Product review (5 stars): NewAir 100S a year on
bought it a year ago, was advised by friends not to leave it full (red light on) for any length of time. So after 1 year of smooth, no trouble ice making, I'm delighted with it. we've moved it from our RV to the house and back, it has traveled to Florida and Cal, been shut off for weeks, spent 2-days operating in 100f shaded heat outside at a party and lately has been operated in 45f in Ontario Canada (yes! we need ice up here). Give it about an 1/2 hour to cool everything down then watch it fill the basket in about an hour. from then on it makes a basket about every 45-60 mins. If you need 10-15 lbs of ice for a party, start the afternoon before, shut it off late that night, start it again the next morning, by Party time you'll have 20lbs easily. Great machine, don't abuse it and it won't let you down.

Thought I would up date my 2012 review.
It's now mid-october 2015. The ice maker is running as smooth as before. I've had absolutely no issues with it. I leave it in the cottage year round, we winterize for the winter months and shut off all power and heat to the place. I drain the ice maker in the sink, spray the insides with a bleach based cleaner, wipe it dry and leave it on the counter. Come May when we open up, I simply fill with purified water, turn it on, throw out the first batch of cubes and enjoy the martinis. I have a tip for future users.... when the red light comes on and I no longer need additional cubes, I hold the power button down until the light begins to slowly flash which tells me it's in sleep mode. I haven't read any other reviews since I purchased the NewAir, but I have been thoroughly impressed by the quality of the build, uniformity of the cubes and its reliability. No, I'm not an employee of the firm, nor a shareholder, but I am a fan.
