Product review (1 stars): Such Junk
Our National Guard unit is currently serving in Afghanistan and amazingly, ice here is hard to find.  So...I did what the next guy would do and started searching the internet for a compact and convenient ice maker.  I decided on this product by luck of the draw I guess, and it was bad luck that I ended up purchasing.  This piece of crap failed to work right of the box after following the instructions exactly.  I contacted customer service at Emerson to see what they could do for us.  Well, turns out that since the item was shipped out of the U.S to us here in Afghanistan, the warranty is now void and there is nothing they can do.  So much for standing behind their product!  So, needless to say, this is the last item I will be purchasing from Emerson.  Well, since the warranty is now void, we employed our electricians to troubleshoot the unit and possibly repair it.  Well, it turns that the compressor motor is siezed which in turn burnt a portion of the circuit board.  Repairing the circuit board was quite easy, however, the compressor motor is a different animal.  Amazingly, this so called "brand new" product arrived to us in an unusable condition and the manufacturer refuses to warranty it.  As far as we are concerned, Emerson can keep their junk and their slogan, " We at Emerson Radio are committed to your satisfaction and will work diligently to help satisfy your needs" is a bunch of crap!
