Product review (1 stars): Grows molds
When I first purchased this I fell in love with it. In less than a year the motor caught fire. It was never exposed to heat or poor ventilation, simple sitting on the kitchen countertop.  The water sucks from the bottom of the pan. This area is difficult to clean. When not in use easy for mold to build. Cleaned several times. First using Mild dish soap and hot water to cleaned the surfaces only. Attempted vinager and baking soda with the use of pipe cleaners to clean reach the water tube (very difficult to reach). The water tube builds mold over time. Pipe cleaners were covered in BLACK gunk . Unable to disassemble for proper cleaning. Overall this is not going to last as a household ice machine for too long. Will not repurchase!!!
