We've had the ice maker for about a month.  It replaced our old GE ice maker which finally died. The thimble-shaped cubes are less desirable than the old small squares but that's a personal preference, not a functional issue.  The only complaint is that it is SO loud when making and dropping the ice.  It can be heard all the way upstairs.  Other than the noise, which I think we'll eventually get used to, it's a good purchase.
