Five!! I will say this I caved and bought a Dyson last year and the thing still is running and working. I guess in our economy you have to spend more to have it last longer.

When they finally sold it to buy a bigger one, they had to keep changing refrigerators every few years. Nothing is built to last anymore. It is a reflection of the way we want want to live too.
