If only it were cost-effective to repair cheaper things. Our vacuum recently stopped working correctly. We only paid $100 for it. Paying someone to repair it costs around that much after parts and labor. So my options are to fix it myself or simply buy a brand new one...
- ryandrake 9y agoIt’s often just the labor that’s expensive (at least in the US). The parts to repair most home appliances and electronics tend to be reasonably priced and available all over the web (my favorite source is eBay—people disassemble old appliances and sell parts separately). The tricky part is often merely access to service documentation, which is what most “right to repair” laws seek to correct.
