Time to give up on the Shark

[Nomad74]

As much as I love the Shark its time for a change. They definitely changed something in their manufacturing process. I believe they changed their supplier for the roller brush motors. This is the third time in as many months that I’ve had a defective motor. So, today I’m returning it and may be moving to something like a Dyson. I like the best buy warranty but I should more than a month out of these things.

Note to self, sell off SHKV stock asap

 

[Nomad74]

Well I returned it. The guy said they have been getting a lot back with the same issue and its now discontinued. I am giving the newer model a try.

 

[Nomad74]

Unbelievably I got to the register and they said their ability to run and credit or gift cards went down. So looks like I’ll need to order online with my store credit gift card.

And people want to go to a cashless system. We aren’t ready.

 

[Nomad74]

Just ordered it online. Re-upped the 2 year warranty. Only cost me $2.

No, but Mark Saiger uses them as well as Ron Werner.

We have 3 of the Shark Vertexs and they are all shot. I called the warranty center because I have the lifetime VIP warranty and they wanted to get on video call so we could try and troubleshoot. I told them I much appreciated their attempts to try and troubleshoot, but I didn't have time to do it right then. They also would only let me do one machine per call. Hopefully this week I can ge through them all and get my claims done.

 

[Mikey P]

No, but Mark Saiger uses them as well as Ron Werner.

Oh, well then.

Good lord

I would buy one, but their tools and attachment hose don't look very handy. That's one place where the Shark shines. The tools are very easy to access and the powered lift away is pretty freaking awesome.

@Nomad74 did you finish your large encap job?

 

[Nomad74]

Yes

@Nomad74 did you finish your large encap job?

Yes I did. Grabbed my Ryobi backpack sprayer and hosed her down.

Damon those sharks are made in Bama

Bless their heart

 

[Nomad74]

Well boys. I am really down right now. I’ve only used this new shark three times and the roller brush stopped working today. I must be cursed.

I’m now truly convinced they’ve replaced their motor supplier with some sort of cheap Chinese garbage. I’m returning it and getting a Dyson.

Bless your little heart

Same shit, different pile.

I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes.

Slow down. I know you!
Place your emphasis on the pull and stop forcing the push. Pushing hard (and fast) on the forward stroke does little to increase soil removal and place’s enormous stress on the head.

Charge more
Hurry less

 

[Nomad74]

The upgrade to the Dyson only cost me $21 including the 3 year extended warranty. Yahoo. I’m now in unlimited Dyson replacement territory. I’m moving up in the world.

We should start a betting pool on how long this one will last. Winner gets a free ticket to Drunky Fest.

getting a Dyson.

you're good at keeping up with the Joneses

 

[Kenny Hayes]

It will be throwing it in and out of the van that will kill it, not the using part. I thought Dyson’s were a no no on residential carpet 6 Mo.

You're good at being an idiot.
