I am so thrilled to have found Stark’s, because I moved here recently and lamented leaving my great vacuum-repair place in Seattle. The reviews led me to Stark’s, and my visit yesterday greatly exceeded my expectations. Plenty of easy parking, to start with, so I had no problem lugging my heavy Riccar inside. Rick immediately asked how he could help. I had “broken” my vacuum by catching very long rug twine in it and overheating the motor. No problem — he switched out the belt, removed all the twine, and now it’s as good as new. No idea how much he would charge me — until he said “That’ll be ten dollars, please.” I asked my daughter and son-in-law how much they thought it cost and they guessed $125 and $150. I am so happy that stores and services like this still exist, and I will be going back to Stark’s for future repairs and whenever I have to buy a new vacuum at some point. The store was quite large, neat as a pin, and very well-organized with everything one might need related to vacuums. Love the service focus — not “appliances and vacuums” but VACUUMS. They know their stuff.

I brought in a 13 year Kirby and left with a new Titan T3600 because the Kirby repairs would be over $500.00. The gentleman who helped us was very helpful and informed me about my new vacuum. Very pleasant.

Josh went above and beyond to check his warehouse and every store inventory to find me the exact model I was looking for same day so I wouldn’t have to wait for it to be shipped. He even went to another store to pick it up and bring it to his location for me.

Tyler was awesome in helping me fix the broken prong on my vacuum. He wasn’t trying to force sales and seemed genuinely happy to offer advice.

Walked in with a vacuum at the end of its useful life, walked out with a new vacuum that’s exactly what I need. No overwhelming sales pitch, just a couple of alternatives with a quick rundown of pros and cons. Two-day shipping can suck a brick, I was out in 15 minutes. As an added bonus they held on to my dearly departed Kenmore for proper disposal.R.I.P. Ken, courageous in the face of adversity (10 years of suffocating pet hair).

The guys at Stark’s vacuums were super helpful today by reattaching my vacuum hose, clean out some drywall that had somehow gotten stuck inside, and changing the filters. (Gotta keep the vacuum away from construction projects now.) I appreciate their expertise and friendliness.

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.

I found their spot after they relocated away from Sherwood. Good decision for them, I think. Amazing location in Beaveryon now.
