already informed them of. How much work should a person need to put forth in order to make an item function properly as advertised?

      Hello, 

       The response received is only a note stating they have tried to reach me via telephone ("party not accepting calls" message is not something I'm aware of nor its origin.) along with an email to my personal email address.  At this point, because there's not been any sort of resolution discussed, I prefer to maintain all communications like this one, through the BBB website.  Because it is clear for their immediate response and verbiage, and as we both know, the business is always more accommodating with witnesses to the communications exchange. Below is the auto response generated from the BBB web portal.  But the case is not yet resolved.

      On a slightly different subject/note.  As someone with an extensive retail background and customer service experience, I've been amazed at the brazen disregard for the customers experience and what seems to be a sharp change in pretty much every industry.  Is it just me?  The fact that companies either don't invest in robust customer service programs or just play the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" game.  The fact that the issue wasn't resolved at the first customer outreach and requires pushback on the customers part and getting the BBB involved is a bummer and waste of time. I get it, that's what the BBB is for.  But still, how frustrating.  So thanks for the assistance.

      Seeing how they responded so quickly brought to mind an issue I had with a different retailer last year, and the truly shocking way the situation was handled.  I had to walk away from the whole thing because it was ***************** so much of my time and had become so infuriating, forty my sanity, I had to try too let it go.  But as I type this I'm realizing, I've obviously not let it go. I can feel my face getting flush.   

      I'm hesitant to revisit the subject and am curious if BBB could assist me with the issue or will I just end up subjecting myself to more frustration.  If possible, I would really love the chance to discuss and get some feedback regarding the situation before filing a complaint.  I'm also curious to know if the regional BBB offices handle complaints in the same manner or better or worse than others.  My home tel number is ************.  I'd greatly appreciate it.  If that's not possible, I completely understand.

      Thanks & Regards, 

      ***

      This is regarding a case I filed with BBB and Shark Ninja hijacking the communications to be outside the BBB system.
      Forwarded below is another auto generated response I just received from Shark.  It looks as though they might have received the BBB complaint info from you as they are reaching out again but have now changed the name on the email from ******* to *****************, but it is still sent from Zendesk.  It says so at the very bottom of the email.  Also, the bit about not being able to leave a voicemail is not true.  They used that excuse before as well.  Just last time they said my phone number didnt work.  All my lines and messaging machine and service are working just fine. Last time, I responded with a time to reach me and they came back with the same response, that my phone didnt work.  Im going to send them a time to call me and see if they respond that way again.

       If I call the 800 number listed, there is no ****.  It goes directly to a call center in *************** and is handled like any other service call.   Sneaky sneaky

      Thanks & Regards,

      The point I am at, they are (Shark Ninja) is awaiting me to ship the item back for a full refund.  I have finally received a shipment which I can utilize the box for the return, but I am still in need of a little additional packing fill to ensure everything us secure.  So I am awaiting a couple of shipments from Amazon which I hope will contain the correct size/type of fill material required.  I would not consider the case close until I have the full refund in hand.

      Hello *****,

      We connected earlier and you advised you were waiting on more packing materials. Where your unit is used, we are not worried about it being completed wrapped as long as secure in a box with the new prepaid label that was sent today for you. As soon as we get it back to warehouse the full refund process will start.

       If you have any other questions, you can reach out via phone to **************, Monday - Friday, 9am EST to 5pm EST.

      Please reference your account number **********.
