Product review (5 stars): So Far, So Good, and a Great Price
If you want to skip all my whining and cut to the chase, just read the last two paragraphs.

My Frigidaire Gallery series refrigerator came with our house, and was about a year and a half old when we moved in. Its upper ice maker was already having some problems. Apparently something was frozen, because after we had a 3 day mid-summer power outage and everything thawed, it started working again, but was still unreliable.

We would occasionally find pieces of plastic and styrofoam mixed in with our ice. After my wife choked on one of the pieces of plastic, I researched this problem online and found out that it was very common. There were even grumblings of starting a class-action suit! I contacted Frigidaire, and of course they said they had never heard of any problem like this before. I told them about my wife choking and said that I could be convinced not to pursue further action if they could just ship me a new ice maker. I am qualified and able to install it myself. They said the best they could do was to give me a 10% discount if I wanted to purchase a new one from them. This still made it over twice the cost of this one.

Once the ice maker quit working completely, I took it apart to see what was wrong. The ice cube tray had cracked, and each time it filled with water, all the water would run down into the ice storage bin, which became one big block of ice. This fridge-glacier expanded the bin and it would not come out until I thawed it out some. This seemed like a lot of hassle for a fridge that was now around 3 years old. The one at our old house was over 20 years old, and still working great - including the in-the-door ice dispenser.

When I was comparing replacement ice makers on Amazon, I was skeptical of this one because the price was much lower than any of the others. Based on the few reviews it had at the time, I went ahead and bought it. When it arrived, I removed the old one and compared them side by side. The new one looked identical to the OEM one in every way. It was easy to install and fit perfectly.

It has been in service for about 2 months now, and makes ice like crazy. It got put to the test over the holidays as we had a large number of guests for Christmas, New Years, and a couple other gatherings. So far it has worked perfectly. I will update this review after we see how well it holds up over time. At this point I would recommend this product, but I'm not so sure about the fridge itself.
