Product review (5 stars): Buy this, the real thing. It's cheaper in the long run.
I live in Arizona. We go through ice every day like crazy. I had this same Ice maker in Washington state for years and never had an issue. In Arizona, I think I'm on my fourth one.

I tried some cheaper knockoffs. They were half the cost or less. They didn't last. This one seems to be holding on much longer. It also seems to be keeping up, making ice faster. So, when it does wear out, think I'll reorder it again.
