Just love hearing stories like this!
A few years ago, I got a Making Memories trimmer. There was a defect in the coating on the trimmer, and the grid lines rubbed off in places. I emailed them about it. They didn't ask for a pic, or for me to send the defective one back. They sent me a brand new one, retail about $50! I still have the first one as back up. It is perfect, except for the faded grid lines.
