Product review (4 stars): Broken screen, but GREAT at making ice!?!?!  Will update with confirmation of product support!
Ok, My wife wrote the review and I agree that it's nice to have.  VERY NICE, but the screen isn't working right.  I had debated getting the one without the fancy screen but I tried this one instead.  We've both been busy and away unable to catch up and contact the seller about the problem with the screen, and soon as we know how that is handled, we will update this.  Even if we get no help, and it stays like it is, making ice reliably, I can handle no auto timing.  I really like this and it was too cool to get it literally the day before our ice maker in the refrigerator quit due to a leak.  This one did literally outrun the built in ice maker 3 to 1 the first day when they were both running all day.  So If you're interested in one of these, they are great.  Save your money though and get one without a screen and go with the simple one with size of cube selection.

This is great for people that do not have an automatic ice maker or go on trips and have to purchase ice frequently. We go on trips a lot so figured we would get this to help fill our coolers. A couple days after getting it, our automatic ice maker stopped working. So this came in handy. It makes a cupful of ice every 9-10 minutes and fills the interior bucket each hour, needing emptied. Although it is not a big basket inside to hold ice, it does the job. Every 2 hours it needs refilled with water. There is a timer that you can set for what time to start making ice and when to stop as well as an option to make small, medium or large cups of ice.
Sadly, After using it for only 3 days the display on the outside has malfunctioned and is not working properly, however it still makes ice, but I cannot set the timer or the clock on the outside.

*Disclaimer* I received this product at a discount or in some cases for free for my evaluation, use and subsequently my HONEST and UNBIASED review.  I REFUSE to rank something 5 stars just because it arrived on time and in good condition.  That to my understanding is for use with the seller rating system and I shall reflect such ratings where deserved there.

I myself have not found a program that does not require you to review the item you get.  So if someone says they do not have to review the item they got discounted or free, Id question their honesty

  If you have rated something on Amazon yourself, if you hover the mouse over the stars they each reflect a suggested level relating to your like or dislike of said product.  I will reserve 5 stars for something that I genuinely think people of similar interest will love.

  I will not review items the day I receive them and actually use them a few days to get a feeling of how well they are constructed and how well they work before sharing my experience. Though Im glad theres a system in place for people to get discounts to review products, I feel that the feedback on amazon is becoming littered with people simply sharing 5 star reviews disingenuously in exchange for free or cheap goods. It is due to this flood of reviews I feel the need to create this disclaimer since many glowing reviews are simply glowing from the sparkle in someones eyes at getting a good deal. I will not post photos on a review just to get credit for posting a photo review.  If there is a lack of photos or I feel a photo or video is needed to convey a pro or con that was unexpected with the product, then and only then will I add such to my review.  Likewise if the product differed from the listing photo, I'll add a photo if there are none at the time of my review.

It is in the interest of being open and honest that I feel the need to include this disclaimer with my review.  If someone has stated an item is great just so they could get a freebie, it does no help to fellow amazon shoppers.  I value my time and I am not going to waste time putting bogus reviews up.  Your time is just as valuable, so I would like to thank you for reading this completely so you can be enlightened when you see other reviews that were the result of a product/review exchange.
