Obviously I like buying things once and for all, but I feel it’s extra difficult with anything electrical because I just don’t know that much about it personally, and I can’t exactly check the insides.
So lately I’ve been wanting to buy an upright vacuum. I don’t know if there are more durable brands, what kind of accessories I should consider to make my life easier, what budget I should consider, or what characterics are more likely to make it shorter lived than others.
oh I definitely agree that it has been harder and harder to find products that meet the absolute minimal amount of information required to repair and maintain.
note, I didn’t even cover things like requiring specialized tools (which these days with BGAs and the wave solder requirements, limits repair to people with about $15K in capital tool costs)
