So.

so you have to pay over and over.

I brought my portable vacuum after my mains one was causing problems not picking upo the dirt etc... there's was a split in the hose near the bottem that required a replacement. Then argos offered a part exchange so I upgraded.


Just get a new battery.

Have you ever bought a replacement battery for a power tool? Especially
one a few years old?

No never had to. I've only ever known one person to need a new battery for their Apple laptop too and that was after 6 years.
I don't worry about buyoijng anew lump of cheese if the one in the fridge gets a bit mouldy. I see every object as a disposable one.
I can't think of anything other than gold that lasts forever.

in fact even your skin changes every month, or do you thinko you keep yuor skin throught your life.

Do you not buy products that have batteries in them, because they might need replacing.
