i just got mine yesterday earlier afternoon i let it sit like it says in the manual for 24hrs i then ran a cleaning cycle through it i noticed that if you only fill it up to just before where it starts to dip on about a half inch below the fill line your ice wont come out wet when you move the basket of ice to a bag for freezing it in the freezer also for those having trouble with the sensors in it if you take a qtip an just put 1 end in alcohol an gently wipe the sensors with it an then use the other end to dry them off that will fix the problem i use only jugs of filtered drinking water in mine you can get it at walmart for a 108 a gallon mine has been making clear ice since i started it an i plan on leaveing it on all the time only time will tell how long this machine will last hopefully a long time cause i have a small fridge an no room for ice trays nor bags of ice as for my drinks it keeps them nice an cold i use soda pop right out of the box an it gets cold thanks to the ice this machine makes real fast so am really happy an will recommend this machine to any one who needs ice but has no room for it like meupdate i have read all the reviews regarding this machine an see many people complaning about the ice not lasting very long in the basket an also about it coming out wet if you have yours in the kitchen where a lot of heat is generated from the stove an other appliances then the heat is what is making the ice melt real fast my ice maker is on the dinning room table away from the kitchen an the ice doesnt melt very fast an i am making small ice not big so the basket is filling up faster than i can use it but it is staying cold an unless i wait several hours it is not melting away my machine made a full basket in only 40 mins an then stopped because the basket was full i took a nap an still woke up to it still saying it was full also the ice doesnt melt very fast in my on the go tumbler i still have a 34 full of ice after drinking all of my pop so if you want the ice to last longer i suggest you move it out of the kitchen an put it somewhere that is away from any heat an you will be suprised at how long the ice lastsupdate i have had this ice maker going nonstop for almost a week now an it is working great i have found out that for people who are using it an then turning it off that everytime you turn it off an then on again that you are sending a surge through the system which shortens the life of the ice maker if you want it to last a long time that you need to let it run 247 i also have discovered that if you like fountain drinks like you buy at places like mc donalds an convience stores it is best to use the small setting also the large setting is good for putting in coolers that you take when you go on picnics an camping to keep food an fish if you like going fishing to keep them fresh both small an large melt at the same rate i know this cause i have tried both in drinks the ice maker keeps the ice good over night i have mine running 247 an every morning wake up to 34 of the basket full of ice i believe it is because of where i have mine sitting away from any heat source as soon as i can i am going to buy another one for the future an would highly recommend this black ice maker to everyone just remember to leave it running 247 an it will last a long time the ice has been melting so slow that i have had to add water 3 times in just 1 week so those that have said that the ice melts to fast must have their ice maker next to a heat source cause the  ice does not melt fast enough to add to the water source to make more when it is not near a heat source so the conclusion is if you want a lot of ice an you want it to last place your ice maker in the dinning room or in the bathroom or some other room away from any sunlight or other source of heat also the ice maker keeps the ice frozen just like as if it came from a fridge freezer an it is just as hard as if you took it out of one i know cause i did a test to find out i love this little ice maker alot an i know if you follow my suggestions you will tooupdate well i have had it running nonstop 247 now for over a month an it is still working this is the best 108 i have ever spent i have had no problems what so ever with it i just keep it full of water an it keeps making ice for me i love this ice maker an have been telling my friends to get one cause it will save you alot of money on buying ice from the storesupdate well my ice maker is still going strong an is making this summer alot more enjoyable i just let it run all the time an scoop out ice when i need it cause i only occasionally move the ice in the basket to make room for more in it by breaking up what little bit has started melting so it only runs when i do that so it is not being over worked which is why i think some are not lasting very long is cause they are being made to produce a full basket all the time instead of just a little an then getting a break bye letting some of the ice melt a little i love my ice maker an i will buy another 1 to put back for when this one finally quitsupdate well it is september 4th an my ice maker is still going strong an is producing a lot of ice so get one cause i believe this ice maker will last a long time if properly taken care of an maintained my ice maker is working just like it did when i first got it there has been no changes in performanceupdate the fan on the side has started to quit working an i have had to use a knife to move the fan blades to get it to work it starts to work again an then quits i have asked for a replacement an was told i have to ship it back which is a hassle so i am throwing it in the garbage an buying 1 from walmart instead  cause their customer service is better an i dont have to go through the hassle of shipping it back i just take it to the local store if asked but usually they just give me a refund i will not be recommending this ice maker to anyone
