Product review (2 stars): Great product; works just fine.
The Ice maker arrived very well packed (at least I thought it did anyways).  I wasn't too keen on whatever they put on the steel (some blue plastic cover thing that you have to pull off though it was a minor issue), but it was fairly easy to take it off though there were certain areas that I could not pull it off the Ice maker so not really a big deal just annoying.  I ran the machine for a couple of times and threw out the ice just so that it gets broken in and if any tastes or smells linger they would go away though I noticed neither.  The Ice maker is very quiet all you hear is the ice dropping; the fan occasionally, and the pump as it draws water into the machine from the water well (or whatever you want to call it).  I've only had the ice maker for less than a month or so and so far have not noticed any problems, so only time will tell how it holds up (and any updates that I add later on down the road).  It looks like a well put together product even for one coming out of China which nowadays seems like just about everything else although I did wipe down the inside of the product as there was some kind of stain (dirt or something else I don't know that got past the quality control point) in it that wiped up fairly easy enough.  The ice doesn't have any weird taste that I can detect and everything seems to be in working order so far.  I would recommend this product to others.

Update December 27th 2012

The ice maker now automatically switches to the smallest type of ice tube/cube (whatever you want to call it) size.  The clean function doesn't even work.  When it worked; it worked great, now that it has started to act up it's a pain in the proverbial rear end.  When I purchase another ice maker machine I won't be buying it from this company.  I've only had this one for under a year and a half though I was hoping to have it in good working order for at least 5 years.  If you are thinking of purchasing this product look elsewhere.
