Product review (1 stars): Almost DOA - lasted a few minutes and made one 'batch' before dying.
I knew this was a refurbished unit, but it made exactly one batch of small ice 'cubes' (hollow actually) before the compressor or control circuitry failed. I returned it. There are so many other brands that look the same and I expect they are all made the same internally as this one, so I will be shopping for something that looks different and is NOT refurbished based on better product reviews.
