Product review (4 stars): Purchased as a replacement for Avalon Bay Icemaker, So far has worked well
After returning TWO Avalon Bay Icemakers, the first with a bad fan bearing, the second that was poorly assembled and had condensation on the outside, it was suggested I try this unit in place of the Avalon Bay AB-ICE26S. this review will compare the two machines

First the NewAir water reservoir, hold 2 liters of water, compared to one liter in the smaller machines. The ice basket is bigger, and holds more ice. I did manage to crack the ear on the ice basket attempting to remove it with ice in it, I was sent a replacement fairly rapidly.

The NewAir is a much larger machine physically, the exhaust is on the left rear, near the top, which required finding a new location than the Avalon which was on the right side of the machine. Both machines only make 9 cubes at a time. The three sizes of ice are not any benefit as the largest is still pretty small. The NewAir will keep up with a family's ice needs during the day and evening. Remelting if turned off overnight

One difference with the Avalon is that the switch to turn off ice production is some type of thermal probe above the top right of the ice bin. So it is possible to have the machine stop making ice before it has filled the basket if an ice-cube lands on it or wedges itself on top of the switch ( it looks like a one inch stainless tube,  the diameter of a pen. Removing the lodged cube will cause the unit to restart, albeit slowly as the thermal switch has to warm itself to signal the machine to restart making ice.

Everything is sort of slow, the machine does not respond quickly to inputs, adding water when the indicator light goes on takes a couple of minutes to clear...just be patient.

What I like is that this machine has worked without the problems the Avalon displayed. Have used it for 3 weeks now and this one is a keeper.
