Product review (5 stars): I can clean it just fine with a soft cloth
This is the second Ice Machine I have owned.  The first one had a cleaning function, this does not, but I figure with an occasional TLC with some vinegar, I can clean it just fine with a soft cloth.  The ice is tricky for these machines.  They come out too runny/watery.  The best way to use them is to fill them with cold water, preferably refrigerated water.  Make some ice, I would get the ice basket full then dump it in the water underneath.  The ice water will make some amazing ice, and in my opinion throwing the ice back that you don't use is better than waiting for it to melt.  It makes the machine more functional.
