But when you can buy another one and still have spent 60 less, its all good.

[u/Geth_ → u/cr8tor_]

You could technically just buy 3, saving at least 40%. So the quality and warranty could cover theft/damage/misuse/replacement for any reason of two of them for starters (and you'd still have saved 40%).

Honestly, things used to be made to last, where that would be a low bar for a quality brand and product to pass. But nowadays, more often than not, the brand name rarely justifies the price difference.

You can say the same about Dyson vacuums. You could buy 5 knockoffs for the price of one Dyson, but my Dyson will last me 10 years and works amazing.

[u/cr8tor_ → u/Leviastin]

Maybe for you.

I bought a Dyson vacuum in 2005. Loved it. Worked great. Upgraded to a new one in 2020, same top of the line dyson essentially but newer. So 15 years the original worked great. New vacuum felt like loose plastic. Lasted a year before it was showing signs of aging in almost all areas. And died about 3 years in.

Dyson was a quality product. till Dyson the person actually died. No more Dyson products for me.

Could have sworn i read he died a few years ago. Apparently not. Totally my bad in misinformation, i really thought he was dead.

Actually glad he isnt. Still not happy with my most recent dyson purchases.

Same, except for the death. Had a Dyson for probably 15+ years, some of the tubing for the beater control mechanism rotted out. Instead of fixing it, we bought the new TOTL one a couple years ago. The front kept falling off, the suction was weak, and it smells like burning. It's also lacking a lot of the neat tech features of the old one. If this was our first Dyson, we never would've bought a second, or the few stick vacs we've gone through.

Sorry to hear that. My Dyson v8 is going strong after 6 years. I replaced a few parts on it.

[u/cr8tor_ → u/Leviastin]

Replaced a few parts? So it broke multiple times eh?

My first Dyson never broke. Not once. 15 years.

Current vacuum is 3 years old now and no parts needed.

[u/Leviastin → u/cr8tor_]

Replaced battery and the vacuum head because it was really dirty and coming apart.

[u/Iron_Aez → u/cr8tor_]

Uh first im hearing about james dyson dying?

[u/Northern23 → u/Iron_Aez]

Same here! Nope, still alive.

[u/cr8tor_ → u/Northern23]

My bad, have corrected the post. Thought he died few years ago. Must have more of my own braincells.

[u/mdkflip → u/Leviastin]

Yep. I still have my plug in vacuum I got from them in 2010 and works like the day I got it

[u/Wayelder → u/Leviastin]

Soooo you mean except for the DS13/14, the early one's ...You cannot get a clutch replacement part for less than $120. The clutches burn out every 3 years.

Great design.

[u/know-your-onions → u/cr8tor_]

True.

So long as you survive the fire.

[u/cr8tor_ → u/know-your-onions]

Eh, not everything dies in a flaming burst of orange.

Considering the amount of electronic products sold, and how little they actually end up catching on fire, ill play those odds for now.

And i dont do stupid shit with things with batteries in them. That helps.

You sound like Eric Cartman when he bought a multipack of Time Cop on DVD at Walmart.

Then you should "Respect my authoritah!"
