Product review (2 stars): Works.....now
This unit is OK I guess for the money.  The 1st time I used it, it made ice & filled the bin & shut down & never came back on.  I tried a couple of things from the rather sparse troubleshooting guide to no avail.  As a last ditch effort I plugged it back in one morning & at work, applied to return it.  When I got home that evening, the bin was full of ice and it's worked fine ever since.
Apparently the mere threat of returning it to China was enough to get it to do what it was supposed to.
It is VERY noisey and mine appears to have a rattle somewhere near the fan.  If I rap the side of it near the fan it stops for a few moments but then starts again.
The ice it produces is very porous and melts very quickly in a drink...which is OK since I just use it for water but in mixed drinks and soda, etc, it would water it down very quickly.  You can put some of the ice into baggies & put in your freezer to harden but that's why I bought this unit...I didn't want to take up space in my small apartment-sized fridge to make and store ice.
The way the system is designed, the unit doesn't hold the ice below freezing so after dumping into the bin, it begins to melt.  The water from melting goes back into the water supply tank and is used again to make ice over and over.  I strongly recommend using filtered water like a Brita pitcher to fill the tank.  The ice produced will not have a taste to it like using tap water.  The water in the tank will also last longer.  The instructions recommend draining the water from the tank every day.  That would be a total pain and using filtered water I just do it about once a week or every few days if I'm not using a lot of ice.
Bottom line, if you're wanting an ice maker to use behind your home wet bar, keep looking and spend the money for a higher quality unit.  If you just want some ice in your water, this unit is OK for that.
