Product review (1 stars): Biggest regret, cause of many headaches. Spend a few more $$ for a unit that actually delivers.
Where to begin. 1) It is incredibly loud - someone in the next room thought it was a lawn mower from outside since the window was open. 2) It leaks everywhere if the power goes out and then comes back on. For example, the power went out one day so we dumped the ice bin to make sure nothing leaked. The power went back on and water started leaking everywhere - this happened twice so far, both times our power went out during this storm season. At this point I do not feel comfortable having the unit on if nobody is home. 3) The unit does not keep the ice cold enough so it melts very quickly and is running constantly to generate more ice (problem since it is so loud - you do not want to be in the same room as this thing when it is generating - louder than our garbage disposal). The ice lays there in big sheets that you have to break up with the scooper. Not the end of the world but just an eye rolling piece of icing on the cake. The pros are that it is attractive looking in my kitchen and I suppose it does make ice, so that is a plus?
