I'd say with couple of times a week usage for a thing made out of plastic I could expect a lot more troubles than it had. It did require one dyson service which they kindly provide even for old devices and one this pipe thingy swap since it ripped. But as other commenter pointed out - it still works we just wanted to move on to something smaller and cordless and we expect the first thing that will fail in V11 is going to be batteries because other than that they're really sturdly built.

Any cordless appliance with non-replaceable batteries is going to be designed to last only as long as the batteries. Typically 5 years or so. At least cordless tools usually use replaceable (but absurdly expensive) battery packs. Home goods however seem far slower to adopt battery pack technology. One thing I hate is that every single manufacturer has their own special battery tech that is expressly incompatible with every other manufacturer. This is an area that is absolutely crying out for standardization but probably won't get it because they're making too much money selling literally $7 of materials and labor for $80. I meant that too. 8 18650s for $0.50 each, plus a cheap off-the-shelf $1 charge controller and plastic case.
