Product review (4 stars): Love it!
I really like this ice maker. I have been wanting one for a long time but they were expensive and the reviews were confusing. Finally, when this one went on sale I bought it. My family goes through ice quickly and my refrigerator ice maker couldn't keep up so this supplements it.
Pros: about 30 min to fill up the tray. Better to start ahead of your party. Easy to fill. Small footprint. Quiet. I keep it near the sink to easily refill.
Cons: doesn't fill up the tray in 6 min., just one tiny batch of cubes (but it cycles about every 6 min). Could be better at keeping ice cold. That's why I took off a star--the ice melts pretty quickly so I've filled a couple of bags which I keep in my freezer. Also, it doesn't have good directions for cleaning the new ice maker. I washed what could be removed and ran a full batch to water through and use those ice cubes in my plants. Also watch out for a lot of little pieces of packing tape.
