Product review (5 stars): Loved it
Unlike the other people I bought the unit December 2012, I have used it a lot, kept it making ice all the time. It has lasted 3 years. Maybe the difference is I used Distilled water ( WalMart brand that has less minerals , good quality for what i used it for). My water has a lot of minerals in it and can not be used in something like an ice maker. I believe my choice to use Distilled water is why mine has lasted this long.  It just quit but I feel 3 years is good for anything made in this day and time. You might think your water is good but most all city water really is not good to run through a machine, especially when you ask it to make 3 baskets of ice per day every day for 3 years. If you don't believe me have your water tested. I went through 1-2 gal per week, that is 1.60 (for 2 gal) per week, for me it was worth it.
