My $200 hedge trimmer seized up after 3 hours, so now I borrow my neighbor's gas one

Bought an electric hedge trimmer at the Lowe's on 4th for $200 in April. Three hours into my first real job the blade just quit and smoke came out of the motor. Now I walk across the street and use Dave's old Stihl that's older than I am. The thing starts on the first pull every time and cuts through privet like butter. I still have the dead one sitting in my garage, so is it worth trying to get it fixed or should I just toss it?
