Product review (5 stars): very nice machine and purchasing experience!
we got our ice machine a couple of days ago and it is working great. Two really good things about our purchase -- (1) Think Gizmos -- the seller sent us an email with instructions about starting the machine that were completely helpful (especially let it sit for a while before starting). I let ours sit overnight (2) throw away the first couple or three batches of ice so the ice is clean. The other great thing about this machine is that it is very quiet!! This is not my first rodeo with ice machines -- some are hideously loud. This one is lovely and quiet -- very nice looking too.
