Product review (5 stars): Help!  What do I do with all this ice?
We took delivery of this little giant & replaced our 7 year old Kitchenaide built-in which, unbelievably, is not worth repairing.  It was a cinch to hook up and didn't require a licensed plumber, as the instructions advocated.  To be honest, though, I already had the lead from the water line for the original ice-maker ready to use.  This would require a plumber to provide if you didn't have one.  Do use, however, a brass coupling nut instead of the plastic one it comes with, and do use plumbers tape to wrap the threaded brass intake fitting on the machine.  Within 40 minutes the SPT was making usable ice, and a day later the entire bin was totally full of perfect little half moon ices- more than the two of us could use in a week. Moreover, the ice stays frozen and doesn't melt down the drain-it doesn't waste water.  My only complaint is the small size; I now have to shrink the under counter opening on each side and provide a riser for it to look right.  I just hope it lasts.
