machine suffers an early death

This machine provided good quality copies during its short life. After 120 days in use the machine gave error messages that could not be solved using troubleshooting guide. First e-mailed Sharp for help (no response) then called 800 number (received excellent help). End result is that I was told machine needed to be taken to a service center for repairs where the minimum service call costs $125 on the $90 machine. Machine now in dumpster and I'll think twice before taking a chance on a Sharp product.
