WHAT! Still a no go! Arggg!

Yep! Now I'm afraid of that model. Clearly they had a production or component problem. It smelled burned when I took it out of the box like the first one did, and it had exactly the same problems.

I decided to wait and pick another one later. We're still waiting for the furniture thingy anyway.

Maybe, but really the selection was pretty good. This was just the one we liked the best. I want to wait for Tsu to get home before picking out another one. If she doesn't like what I pick I'll never hear the end of it.
