    The plug CONSTANTLY comes disconnected from the plug handle and gets stuck inside the unit. I have to use a needle nose pliers to dig the plug out every single time I use the item.

    I loved this when I purchased it. It worked really good till it stopped working. I didn’t get the extended warranty so that didn’t help me out. I literally only was able to use it for a few months.

    Maybe my expectations were too high for this little icemaker, but honestly, the puny amount of ice it makes per batch is laughable. I cannot imagine the scenario where this is a useful product, I mean like 1/2 cup per batch and then it starts melting right away because the containment area is not insulated.

    Open box items marked as excellent is expected to be received with an 'excellent' rate of quality. This product is nowhere near that quality and I am highly disappointed in this order. I have just got back to town and was able to only now see my order- or course a few days late of returning the product. Had the prpduct condition been marked to match the actual quality i would have been fine obviously. But something marked as excellent but receiving something that looks as if it has been taken out of a dumpster and used as an experiemental project by some back alley inhabitant is quite disappointing especially by Best Buy standards. Heck whoever or whatever took it apart and put it back together left out some screws, something looks pretty backwards, some mismatched screws, along with a whole unit that doesn't function and is cracked. As i am stuck with the darn thing i suppose we shall call it the Frankenstein dumpster ice machine.. that doesn't function nearly as good as Frankenstein did.

    This is not a great substitute for a refrigerator with a built-in ice maker. This unit can barely keep up with two of us and it makes what can describes as soggy, half-formed ice cubes. We had purchased a different brand from Best Buy about 5 years ago; I wish we still had that one instead of this one.

    Floating plastic in ice

    While it quickly makes ice, the plastic inside flecks off somewhere in the process and ends up floating in your drink. For the price, it’s ok, but if you aren’t ok fishing out the plastic pieces, I’d advise another ice maker.

    This is my 3rd portable ice maker to own. for the most part, they last a year since I use mine every day. All have been different brands and small. This one has a small water reservoir and ALWAYS needs water. Very inconvenient.

    Was great for 1 year and 46 days and then it stopped working, of course it was 46 days past warrenty, cost to much to fix so in the trash it goes. Unless you buy an extended warranty, I would not buy but with a warranty, I guess you can get a new one every year or so if you buy a warranty...

    Very good while it lasted! It died at about 14 months. Right after the warranty expired. Go figure! Vary sad because we all relied it on constantly! Probably won't buy again without a warranty.
