I would sure go back to Home Depot and make them very aware of your problems with their merchandise. HD might be willing to work with you to return the unit to the manufacturer in exchange for a new one, if you are willing to gamble the new one will not develop a problem.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd complain to HD, show them those
other reviews with the same problem, and tell them he either wants
another one without the problem or a refund. No reason one should
have to put up with this. From googling, looks like this is a $65+
device and you'd expect it to work coming from HD.
