Had 2 of them. El cheapo kind (about $100). One lasted a year almost to the date, and the other lasted about 2 years. I loved having them, as I like a lot of ice in my sweet tea, however, I'm saving up to get a better one.
I would buy on price. I don't think the more expensive ones are any better than the less expensive ones.
They all appear to be made by the same company in China with cosmetic changes as specified by the company selling them.
I have worked on several over the years and they all had the same compressor and other parts.
The first one I had died in six months and the replacement in about 14 months. I repaired the second with parts from the first and it has been working for about five years now.
