I bought one a few years ago that would not charge right out of the bucket. I brought it in to Marcum as I bought it online and they repaired it. No problems for 2 years and now the charge works sporadically and quit working completely. I ordered up a new charger and surprise it is $45.00, talk about expensive. I like their equipment but I get tired of having to visit them every winter when something goes to pot or replace their cheap parts that are extremely overpriced.
