Anyone who knows me knows
that I like to keep a clean and neat house.
In doing so, I vacuum more than the normal amount, or so I’m told. I also use a hand-vac at least daily to keep
the kitty hair under control on the furniture, window treatments, and bedding,
and also to clean the cars. And this is
where my issues started.
I had a wonderful Hoover
hand-vac with a rotating brush attachment.
I wore it out; needed another one.
Unfortunately, I could not find another anywhere at that time. So I decided to try the Shark “Pet Perfect II”
that I had heard about. It also had a
rotating brush.
This thing was the worst piece
of junk I have ever purchased. Period. I
will NEVER buy another Shark product. (they
are now on my “list” with Lenovo products)
I charged it up when I got
it and then tried to use it. The brush
attachment kept falling off. Then after
I had recharged the battery only a couple times, it stopped holding a
charge. I called their customer
service. Keep in mind I had only had the
thing about a month at that time. They
sent me a new brush attachment and a new battery.
So I charged up the battery
and installed the brush. First time I
used it the brush fell off. Then the
first time I recharged the battery, it wouldn’t hold a charge.
So I called them again. The best they could offer me for this useless
piece of junk that wouldn’t work and was only a couple months old was to have
me pay about $26 in shipping charges back and forth so they could look at it to
see if it could be repaired. And if not,
they would send a reconditioned replacement.
I asked to speak to a manager and was told there was no one
available. I said okay, no thank
you. I was not spending any more money on
it. And I told them I would tell
everyone I talked to about their product.
So here we are. The useless
batteries are in the recycle pile and the vacuum is at the bottom of the
dumpster.
I did finally find a Hoover
hand-vac just like my old one. It is
wonderful! So, say “Yes” to Hoover and “NO!”
to Shark.
Stay safe!
