Ikhokha machines lasts less than 2 years

Ikhokha machines are not ideal for long term use. Recently, my Ikhokha Shaker card machine could not function without being on charge all the time and it finally gave up on me when it gave a "invalid key" error. Bare in mind that we only use the card machine during big events so we would use the card machine 3 or 4 times a year. We contacted the customer support team and we were advised to buy a new machine. We only had the machine for 1 year and 10 months. It is ridiculous that I have to buy a brand new card machine every 2 years and is not a viable long term plan for our business.
