Product review (4 stars): So far so good.
It's smaller than it seems in the pictures, but that's a good thing. Fairly easy to clean the surfaces that hold the water, but I worry how well the tubing and pump will stay clean over time. It didn't take long to drop the first bit of ice and after about 4-5 hours, the bin was full. The ice is a little bit wet in the bin because of the nature of this type of design. Water continuously runs down the face of the metal grate and due to it being cooled below freezing, water freezes on it and continues to build as the water runs across. This results in the ice being fairly clear compared to other makers and ice trays. I don't keep it running all the time because it draws 150-200 watts. The important thing is that it takes all the work out of making ice save for keeping it clean.
