Query: Poor quality control?

This is our second midland weather radio, and the second one that died a quick death. The first just outright died shortly after the warranty period expired. This one the screen died, and no longer can be read. The backlight works and the machine itself works, but I just can't use it since I can't read the screen.We only use this in the summer since that is our stormy season, and after the season, it gets unplugged and the batteries removed. So it probably has less than 6 months total usage and is worthless. the manual says I can send it in to get fixed, for $45 +8 shipping? I could buy a new one for less. This will be the last midland product we purchase.
