Query: Don't buy this item through Amazon

I purchased this itemMarpac SleepMate 980A Electro-Mechanical Sound Conditionerthrough Amazon in Oct last year. It worked great for 8 months and now it just quit. Amazon gave me a number for the manufacturer to discuss a refund/replacement and they informed me they don't make it anymore. So I am out the money I spent on the item plus the item doesn't work. $50 disposalable white noise machines are a little too rich for me.
