Product review (5 stars): My favorite kitchen appliance!
I must say I was very surprised at all the bad reviews. We bought this little work horse about 1 year ago at Target after the ice maker in our fridge died. I hate having to deal with ice trays since I seem to be the only one in the family who knows how to refill them. We use this little machine every single day. I turn it on when I get up in the morning and turn it off before going to bed. We've had a few issues where the add water light came on when it didn't really need water, I just power it off or unplug it for a few minutes and then turn it back on and all is well. Occassionally it will turn itself off for some unknown reason. I just turn it back on and it works fine. The only issue I do have with it is that it is very hard to clean. It gets build up from our city water, even though we filter it before using it. I'm trying running a little vinegar through it right now to see if that will help. I was hoping to find a reviewer giving a tip on how to clean the machine, that was the only reason I came here today. If you're going to buy one of these, but it at Target where it is considerably cheaper. If/when this little machine bites the dust, I will definately be buying another. Well worth the money!
