Product review (1 stars): Koldfront/Emerson Portable Ice Makers
This is part of an email I wrote to technical support for this appliance. ....I recently returned an Emerson portable ice maker. It was an "out of the box"  failure.. I purchased it to replace a Koldfront which I have had for less than a year before it crashed.....same machine., but marketed under 2 different names!!!!!!!!  You were kind enough to send me a replacement ice case, which I installed over the course of 2.5 hours to fix the Koldfront!!!  It was working fine for about 90 minutes until the blinking red ice light started up....Nowhere in the troubleshooting instructions provided with the machine is a dreaded blinking red light indicated....You sent me pages of instructions to attempt to correct the problem.....The problem is still there...Folks, I can't  make repairing this machine my life's goal.....  It is not an issue of money....It is principle....This  product is extremely poor quality.........A warranty of 90 days for function.....attests to the poor quality of this appliance....attesting furthermore to MANUFACTURER'S lack of confidence in the product ...... I would love to have said that Compact Appliance (Edgestar?) support is wonderful.  Alas, that is not the case.....If you can't fix it yourself after 90 days you are out of luck.....Perhaps a simple mailing label to return the item would have gone a long way for customer support for an otherwise poor appliance!!!!
Save your money....
