Product review (2 stars): Makes ice but quirky
Have had it for about 2 weeks. I operates much like a later model I had previously. 3 issues that may cause me to return it:
1. It illuminates the "low water" light even when there is still about 2" of water left. It appears the water intake is not at the bottom of the tank, causing his to happen.
2. The machine determines whether the ice is full using an optical sensor. Once that sensor is blocked by ice it indicates to the machine to stop making ice. I think this sensor is too low, and also the bucket has to be properly seated to make sure it's not blocking the sensor, otherwise no ice.
3. Once you refill the water, it doesn't always automatically start back up. Sometimes you have to turn the unit off and on the get it going again.
