I never had an ice maker, so I reviewed each one and decided on the Newair Al-100 Series. I am so happy that I chose this Ice Maker. From the moment I turned it on, it started making ice bullets. Each size is delightful and it is amazing how often it produces ice and just doesn't stop. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this Ice Maker to anyone who wants to have basket after basket of ice for any occasion, regardless of the size.
