Product review (5 stars): this makes ice and water taste like a horrible mix of plastic and rubber
this makes ice and water taste like a horrible mix of plastic and rubber, and that was after several days of emptying and scrubbing the whole thing out to get residue out of it.

EDIT

i decided to try to get this machine working correctly. i completely drained it, including through the water dispenser, and then wiped it down with very diluted soap and water, and then thoroughly wiped it out. then i i cycled through about a gallon of vinegar, followed by 2 gallons of water that i dumped the ice out to get the vinegar completely rinsed. there is now no plastic taste, the ice is great! the water is clear and tastes like water is supposed to taste. i think there was an oily residue that was inside the water reservoir when i got it. while i did wipe it out and made a few cycles of ice to "clean" it, it could have been my error in not thoroughly cleaning it before trying the ice and water. i gladly give 5 stars, and if this machine lasts a year or two i will be pleased to buy it again.

Edited again 5/30/17: machine no longer makes ice.
