Product review (2 stars): Worked great, until it broke.
After almost a year of service (IN WARRANTY) the arm that raises up and closes the water tray around the freezing poles broke. The manufacturer won't return my inquires about getting any warranty service, and now this thing is a $270 paperweight. The cheap plastic gears probably stripped, not that this thing is serviceable in any way.

It worked just fine too - made lots of ice in decent time - before it broke.
