Product review (5 stars): Hydration Station
We live in Phoenix. This ice maker has been running all summer long. We refer to it as a part of our hydration station now. This and our water cooler are in constant use. It makes three sizes of cubes. Small, medium and large.
- Update 3/26/16 -2  Failed, trying to get a replacement...... I'll wait with the PI mod on knowing if I can send it back.
Update 11/30/16 - I got the replacement part that I needed under warantee in good time. I was able to replace the main board myself.
Since we bought this, it has failed four times. Once the main controller board failed and twice I had to take the water pump out and clean it. Small particles clogged the motor and it failed to pump enough water.
The fourth failure was catastrophic. The water container housed in the top section where the ice is made developed a crack. The water would drain and the ice that was made was only about 1/4 inch tall. I tried to fix it, but this time my handyman skills were at their limit. (30 years of electronic / computer repair)
After consulting with my family. *We have come to love the convenience of having ice all the time made from clean pure water*, we decided to purchase a second IP210SS1 with a 3 year coverage. Even with the small repairs I've had to do on this device, I still give it 5 stars. We live in Phoenix and use it year round, non-stop.....
