Almost five weeks after Appliance Retailer first revealed that authorised distributor Brand Developers had discovered major faults in two Shark Navigator vacuum cleaners, the wholesaler has enacted an official product recall and, for the first time, revealed the inherent vice in these appliances. Appliance Retailer first reported on Brand Developers suspending sales of the Shark NV350 and NV356 on 12 February 2015, when a letter sent by Brand Developers to retailers was leaked to us. At the time, no indication was given as to the nature of the fault, nor were consumers advised that their appliance may be faulty. Then, on 13 March 2015, Appliance Retailer revealed that Brand Developers had upgraded this suspension of sale to an official recall. Again, this news only come to light after a letter from Brand Developers national key account manager Dale Wooldridge to retail partners was leaked to us.

In this letter, Wooldridge writes that, “The power cords of affected NV350NZ and NV356NZ Shark Navigator vacuum cleaners for the New Zealand and Australian market have been associated with a manufacturing process issue.” Today, we can reveal that the official cause of this recall is because of “a fault that can create excessive heat in the power cord has been reported in some of these models”, and that this can present a “risk of burn and electric shock”. Appliance Retailer has written to Brand Developers asking why it has taken 32 days for the company to confirm the nature of the fault, the potential injuries caused by the fault and, considering the seriousness of these factors, why an official upgrade wasn’t enacted sooner. The two Shark vacuum cleaners that have been recalled are: The recalled vacuum cleaners were sold nationally through the TV Shop and retailers including Harvey Norman, Big W, Target, The Good Guys, Masters, Bing Lee and Betta Home Living.

reviewed on Sep 22, 2015 reviewed on Sep 06, 2015 4 out of 5, reviewed on Jul 14, 2015 1 of 3 pagesWhen it comes to buying a new vacuum cleaner, it’s often the case that you get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap one, you might find yourself disappointed with the results and wishing you’d spent a bit more on a better one. But at the same time, you won’t want to pay more than you need to for an appliance that simply sucks up dirt and dust from floors. The trick is to get a good deal on a quality vacuum cleaner. So which brands really are the best at keeping your home clean and healthy? Let us our customer satisfaction ratings offer some guidance. Two brands have dominated our vacuum cleaner ratings since we launched the category back in 2011, Dyson and Shark. These two have consistently ranked higher than any other brand in the eyes of Australian consumers who, after all, are the best people in this country to judge the effectiveness, ease of use and value for money, amongst other things, of the vacuum cleaners they own.

This year more than 1,400 adults reviewed the vacuum cleaners they have recently purchased and the end result was that Shark has replaced Dyson at the top of the satisfaction table. Shark has won the Canstar Blue award for Most Satisfied Customers – Vacuum Cleaners in 2016, after it was rated 5 Canstar Blue stars in Overall Customer Satisfaction. Shark vacuum cleaners were once only available through direct response television advertising (or infomercials) but you’ll now find them in a number of stores, including Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi and Mitre 10. On its website, Shark also claims you can get an “exclusive offer” over the phone. Dyson vacuum cleaners, meanwhile, can be found in all the usual retail outlets, as well as from Appliances Online. Consumer spending on vacuum cleaners is going down, our research shows. In 2015 we found that Aussies who have bought a new vacuum cleaner in the last three years spent an average of $373, but in 2016 that average has dropped to $343.
