Product review (1 stars): NewAir A1-200SS and A1-200W Ice Makers
About a year ago I purchased a A1-200SS maker.  After working OK for about 6 months I purchased another, a A1-200W for a sick friend with cancer and gave it to her (her ice maker had failed).  Not more than 45 days afterwards the A1-200SS I had failed to a broken motor drive tab on the ice bucket.  Low and behold, not 30 days after that, the A1-200W which I had given my sick friend failed for the same reason, a broken motor drive tab on the ice bucket.  In looking around for repair parts I found replacement ice buckets for similar machines (Maytag, Magic Chef, etc.) which I think will work but supplier can't tell me about it working in a NewAir for sure, so I haven't committed to trying one as a replacement item for mine, to the tune of $18.00 plus almost $7.00 for shipping with me making the repair.  I'm very disappointed in both units and because I purchased two of them and both failing to the same problem, I'm sure there are many others out there experiencing the same problem I experienced.  Good money down a bad hole I think.  However, after seeing my unit my daughter purchased a similar unit, a Magic Chef, and it has continued to work fine for 8 months now (Hope/Hope/Hope).  In appearance they all look as if they're made by the same people, just putting different names and labels on them.  I'm very disappointed in the NewAir units (purchasing 2 units and both failing to the same problem).  I do not recommend them to anyone.  Frank
