Product review (2 stars): Noisy icemaker
I plugged in the icemaker and was surprised how noisy the cooling fan is. It does make ice fast, but here are the problems I found:
Ice cubes will quickly melt once they drop into the catch tray, and worse yet, they "freeze" together over time so you end up with
one huge blob of ice that is semi-frozen. The plastic must be cheap because it leaves a foul taste when you add ice cubes into tap water or bottled water. Add Coke and you will not care as the sugar etc. masks the foul taste.
I returned it and I was charged twice shipping cost, which I understand, but also $56 "restocking fee".
There was nothing to re-stock as I packed it perfectly in the original plastic wraps, with original tape in original
places, so that it does not have to be touched prior to sale to another customer. I used to design packaging so this was easy for me to do, my goal was to make sure the seller will not have to do anything - just sell it to another customer.
Altogether this experience cost me well over $120 in shipping and restocking charges, for icemaker that was around $200...
If you want clear ice that tastes good try something else, and save your hard earned money.
