I had one for my home, and one for my office.
Pros: they make these ring-shaped cubes that are great in drinks. They make ice pretty fast.
Cons: They don't keep the ice frozen.
Overall, I liked mine. One died, a coworker took the other one home when we closed the office to work from home.
I may get another one some day.
Mine were from EdgeStar, but are EXACTLY like the Emerson.

One was grey, and the other was stainless.
