I have had this ice maker for about a month.  I think it works very well.  It does a pretty good job keeping ice frozen.  If it sits for several hours it starts to melt a little on the bottom layer.  But it just makes more ice cubes anyway because it just melts into the water below the tray.  I love it.  It’s a nice supplement.  (I added the velcro sticker for the scoop to hang that is seen in the picture.)
