Eats Batteries and Surface got Sticky/Gummy

Did a good job tuning up both electric and acoustic guitars until it hit the waste bucket tonight. I was tired of the tuner seeming to eat batteries with what seemed like little use, but I tolerated it since it did a decent job nailing tune. What tipped me over the edge to toss it in the waste can was over time it had built up a sticky/gummy residue on its surface. I tried some fairly strong solvents to remove it, but whatever it was wasn't coming off. The sticky crap was migrating to my fingers and this inevitably found its way to the fretboard on my guitars. First and only Snark I owned and I've found another manufacturers tuner that was cheaper, works better, and easier to see. No more Snark's for me.
