Above Ground Storm Shelter Solutions Without Sacrificing Space
The Vortex Vault Tornado Shelter Bed is an innovative new technology that allows for in-home protection from severe weather without sacrificing and additional space in your home. It is manufactured in Oklahoma but available throughout the United States via a dealer network. The storm shelter bed allows many advantages over traditional in-ground and above ground shelters and can be moved to different rooms or moved to a new home when you move. It is also the perfect solution for wheelchair and mobility scooter users as well as those with limited mobility as they can easily access the shelter without the danger of accessing steps of a traditional in ground shelter. The bed lift system also acts as high low option allowing for easier transfers back and forth from the bed to a wheelchair.

Good concept lifting system is a bad design vault is stuck up for the second time and can’t get anyone to answer the phone called OKC chamber of commerce and their phone has been ringing off the hook. So much for bob stoops and mark Cuban endorsing this product

Terrible service. The system was installed January 2021. I purchased a warranty on it. Total cost $9,300. During a tornado warning I couldn’t place one of the inside pins that keeps the system from collapsing because the system was no longer in alignment. I have tried to contact the company since January with no response. I was putting a complaint into the Better Business Bureau and learned that others have had misalignment issues with no response from the company. I don’t feel safe using a system that could collapse under pressure. Because of the misalignment, the doors are hard to open and I could get stuck in there. I rate it zero.

Having issues with the system and can’t get any service. Have been trying to contact for a month and no return calls. Terrible customer service. If tornado hits, I have no protection as the system is not working properly.

Same complaints as others.
Doors out of alignment and sounds like an internal hinge broke. Now not safe to use. Cannot get any answers or service as company just disappeared. Reported to better business bureau as well.

same issues as above. Is there a class action lawsuit I can get involved in?

I’m located in Kentucky and paid $8k to get the workbench storm shelter delivered and installed. It now has problems, off balance, jacks look bent, etc. I’ve been told the company went under.
I’m trying to get a group together to get a lawsuit, if there’s not one already. Email me at [email protected] or text/call me 270-883-2673 so we can all talk and get something organized.
Giancarlo Herrera –
Looks like many people are on the same boat as me. Having issues with the shelter having alignment issues and not being able to get it serviced. I can be reached at 918-808-6803 or [email protected].

No one to call for service,,,, seems like they would be liable,,,, the battery want stay charged and evidently the bed will not work if battery not charged, even though its plugged in…. It’s stuck half way up now, and was never totally aligned from the beginning… where are the people??? What to do? This metal apparatus is bolted to the slab of my house and no one to service?!

Like others, mine quit working. Somewhere it gets out of alignment and binds up. Then it frees itself and sounds like it fell to the floor, but didnt. Because I live in Oklahoma have a tornado shelter is a must (there have been 103 tornadoes this year and it isnt July yet). I managed to get this one up using the motor/screw set up and then finished with a hydraulic jack. all the safety pins are in place, but now i have no place to sleep! I contacted a “dealer” in Kansas and was told there is a warehouse in OKCity full of vaults but they are locked up because of some legal action. Soon I will have to figure out how to get this monster apart, down, and out of my house. I think my next will be a room.
Their idea was good, but the execution was terrible. I feel like I got ripped off. If I could give it a negative number for a rating, I would.

Like others the IDEA was good, but not well thought out. Mine has broken welds that hold nuts to the U channel. Without them it will not come down without falling. If you are going to work on it yourself , even to take it out, remember it can fall on you and seriously injure you. I too heard there is a warehouse full of units for parts , but no one seems to know how to access to them. Perhaps the Oklahoma AG can help with that. On the other hand, we may all have just been TAKEN by CROOKS. I agree, once mine is down, it is out the door! Scrap steel for the junk yard. If I ever see the folks that did this on the side of the road in 100 degree heat, I will ignore them and let them roast!

Does anyone know of a class-action lawsuit against the company. I have a warranty on this piece of junk which is basically useless since no one to contact. Tried to AGs office and got no help. Does anyone know who a person can go to for help with this. Paid way to much money for it to be useless. Can’t even find anyone to take it apart and get rid of it.

No review just contact Shark Tank and/or Mark Cuban

We work on these things if you need repairs or alterations we fix them. The pins and offset issues very common on these poorly fabricated units. But we make your large investment work again. KNDstructures@gmail
