This new release has a clear top, not just the lid, but the entire top. This allows you to not only see the ice that has been made in the basket, but also lets you see the mechanism working while making ice. Kids find it fascinating. More important to use adults who are investing in an ice maker, it makes ice, quickly, and quietly. Some of the older models beeped when it ran out of water, or the ice basket was full. I didn't think much of that until we got this one and it was silent! It will just flash the red light when it has one of these issues. Why is this a factor? Because we have the ice maker in our master bedroom. So if you are sensitive to sound, then get this model. I uploaded a video showing the ice maker in action. Hope this helps your decision making process when looking for a portable ice maker. I was provided a discount in exchange for testing and providing my honest review.
