Product review (2 stars): If you only need the machine to work for a year...
Given ti me as a gift from my wish list in Jan. 2017 ...worked great! Fast forward 1 year the machine goes through all the motions, fills, freeze and then just sits there. Never dumps the ice, until it is almost all the way melted then starts over. Very disappointed that I will now have to purchase a new machine.  Different brand of course.
