This replaced a larger ice maker (NewAir 35 lbs of ice). While the size is ok for 2 of us, it does not make as much ice per cycle. So, if we have a number of people over we have to start making ice earlier. Also, this Igloo ice maker is a bit noisy during initial usage. Sounds like a loose cooling fan. Seems to have quieted a tad, but we’ll see if it improves with time. Not sure it lives up to reviews.
