Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we completely understand how frustrating and disappointing that must have been. Waiting for an order to arrive, only to then receive a cancellation email days later with no explanation, is understandably upsetting, and that’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into this for you and help where possible.

Please reach out to us using the contact link below, so our support team can review what happened in more detail and assist you further.

Crap service!!

Further UPDATE!!

Still no response since the last email!! Please escalate this further as per-my email sent on 8th May 2026! The lack of communication falls below the level of service expected!!

UPDATE!! I received the below email and have yet to receive any further correspondence regarding a returns label. Also the item that you say you will send as a replacement is a cheaper version of the original product I bought at £300!! So this is unacceptable under consumer rights act as below.

The replacement you are offering is not like-for-like, as it excludes the original accessories and may result in a mismatched or reduced-value product. This does not place me in the position I was originally in at the point of purchase.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, any replacement provided must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and match the original product in full. A partial replacement that requires me to retain incompatible or used accessories is not compliant with this.

Additionally, requiring me to return the faulty unit and wait without a usable replacement causes further inconvenience, particularly given this is a regularly used item.

To resolve this matter, I require one of the following:

- A full like-for-like replacement, including all original accessories, or
- A full refund of the purchase price

Hello Pamela,

Thank you for your submission regarding your Shark Hair Styler.

I am sorry to hear that your HD440SLUK has this burning smell.

I understand this causes incovenience, since this product could be used daily.

Rest assured, as I will take all the steps regarding this matter.

Furthermore, I just arranged the replacement of the entire unit in order to resolve this.

Please note, that you will need to keep all the accesories as your replacement HD will not come with them.

The steps to get your replacement hair styler are down below:

Your new order number for the replacement unit is 04400184893. The time frame is 7 working days from the date you return the old one to the date you receive the new one.

You will be emailed a DPD pre-paid return label with the address of the nearest DPD drop-off location. Please return the product in its original box or a box large enough to hold it, and then tape the return label on it.

Please keep in mind that if you have already thrown it away, we will be unable to provide a substitute for it.

Not to worry if you do not have the original one anymore, as you can use any other box for this return. One can be acquired from a local post office, a convenience store, a neighbour, a local recycling centre, etc.

The new unit will be shipped once the package has been inspected at the SharkNinja Warehouse and we have confirmed the receipt of your old unit.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any additional support.
Regards,

Petru-Soimu

service and product has been burning even on the cool setting for over 3 months but due to health issues I have been in hospital and unable to organise sending the product back. Shark HD440SLUK FLEXSTYLE 5-in-1 Hot air styler and hairdryer. My hair is now left syringed brittle and dry!! Product no longer useable. Product will be returned to store to be returned!! Phoned helpline and it was a waste of time, how anyone could think that this could be fixed over a phone is utterly ludicrous!!

Hi Pamela,

Thank you for taking the time to share this update.

We're genuinely sorry for the distress, frustration, and inconvenience this situation has caused you, particularly given the health challenges you have been dealing with. We completely understand how upsetting it is to experience an ongoing issue with a product you rely on, and to feel that the resolution offered did not meet your expectations or reflect the value of the original purchase. We can see that our team has been in contact with you, and has since offered a more suitable replacement model, and we sincerely regret the confusion, delay, and added frustration surrounding the earlier communication and the returns process. This is not the experience we want for you, and we fully acknowledge how disappointing this has been, especially given the impact the product issue has had on your hair and your daily routine. Thank you for your patience in an already difficult situation, your feedback has been noted and shared, and we truly regret the inconvenience this has caused you.

Kind Regards,
Shark Beauty UK

Shoddy product and shoddy service

First device went bang whilst in use which was frightening, then didn't work, tripped house electrics at 6 months in. 3 weeks backwards and forwards to get a replacement. The replacement went bang 2 dsys in, exactly the same. Offered a refund but on the free replacement, so zero refund, now not getting anywhere trying to contact customer services again as this is not a good deal to me... not impressed

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we can completely understand how upsetting and concerning this must have been, especially given how frightening it is when a device fails in use and affects your home electrics. Having this happen not once, but again with the replacement, and then facing delays and confusion around refunds, is understandably very frustrating. This definitely isn’t the experience we want for our customers, and we appreciate you taking the time to share what’s happened. Your case has now been escalated, and a member of our support team will be in touch with you to review this in detail and work towards a fair resolution. Thank you for your patience, and we regret any inconvenience you’ve experienced.

Kind regards,

Needs a manual

Overall, really pleased with the product. It hoovers and mops, and doesn't leave the floor soaking wet.
My biggest problem is finding out how to use it properly. I spend so much time on the Internet looking at YouTube and trying to work out what's relevant to my actual model.
Please supply a decent manual, whether in print or online!

Shark and Media Markt’s Unacceptable Refund Delay and Evasion

I am writing this to share my extremely frustrating experience regarding the return process of a stick vacuum and an air purifier I purchased from Shark via Media Markt.

I initiated my return request on November 30, 2025, which was the 7th day of purchase and well within the legal return period. Despite this, I have been stalled by both Shark and Media Markt for nearly 5 months. Now, they are claiming they cannot process the refund because "too much time has passed," even though the delay was entirely caused by Shark’s internal mismanagement and poor communication.

The Timeline of the Issue:

I have contacted both companies over 20 times.

Media Markt consistently refused the return, while Shark repeatedly assured me that they would accept it and were coordinating with the retailer.

Following Shark’s specific instructions, I took the products to the Media Markt store twice. Both times, despite Shark’s prior confirmation, Media Markt sent me back, stating they couldn't process the return.

Shark then directed me to an authorized service center (Case Number: CAS23075-F0N8S9). I handed over the products, only for them to be returned to me a few days later without any resolution or refund.

Now, Shark is attempting to close the case by citing the length of time that has elapsed—time that was wasted solely because of their own misleading directions and stalling tactics. The products are currently back in my possession.

Throughout this ordeal, the only "solution" offered was a 10% discount, which is insulting given the circumstances. My demand has been clear since day one: I want a full refund for both the stick vacuum and the air purifier. As a customer who acted within the legal timeframe, I should not be the victim of a breakdown in communication between a manufacturer and a retailer. I expect Shark to take immediate responsibility and resolve this grievance without further delay.

We're genuinely sorry for the stress, frustration, and inconvenience this situation has caused over such a prolonged period. We completely understand how upsetting it is to have followed the correct process within the return window, only to be met with repeated delays, conflicting instructions, and no resolution, this is not the experience we want for any of our customers. We appreciate you outlining everything you have been through, and we regret that you have had to spend so much time and effort trying to resolve this. We would like to look into this further and work towards a proper resolution for you, please contact us using the link below, and for more urgent assistance, we would recommend calling our team directly so this can be reviewed as quickly as possible.

Good Hoover

The vacuum works perfectly and even on my tough, old carpets. Only thing is I wish there was an easier way to remove the accumulation of hair from the brush inside the vacuum, as it sometimes manually needs to be removed

Think twice

“I bought the SharkNinja wireless vacuum cleaner, expecting up to 2 hours of run time. Instead, both batteries only lasted about 30 minutes, even on a low setting. I returned it once, but the replacement had the same problem. While 30 minutes is enough for quick jobs, I’m really disappointed by the misleading advertising. I hope others avoid the same frustration.”

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We’re truly sorry to hear how disappointed you felt, especially after replacing the unit and encountering the same battery concerns. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we appreciate you being open about it. With the Shark Stratos, the advertised run time refers to the combined use of both batteries, when used on Eco mode, on hard floors, with non‑motorised tools. Battery life can reduce quite noticeably when using higher power settings, carpet modes, or the motorised floor head, as these draw more power. To help maximise run time, we recommend using Eco mode where possible, switching to Boost only for tougher areas, keeping filters clean, and ensuring batteries are fully charged and cooled before use.

Your feedback is genuinely valuable to us, and comments like yours help us better explain real‑world usage and continue improving both our products and how we communicate their features. We regret that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Kind regards,
Shark Home UK

Outstanding service

I have to comment on the outstanding customer service I have received from Shark recently.
I had a 4 year old vacuum that had issues with the roller and after calling customer service, I was taken through a short troubleshooting effort and a new part was ordered and delivered the following day (Sunday).
Sadly this did not fix the problem, but after another call and full replacement was ordered and again this arrived the following day.
This was an incredibly easy process and Shark were happy to live up to their Warranty promise, something I find is sadly lacking from other firms.
I cannot be more positive about Shark and while most people are happy to write a view criticising firms, few of us shout about when companies do well and that is what I want to do here.
I am now a very loyal Shark consumer.
