Product review (4 stars): This ice maker is not very loud and makes a good amount of ice quickly
My family uses a lot of ice and the ice maker in our fridge freezes over often. This ice maker is not very loud and makes a good amount of ice quickly. I have had to clean it twice out since owning it a few days after the first clean out from unpacking. The reservoir will catch anything that might fall in from scooping the ice changing the flavor even though the filter will keep it from going through. Shipping had the box tilted more than the 45deg I saw in other reviews so I waited 2 hours for chemicals to settle no issues on startup nice and quiet. Planing on using for trips takes up the same space as a small bread maker and gets used a lot more often. Would rate higher but the rate at which the unused ice melts turns the ice into clumps and having to find a way to store the ice scoop near and clean just annoying (a small clip hook anything would have been nice) inside the ice tray just ends up with a half full ice tray saying it's full. So other then minor issues yes the ice melting is a small matter due to shape being easy to break up clumps and will just melt to reservoir and be refrozen quickly. The more ice it has and melts the cooler it gets the faster and more efficient it works.
