Product review (4 stars): Ice Follies
2nd Update:  Bad unit picked up Tuesday.  New unit arrived Thursday.  I let it sit for 24 hours (as recommended), hooked it up an hour ago, and it's dumped four sets of cubes so far!  Cubes are clear, machine is relatively quiet.  Kudos to Edgestar and CompactAppliance for quick service.

Update:  Monday afternoon a return authorization was issued, so I'm packing it all back up for pickup and a new unit eventually.  Two stars instead of one.  Stay tuned.

Previously:  Well, so far it's not making ice.  It runs fine, dribbling water over the evaporator, but it shuts off before any ice forms, and the blinking red light in the rear control panel indicates it thinks the ice bucket is full.

Also, the On/Off button is either installed upside down, or it's wired backwards.  On is Off, and Off is On.

And, while we're at it, the thing did arrive with some minor dents in it that I was willing to overlook if it produced ice, but which are now looming larger in the realm of my overall satisfaction.

Have left an email with EdgeStar support, but it's the weekend, and so we'll see how it goes.
