Product review (5 stars): Liking this better than the other brand that I had previously.
So far, I love this ice machine.  Easy to use and the ice cubes are a little larger than my previous machine made.  Also, my previous machine died before it even reached 1 year.  I'm hoping this one lasts longer.
One of the best features is the drain plug which my last machine didn't have either which made cleaning the unit difficult.  This has it's own self cleaning.  Love it!!
