Product review (1 stars): don't buy refurbished portable ice makers
Received my refurbished Emerson IM93B ice maker at the end of October 2017 and is no longer working as of December 31, 2017.  It was not used extensively, but often. Ice size indicator light is just blinking constant and doesn't turn on to freeze mode. Dead. When it did work, it was noisy and slow to make ice. It is heavy/awkward to move to sink to empty water between uses. However, the drain plug was easy to use (soft plug not screw type), therefore they get at least the 1 star.  So, I do not recommend this make or model.

I will never buy a refurbished ice maker again. Our first "brand new" ice maker of a different manufacturer made it 5 years of considerable use, but I couldn't find that ice maker again. Ultimately, my advice is to not buy "refurbished" on such a product or buy this one if you're in the market for a portable ice maker.  Spend the extra money on a new one, just not this one.
