I paid the 399 for mine last year. In fact I was so pleased with it's performance I bought a second one for my sister's family. Neither of us had any problem whatsoever. They had a real workout too with the winter being the worst in 20 years. It is the greatest machine ever!

No. Hard to believe but I did the exact same thing as you and just ate the extra charge. On re-order I carefully read the specs.

I noticed the same thing, but I'm lucky enough that Wegmans is carrying the 80 pack for 27.99

i was wondering the same thing. I paid about $30 for mine about 15+ years ago. Still works perfectly, but NOT worth $150.

Don't know answer, but I see two other people have answered this question. The better question is the "price" of this item! $25.00 for two is ridiculous...I remember when they were literally pennies a piece. I don't use the tops 'cuz I don't need them and getting out the frozen cubes are not as easy as they used to be because they now don't add the "lever" that you pull up to loosen the cubes. These seem to be the best there is, but I'm not at all sure they are worth it. At least the cubes are a good size, as opposed to what you get from an icemaker in todays fridges. Those cubes are basically non-existent..... Don't know answer, but I see two other people have answered this question.

Yes? Ridiculous isn't it? I paid $49.00 for the last one I bought. I have now surpassed the cost of the machine. I won't be buying anymore.

I agree wholeheartedly. I don't understand the price difference. I went out and bought it at my local Walmart for $3.87. If Amazon came anywhere close to that I would order it from them, but I can't justify the price right now.

I just bought this at Wal-Mart for $3! Why is it so ridiculously expensive here?!

I wonder if this is a knock-off. Hammacher Schlemmer calls their exact same barrel "Canadian Year Round Barrel" and charges $180. It describes why it won't freeze in their description - verbiage lacking from the Amazon description. Would you pay the extra $60 for a lifetime guarantee? I think I would.

I'll add another in the chorus of frustration here. . .I even had the stupid thing in my shopping cart from a couple of days ago because I was doing research on some other components I wanted to order at the same time. I got a "nice" message when I logged in today of the (multiple) price increases. Come on, Amazon, that's like walking up to someone in the store and putting a new sticker on something in their cart!!! On the bright side, however, this TV is $2,999 at Best Buy. . .and I'd have to pay 10% tax to boot!

I heard that Hurricane Sandy wiped out their storage unit of this product and were also in the middle of discussing combining their kettle with the formula dispenser so it made their decision to do this much easier...and to remake all that stock would have cost them lots of money. Stupid if you ask me. I have one of these kettles and I also use it to mix the cereals for baby too! So the one that is only for formula wouldn't work for me...and its almost $200! The kettle is much more affordable. "Why sell 1 painting for $5000 when you can sell 1,000,000 paintings for 5 cents?" Why don't they use this philosophy and bring back an affordable kettle!!!

You just asked exactly what I was thinking. I paid 14.99 for mine 2 years ago. OUCH!

I can't believe the current price! I bought this unit about three years ago for $100 and now the price has more than tripled? What gives, Amazon?

I ordered from Amazon for $45, and its the same exact thing as sold at Cabelas and Best Buy. Same Life proof packaging. Only difference is they want $80 for it.

Believe me you won't regret buying one. My freezer would do all kinds of stupid stuff like door light won't work freezer would be extremly cold and won't shut off or compressor wouldnt turn on. Every thing would run fine if I pull the control panel board. Until the next day it would act up... has to be a bad compassitor.

Forgot to mention I paid over $75 more for mine used through Warehouse Deals. It was just a dinged up box model, but I've never seen the price as low as it is now brand new, anywhere! Buy it fast, it's over $100 more mid-winter!
