Product review (1 stars): Very small and didn't work
I am sending this back tomorrow. I have purchased several portable ice makers over the last 8 years. They will last on the average of 2 yrs if you use them everyday like we do. I cannot hook up an ice maker in my ref. even though our new frig. is made to hook one up. Therefore, if we want ice cubes this portable one is what we have to use. This is the first time I have purchased the RCA ice maker and first of all it is smaller than the other ones we purchased but, that is no problem since there are only two of us. However, I plugged it in, put in water and it would not start. I read troubleshooting and it said to unplug, turn off, drain some water out of plug and try to restart. I put more water in plugged it back in and restarted. Nothing did this two more times. Finally it made a bucket of ice. By morning it was all gone. I tried to make more ice. Nothing I could do would make it work again. I do mean nothing. I contacted Amazon and they are taking it back. Since it is really so, small and I don't trust this brand I decided to just try a totally different one. I am hoping the insurance I took out will pay for the return shipping too. We shall see.
