Honestly, did the repair guy at least laugh when he opened it up? Tbh sounds like that trimmer was held together with hopes and prayers.

True, connectors are a huge weak spot. What's the most common failure you see, corrosion or just loose fittings? I've had more than a few problems that looked like a ground but were actually a connector halfway down the line that looked fine until you wiggled it. Makes troubleshooting a real pain.

Honestly, the creepiest part is how they design the whole sign-up flow to be a one-click thing, but bury the cancel button... I had to google how to cancel one service because the option just wasn't in my account settings. They count on that friction to keep you paying.
