Product review (2 stars): Disappointed it only lasted 3 weeks
I was Super excited when we first got this ice maker. Followed all the directions and set it up within minutes. Had our first batch of ice in 10 minutes. Tried all 3 size settings. Love that it is bullet ice and best type of ice for those who like to chew ice. Absolutely loved this ice maker!! Used it as a replacement for our freezer ice.
However, we had it 3 weeks and it stopped working. It just died :(  I thought that this was made to make ice and would last far longer than 3 weeks. Very disappointed.

 It has 3 settings for ice: small medium and large.  There really isn't a huge difference in the size of the ice. They are all bullet shaped and come out the same length. The medium and large ice come out thicker than the small size ice. Making small ice takes the shortest amount of time = roughly 6 minutes.  The largest ice takes about 9 minutes to make.

There is a Led light to show when the ice basket is full and also when water needs to be added. If you refill the bottom when the light is on, the machine will automatically sense more water. But it takes a while to do that. If you need more ice right away, then you will have to power the machine off and back on -- I think they should come up with a better way then this -- just my opinion.

If you power the machine off then it will dump whatever ice is currently being made at the time. If you leave the machine on it will automatically stop making ice when the basket is full.
The bin can easily come out to either dump the ready ice into another bucket or freezer, or simply to refill the bottom area with water. There is a drain located on the left side (same side as the fan motor). Be careful when emptying the water that you do not spill water into the fan motor - this will probably kill your machine. So don't try to dump out the water, use the drain plug instead.
