Product review (4 stars): Ugly finish, but I peeled that of and got a stainless steel machine instead
It's haunted.  It chuckles and whispers and laffs.............  Shudder..........  Scares the crap outta everybody, including the dog.  Had it for about a year, maybe more, now.  No issues other than the dreadful ghost.

Apart from that, makes great ice.  Can't figure out how to clean it, tho'.
