Product review (2 stars): Fool me once--shame on you.  Fool me twice-- shame on me!
This is the second NewAir portable ice maker I've owned.  The first one I loved, but after a year, it died, so I purchased this one-- shame on me!

 This one is extremely noisy, but I liked the appearance, the choice of ice cube sizes , ease of adding the water, and the ease of merely lifting the top and scooping ice out.  Unfortunately, this time, it only lasted four months!  When I checked on repairs (both NewAirs), I learned that it would be more expensive to repair than to buy a new one because of the difficulty of getting "inside" to work on it.

I'm in the market for another portable ice maker, but in spite of the likeable features, I'm not spending my money on a NewAir again!  Sorry NewAir!
