That is a surprise Gary. I went to a local vac shop recently. The man knows me now. He said his repairs consist mainly of cable failures and blockages or losses of suction. He said motor failures are a rare reason for people to bring cleaners to him, though of course as we both agreed, with cleaners costing so little in the UK, it wouldn't even be worth the travel expenses of taking a known burnt-out cleaner to his shop for inspection.
Having said that, he seems to think that, like me, people are disposing of cleaners long before motor faliure takes place, given the condition of the cleaners he sees road-side and given the comments from people who've been into his shop.
