May I suggest buying the extended warranty and possibly living longer from reduced stress in your life.

I came back to work from a trip to China one time to find my Ionic Breeze sitting in my chair with a note taped to it saying "Sorry!" Seems my co-workers borrowed it to suck up the dust from the blinds being cleaned at work while I was out and managed to choke it so full of dust it died (the blinds get cleaned once a year whether they need it or not, apparently they needed it that year). I'd bought the Sharper Image extended warranty and they swapped it same day at the store a few blocks from work. Gosh I miss 'em!

When my Kindle 1 croaked during the 1.2 firmware update Amazon advance shipped me a new unit over night (caution: I have Amazon Prime and have bought close to 200 titles). When I got the new unit I visited their site and printed out a pre-printed return label and dropped the old unit into a UPS drop box across the street.

Sharper Image RIP, long live Amazon.
