Product review (3 stars): Ok for now,  but will it last?
Why four stars?  Because to make 26 pounds, you must stay up watching, emptying  and filling it. I use it for large cubes and it works well.  Expect the first load to take more time,  it must cool the take-up basket.  Once going, it keeps pumping them until it runs out of water.  Compared with others, it is somewhat quieter. The scoop useless, it is too small.  I dump the finished ice into a container and put in the freezer to get colder.  You will need an ice pick to break the cubes up after about 20min. I usually keep one zipper bag (1gal) to store the ice to get it down th freezer temp.  Then, just crash things up in the bag by hitting it on the counter.

This ice maker uses a standard design.  It is the third one I have purchased.  The other two died.  One by a. mechanical issue in removing the ice; the second by a faulty relay that made it think it was full.  I don't know if the innards are the same as the other two.  If it is (and it looks the same from the outside), then I got the extended warranty.
