Product review (4 stars): Emerson Ice Maker does what we need, MAKES ICE!
I love the Emerson ice maker. We've just made our very first pile of ice. We made a gallon of ice and stored it in plastic bags in our freezer. We are hoping to be able to run it once a week, perhaps twice at the most and stockpile the ice.

The rubber feet stunk badly, so we would not bring it into our home. We left it in our Florida Room. We were able to very easily remove the four rubber feet and replace them with sliders, so it would be easy to slide when filled with water/ice. Then we also noticed that the plastic drain plug also smelled fairly badly. We have family with Asthma in our home and have to be very careful of everything we bring into it.

We were very thankful that we couldn't bring it into our home. It runs very hot, throws out a lot of hot air. It heated up our entire Florida Room. Down here in Florida, we don't need any more HEAT!!

So..... we gave it four stars because of the heat and the nasty smells. I wonder why companies must attach god-awful smelly things to their products. Haven't they ever heard of Asthma or Allergies!?

We loved using the thing, it makes great hollow ice cubes very quickly, and is easy to run and use. So, if I had to buy another one, I would, even if I had to remove the smelly, rubber footsies.
