Product review (3 stars): Ice for Arizona Summer
This is a necessity in the blast furnace of Arizona summer. It replaced another that just stopped working. This one makes ice, and pretty quickly for my needs. Except when it is awaiting attention by the ice guardian. It is not as noisy as it was at first, but the ice piles up pretty steeply, and then it stops to wait for a human to chop down the level. Or until it melts down, whichever comes first. I don't see the need for the three different cube sizes or the confusing timer setting. The best advice I got (thank you fellow posters) was to make sure the snowflake was flashing, otherwise it is just sitting, waiting for instructions. But it does seem to be doing the job of getting me through the six months of Arizona summer. Just not necessarily on its own.
