This is a good ice machine.  It lasted about 2 years before a piece broke and needed fixed.  Went ahead and bought another one because I liked it so much.  Gave my other to a friend who ended up fixing it for me so now I have two.  Good to have spare on hand.  Bought 2nd one through Walmart because I got cash back through eBates and Wayfair didn’t offer any cash back at that time.  They seldom do but are listed with eBates. Anyway I bought exact same one.  Same model.  My friend said when he got how to repair it off you tube that it said is common in this model for what broke.  I use it daily everyday and make around 2 gallon bags of ice.  Really love lots of ice.  Dog does to.  So ice maker may last longer than two years if not used as much.  Still would buy a third if both were broke.  Just glad my friend knows how to fix things.  Love having a spare.
