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.

You don't have much experience of laptops, then.

yes I do probably more than you do. I work inb a uni where both staff and studetns have them, most upgrade long before they need a new battery.
Most laptops can still be used even if the battery doesn't hold it's charge.



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.

Good for you. Probably stems from being able to purchase things for your
employer. Doesn't matter if they are value for money.

It does matter, and one of the reasons I've brought a dyson for work
is because I have one at home. I don;t want to buy another crap vacuum because it's cheaper therefor 'better' value. If I want value I brough 2 dustpan and brushes.
The best value drills are those that arent; powered you can buy them for under a fiver I have 3 here, so why do peole buy more expensive powered ones. ?



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

I don't pay for new skin.

yuo do in energy, which is derived from the food yuo eat which costs yuo money,
and what the **** do you think the dust is in your house ?



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

Not might. Will. But you are perfectly free to waste your money on
anything you want to.

and yuo are perfectly entitled to wate money on buying a car with a battery that will need replacing.
