Rugerman, not all manufacturers are like the guys you bought from, in fact most are good honest people who are trying to make a living just like you, don't get discouraged, of course all of us dealers are going to tell you that we have the best warranty. I personnaly like what Kelly said regarding manufacturers and warranties, his friend has one of our units that had a problem and things did not get resolved as quickly as I think they should have but I think that he knows the reasons why, in short it is not always entirely the manufacturers fault other than that we as an industry have not done a good job in educating the consumer on our products, proper use and maintenance. If I were in your shoes I would continue to press the company by letting them know that you are continuing to post here about them and would like the issue resolved, no company wants bad press, try to contact the dealer on here to see if he can do anything for you, PM him, and lastly don't buy on price alone, don't buy from a pretty flyer, go and look at the product lines yourself, you really do get what you pay for. Best of luck and let us know if any of us can help.
