Product review (5 stars): Great machine
Awesome little machine. Does exactly what it says it will do. Produces quite a bit of ice. We use a lot of ice during the summer. Parties, bbqs and just in general. The Avanti makrs enough ice for daily use plus enough to bag and keep it the freezer. I purchased ice bags that hold 10 lbs of ice. With the bbqs we've had and with daily ice use, I'm still able to bag 70 to 80 lbs of ice to keep in the freezer. No complaints so far.
Update: I've had this icemaker for 2 years now. Never had a problem with it. It just keeps on producing ice. I recently purchased an MRP portable ice maker. It's a little larger and makes larger, bullet sized ice compared to the Avanti IM12-IS. Both great little machines.
