Product review (4 stars): Very nice product, worth the money.
We bought this ice maker for home use about 3 weeks ago, It's been working very well, but, as I've seen in other reviews here, there are some issues that you have to know before buying this icemaker.

First: the smell issue. For me it is not that important and the smell does fade away as you use the machine, and the ice never tasted like plastic to me.

The second thing you have to know is that it takes about 9-12 minutes to run each cycle, that's with the large sized ice (trust me, the small and medium sizes are useless) but when you use the machine for the first time or you haven't use it in a while, the first 3 or 4 cycles will produce very small pieces of ice, so you will have to wait at least half-an-hour to have decent sized ice.

The third and most important issue for me: the low water warning. Today I had a party and used the icemaker, but in each cycle told me it was low in water in its display. It didn't needed water as it was full. I had to turn off the unit everytime it did that, then worked for 1 cycle and did the same thing again. I've just read another review that adressed this problem, as it says that the low water sensor will not work properly if you use ultra pure water. Today I did used a different kind of purifed water than the one I usually use, so I think that could be the problem. Tomorrow I will use tap water to see if the unit works properly again.

There's one other thing I've been thinking: if I move the unit around very much and immediately after moving it I turn it on, will it damage the compressor?

Finally, I do recomend this product, it is worth the money and it's a great unit to have. If the maker could improve the unit so it wouldn't have these issues, it would pretty much be the perfect machine to have.
