Product review (1 stars): Major Design Flaws
Alas, let me count the ways.  Utilizes a crude water sensor that cannot even detect bottled water.  Consequently, must use tap water which contains higher total dissolved solids (TDS).  The higher the TDS, the lower the freezing point of water.  Normally, this isn't a big deal.  But this water maker is designed to make ice gradually to ensure dissolved air is released. So it is already extremely slow at making ice, and the higher TDS only makes makes it slower.  Water is pumped from an active reservoir and flow outs of small holes in horizontal tube where it cascades over gold painted plastic hollow cubes.  The higher TDS causes holes to get clogged every 4-5 uses, which then requires flushing with vinegar.  The vinegar and higher TDS accelerate corrosion, and the gold paint starts coming off the hollow cubes.  The sole drain plug is made of non durable gummy polymer, and once the lip of the gummy plug tears off, the plug is nearly impossible to remove.  If it becomes lodged inside plastic tube, good luck.  Horrible design.
