If the batteries don't work anymore, I buy a new vaccum. My Dyson was last updated in 2020, it is 2025 now, so I think it is working out? The charging dock works great for not forgetting to replace it.

Ya, a broom is easier at that point: no cord. Or you just get a stick vacuum and call the problem done.
