When it works properly it does a good job in making ice. It working properly is not all the time though. The blue light for ice bin full works sometimes, it does not come on at all or it flickers from bright blue to a dim barley lit. The ice quality also is an issue. Sometimes the ice cubes are half done and not full. The clear part of the ice is also sporadic. Like I said when it works properly this machine is great, but that is not all the time.
