ooook

how can repairs be more expensive than getting a new unit of the same kind?

Robin,

Could you go into more detail describing what your problem is?
Is there a problem with your machine and/or have you been quoted costs for some repairs?

Catbird did you get a quote on repairs? My insurance will repair my machine if it becomes damaged or broken up to a point, then they will replace it.
