Extremely Poor Customer and Product Support – Planned Obsolescence
I’m really disappointed with the after-sales service for this product. It worked fine at first, but when I needed a replacement pot just over two years after buying it (just out of the warranty period), the experience became incredibly frustrating and disappointing - it’s impossible to buy a replacement pot.
I first contacted customer service in April after signing up to be notified when the pot was back in stock on the website months prior. After waiting a week for response, I was told the part was going to be out of stock until May. I followed up again in June, I waited two weeks for a response that it’s still unavailable - now apparently not due until maybe September, nearly five months after my first customer service enquiry. I was told I could buy the pot from Amazon for twice the price, and it is “usually delivered in 1 to 2 months” - which was both frustrating and unacceptable, but it is no longer available there either.
For an item in this price range, I expected better customer service. Under Australian Consumer Law, manufacturers are required to provide replacement parts for a reasonable time after purchase. But in this case, there’s been no urgency, no reasonable alternative offered, and no proactive or timely communication.
SharkNinja have not published my review on their product page. This demonstrates to me that the review ratings can't be trusted as an accurate representation of customer feedback.
This experience has made me doubt the reliability of both the product and the brand’s support and ethics. I won’t be purchasing from SharkNinja again unless they significantly improve their service and commitment to customers.
