I agree. I paid $49 for a brand new K4 and it has a two year warranty - 1st year from Amazon, 2nd year from my credit card. This thing is disposable as far as I'm concerned. If anything happens to it, I'll at least get my money back.

After the warranty expires, I'll either keep using it until the battery goes or replace it with the latest model and use the old one for backup. Either way, it will have given great value.
