A big thank you to David and partner at Stark’s Vacuums. Bought a vacuum from them a couple years ago. Had an issue with it and took it to them for repair. Even though it was my fault it broke, they still fixed it under warranty for free. Why I like to buy local; why I like Portland; why I like Stark’s.

David helped me today with my “new”/“old” Miele vacuum that my daughter gave me recently. It was giving me grief because the telescopic wand wasn’t working as it should. After looking on YouTube, I figured it was toast, but wanted a professional to look at it. It was, & David pointed out to me why.He also explained why the brand name bags are better than the knock-offs (they fit better, don’t slip when you check how full they are, thereby causing them to be misaligned with what they call “the drain”).He didn’t talk a lot, but answered all of my questions, which I appreciate. Best of all, he gave me a senior discount AND I have a vacuum that works!!Thank-you, David 😁!

The store has top of the line products and a large section of vacuums, shampooer steamcleaners and much more. The staff are great, warm, friendly, and attentive. Although everything is top of the line the prices are pretty darn good they range from affordable to well not so affordable but easy to manage. They also do repairs and most repairs are decently priced and the service staff are extremely helpful. Great place to shop😀 👍

Consistently great customer service by this business owner. I stopped in once and he took time free of charge to answer many questions. Most recently I called on Friday inquiring if he purchased or refurbished vacuums. Very impressed to receive a call back Monday morning with great insight and solution options.

My favorite vacuum cleaner’r hose busted. The replacement hoses are no longer made or sold. The Stark customer service helped me immediately and repaired the hose within minutes. He asked for nothing in return. I have used Stark’s for many long years and they never fail to impress. Thank you Starks!

I was searching for a vacuum that will last me a very, very long time. Rick answered all of my questions and helped me pick out a Sebo E3. While I’m not usually one to purchase a service plan, you really can’t beat the value of the plan offered by Stark’s. It was a no-brainer. I am in love with my new vacuum and can’t believe the difference in suction power (and reduction in noise) compared to my old stick vacuum. I am thrilled with my purchase and with the customer service I received!

Took our Dyson into Stark’s as it was running hot and not suctioning well. Rick was very helpful, diagnosed the problem and removed debris blocking the intake within a matter of minutes. We were glad we took it in promptly, because it appears we did not burn the motor out, which is great! They didn’t charge us for the service, which was very kind. We will definitely return to Stark’s in the future if we experience any other vacuum issues. 10/10!

We’ve always had such wonderful experiences with this Stark’s location. Today we received extraordinary help from Tyler, who knew exactly how to repair our beloved vacuum. He offered warm and incredibly helpful service that is indicative of a business that goes the extra mile for their customers. Highly recommend. We will without a doubt purchase our next vacuum with them, and continue to refer friends and family to this location!

I brought in my old steam cleaner, that I didn’t even buy from there, because the rollers no longer were rolling. Instead of putting it aside and letting me know he would call me later with an estimate, he looked at it immediately, figured out exactly what was wrong, looked up the right part, and then sold it to me at a very reasonable price. He even showed me where and how to install it instead of trying to charge whatever the labor fee would’ve been for him to do it. He was very quick, nice, and courteous. I’ll definitely be taking all of my vacuum and steam cleaner needs back to this location.

I have to say, I had such a great experience at this location that it completely exceeded my expectations! The only issue is that their phone doesn’t work right now — I tried calling for several days with no luck. I even contacted the Gresham branch, and they told me they weren’t sure what was going on and didn’t think any rentals would be available. But I decided to go down there anyway, and I’m so glad I did. The person who helped me at the Bend location was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He made the whole process easy and really turned it into a great experience. The machine itself was spotless and well-maintained, which honestly shocked me. Even better, it was on sale — I got the carpet cleaner for 24 hours, the handheld tool included for free, plus the soap, all for under $45. It’s hands down way better than the Rug Doctor, and I couldn’t be happier. From now on, this is the only place I’ll go for carpet cleaner rentals.
