I agree with Charmion, that sounds like a problematic design on that hand vac. But it reminds me that I didn't buy the extra kit with my Ryobi hand vac (there is one that comes with all of the extras but it was out of stock, so I got the bare-bones one instead).

This morning I looked out to see what kind of trimmer the next door neighbor was using and I think it's the same as I just bought. He's a careful shopper so it feels like I made a good choice (I did compare reviews, but I didn't go outside of Home Depot to read them.)

In my files I keep receipts and warranties, and in my office closet I keep the boxes of various things. This weekend I decided I was tired of the saggy side on my phone's protective case and was all set to order another one when I got out the boxes from a couple of other cases I tried when I first bought the phone. The sturdy case it's in for the time being doesn't allow for wireless charging. The defunct one did, and when I looked at the box and the miles of folded warranty paper enclosed I was able to make out the tiny print English language section and realized I was about a week under the 2-year-warranty limit on the old one. And the application process wasn't particularly onerous, so a newer design Otterbox is on the way for the cost of postage. It's so rare that warranties actually work in my favor.
