Bought a hoover for £250 barely 2 years ago. Registered for 5 year warranty. All was well till one tiny connector between a motor and a rollibg brush broke into pieces. Contacted Shark and it was a pure disgrace. They didn't understand what the problem was or how the hoover is built. They refused to aknowledge the fact that it was a design issue, not wear and tear. They had problems to verify my registration for 5 year warranty. Told me to buy a new rolling brush even though the connector was not included in the set, so didn't sort out the problem. The customer assistant was so not bothered that she even struggled to spell my name correctly at least once. At the end they closed my issue and refused to communicate with me and told me to buy a new noozle for £70. Totally disgraceful. 5 year warranty is just a gimmick. Basically any problem with the hoover is classed as wear and tear. Appaling customer service, definitely not worth the money paid! Avoid at any cost!
