Going to make this simple and sweet. My refrigerator's ice maker broke and I didn't want to spend $100's to get someone to fix it at the time. Also, the ice in fridge comes from my sink and the water is terrible, so the ice isn't great. Even with the fridge filter, the ice still tasted funny. So I decided to buy this NewAir 28LB Icemaker machine. I've had it for 8 months now and I've only had one problem with it once. One time I turned it on and I noticed the fan wasn't running. The unit was on and water had sucked up into the machine, but I wasn't sure if it would make any ice if the fan wasn't running. I turned it off and put it back on and the same thing happened. It still produced ice though. After about 30 mins, I turned it off and pulled the plug out on it. Let is sit for 15 mins. Then plugged it in and turned it back on. After about 5 mins the fan came back on and it's been working fine since. It constantly makes ice and only takes about an 45-60 mins to fill the tray. So in about 3-4 hrs my fridge is filled with ice and I don't have to worry about it for 4-5 days. I did get an extended warranty on it. So after a year is over, my extended warranty kicks in and if it breaks I can get it replaced or repaired for free. I'm hoping it never breaks though. Many reviewers have said theirs started to break 12-18 month after steady use. So we'll see. I'll update my review in about 6-8 months from now.
