Repair costs more than new unit

As a loyal WAP customer for over 15 years I feel it's imperative that I voice my disappointment with WAP/Nilfisk and would be failing myself if I did not only bring this to your attention but also that of my fellow consumers elsewhere...<br> <br> How is it possible that to repair/replace a motor from WAP Nilfisk SA themselves costs more (R1326.26) than what I can buy a brand new, fully complete WAP 20 for right now (R1249 @ House & Home)?<br> Yes you might argue that this is a special price, but trust me... no one will sell below cost else they won't be in business. Game, makro and most retail stores (not even talking about specials) are more or less on par and just does not justify this amount to repair my current unit.<br> <br> I will arrange for my unit in its current state to be collected asap and this is unfortunately where my path will part with your brand.<br> #Nilfisk
