Product review (5 stars): Great Product
I am extremely happy with this icemaker, now that I've experimented with it and read other reviews.

Out of the box, set it up and waited the half hour for the refrigerant to settle. Included was a plastic bag containing what looked like a tiny stopper, but there was nothing in the instructions relating to it. Before calling the seller, I read all the Amazon reviews and found one that explained it was a replacement drain plug (which is covered by a screw-on cap).

After cleaning the unit, filling it with water, and pressing the start button, it began working, but immediately stopped with a "low water" alarm. I figured it needed to prime the pump, so I unplugged it and started over. It has run flawlessly since.

It takes about 75 minutes (about 9 cycles) to fill the basket with small cubes. Each cycle produces 9 cubes. The cubes are frosty, not clear as one reviewer posted. I store the unused cubes in the freezer in ziplock bags, as the cubes do agglomerate. I can easily break them apart by slamming the bag on the counter.
