Title: Manufacturer discontinued over 5 years ago -- no warranty!!
Product review: Ordered this from Amazon/WhitneyFancher on May 25, 2011. Received beautiful new weather radio and followed instructions on initial charging, etc. Radio works only for a very short time then dies. I recharge overnight but radio dies again after 10 minutes of usage. After multiple calls I've learned Vector was purchased by Black & Decker in 2006, then Black & Decker sold to Baccus Global in 2010. The company selling here on Amazon (WhitneyFancher) is NOT an authorized retailer, and if they were, they would not be selling this product because it's been discontinued because of the battery issue. So, now I'm past the 30 days to return the item, there's no warranty whatsoever, WhitneyFancher will not return my email (there's no telephone number) so basically I'm out $60. Thanks a lot, Amazon.
