If the item is selling on Amazon but "discontinued" on the manufacturer site, does it mean it has any disadvantage or defect?

I have this item in a home and have had no problems for more than a year. We love the style and function of the unit.Ed S.

I had to have this replaced from the manufacturer. A defect made the flow really weak. Then sent me a new on, but it is not a lot better.

There's no way for me to know that but there is a warranty and ours has been working fine for over 1 year.

I don't own this item, but did buy a similar Pfister faucet from Amazon a few years back. It was a bad buying experience. The sprayer hose never worked correctly even though they sent a new part at no charge. The soap pump never worked at all in spite of 3 different replacements. I replaced the entire set after about 2 years. No more Pfister purchases for me.

No not necessarily, however, I would be skeptical because if you need if it does break you have zero support

Unsure if there is a way to be notified, but the original manufacturers website shows the product to not be in stock/shipped out to customer on THEIR website until 07/09/14. So I would GUESS at least not until around then for Amazon customers, if they even plan to restock it.

Other sites might sell for cheaper. You just have to look a little then but even on Amazon the used ones can be more expensive than the new ones, as it depends on the seller.

That's what I'm hoping, but I didn't know because the title says "(discontinued by manufacturer)"

it means it is probably a return item or someone didn't want it. They (manufacture or vendor) test the unit and make sure it is in working factory condition. Then they give you 90 days warranty on the product. All the accessories are there. You just don't get the original parts or maybe a missing manual. Check the details. I bought a few of these. They work just like the new ones I bought.

Not sure I would think because they had came out with a newer model would be why this one was discontinued

Allan, I really don`t know. Therefore, I believe that Amazon is co-responsable for seller indication. The seller must keep a warranty if it is not covered by the factory.

The reason it has to be listed as "Used" is that Amazon is considered a "Official retailer" so Amazon terms with Pioneer or some other Companies means Nobody but Amazon can list the item as new on Amazons website. This happens quit often with certain products if you try to list them for sale as a third party reseller. Per Amazons policy with that particular company. You must look in the Notes to see if it is new.

check the box or go to the manufacturers site if it isn't displayed on amazon

To answer my own question: I called Amazon and was told they had no replacements of that model available. They're going to email me a shipping label to print out and then credit my account.Since I called after hours I might try calling again to see if they are willing to make a deal with one of their 3rd party sellers to exchange it for the right model.I'm very disappointed. Love Amazon, but they should stop shipment if something's not available instead of substituting something that's worse than the advertised item.Someone must have thought we would not notice. :/

I would suppose it means the company is no longer manufacturing this product, they've replaced them with a newer model.If stock remains of this model then they are still selling them...

They're the same product. The only difference is who the seller is. Since many companies can now sell thru Amazon, it's not unusual to see 3 or 4 instances of the same exact product with different prices, all offered thru Amazon. Click on the product and check who it's sold and shipped by and you'll see the differences. The best solution is buy it from the link that says it's sold and shipped by Amazon. Especially when it's the cheapest.

No, sorry, but maybe look for the seller's information on Amazon and contact them? Or contact Amazon?

True - it's not Amazon's fault. It's marketplace scammers. As others have said - don't buy from these guys. If you really, really, really just have to have a discontinued Zune, get it on eBay for a reasonable price.

it may be a different vendor who has the item for sale. They may be out of stock.

Some refurbuished products may have been repaired and some may just have been returned for no functional reason. There's no real way of knowing. But, in general, I'd say the extra warranty period is worth the small price difference. Now if the refurb cost 50% less, that might be a differnt story.

I won't think so since it's not coming from a carrier to warranty it. The other indicator might be in the details section stating it's discontinued by manufacturer.
