Review 1 for Emerson Refurbished 11-3/4" 26-Lb. Freestanding Icemaker - Silver
Wow! This really works fast!
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Easy to operate
What's not so great: I wish the ice stayed colder longer in the unit.
I see that others have problems but mine is great. Maybe I haven't had it long enough. My sister is up for a visit and has watched how fast this works and wants me to order her one. It is so easy to operate. So far it is a little work horse. IF it continues to do this well I may not get the advantage icemaker in my Electrolux french door fixed!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use, good price. Clears up freezer space and hassle.
What's not so great: Takes up counter space.
Living in an apartment, it's a pain to make ice. I have to use ice cube trays, take up freezer space for the trays and then take up more space for the ice bin. This leaves me little room for food in my freezer. Although I lose some counter space with the ice maker, it makes up for a lot of hassle of making ice, frees up freezer space and makes life easier. We use a lot of ice.
This ice maker will make large ice cubes about every 15 minutes, so it makes a lot of ice very quickly.
This ice maker works like so: 1) you fill the maker with water, below the ice cube bin. 2) It draws the water into the freezing portion of the maker. 3) It deposits the ice in the bin.
Just to make things clear, the ice maker does not keep the ice frozen. It makes the ice continuously. The ice will melt slowly, and the melted ice will go back into the water reservoir.
Overall owning this ice maker for 6 months has been a pleasure. It hasn’t failed, stuttered or stopped working. I would recommend this ice maker to anyone. The price is way better than anywhere you will find.

What's great about it: price, durability, constant use
What's not so great: sometimes it can't keep up with use...
Let's face it, an icemaker that puts out restaurant quality ice is not going to be $99.
At first, I thought that the "chest" portion not being freezer cold would be bad, but mine just keeps on making ice. Sure it is "wet" ice as it is constantly melting back into the H2O reservoir and being made into new ice. We use it constantly and it is great for use when you need the additional ice.
We are adding a second unit for our office because the first one works so well.
Keep your expectations inline with the price and you will undoubtedly be satisfied with your purchase.
Enjoy!

My unit worked 3 times and then nothing, so I called emerson to try and have it fixed, They informed me they do not sell this item to best buy that best buy gets it from some other third party vendor. Emerson does not refurbish these units. So who knows who actually refurbishes them. Emerson stated Best Buy is not an authorzed seller of this product so there is nothing they can do to help. So I contacted best buy for help and they refferred me to Emerson. I wish that someone would stand behind their product and assist the consumer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Price - sort of.
What's not so great: Quit working after 1 week
This product worked fine for the first week. Then it abruptly quit. Nothing. Just sits there. Great Paperweight.
If I could go lower than one star for quality and performance, I would. It should be zero stars.
Best Buy is supposed to send me a return label, etc, but so far, nothing. I cannot recommend Emerson. I went to Amazon and bought a new ice maker for just $15 more than this refurbished unit.

What's great about it: Value for price, low power consumption.Holds almost 3 quarts of water so less refilling needed.
What's not so great: Ice is wet and porous.
The first unit shipped out was incomplete and didn't work. Best Buy was great and shipped a replacement before the original was returned. The second unit looked like brand new, no visible signs of ever being out of the box.
It is a good value for extra ice especially if you are located in an area where it is inconvenient to run to the corner for a bag of ice. It is fast on making ice but it is a very wet ice and it works better if placed in a bag in the freezer before use. The ice to me still has a strange taste after a month but it could be my water to be fair.
I use it to make ice for my coolers as we are full time RV'ers and it is great for this purpose. Another advantage is it is very conservative on its power needs and runs easily with a portable generator.. Over all satisfied and for approximately half price a good value. Especially with the backing of Best Buy.
