Right to Repair

Score breakdown

Why this grade

SharkNinja sells parts/accessories through its official parts-support site and a broad aftermarket; iFixit covers Shark uprights and robot models (e.g., ION R75). Designs are marketed as modular with tool-free filter/brush access for routine maintenance. However repairability is dragged down by documented tamper-resistant/special fasteners that block deeper access (iFixit Answers), uneven official schematic coverage, and heavy use of brand- and series-specific parts that limit cross-compatibility. Parts pricing is more reasonable than Dyson. Corded/upright units have no software locks; robot models are app-dependent but not parts-paired. Equal-weighted avg ~71.
