Product review (2 stars): Not happy with this ice maker
I purchased this ice maker thinking it would work fine in our bar.  The price was so much cheaper than others that we were looking at and I really didn't want to spend a lot on this appliance.  But now Im kicking myself.  This  may be a $1000 waste unless I can unload it on Craigslist. In my case,  I just don't think I can live with it.  If you are putting this in a garage or isolated closet it will probably function okay.  It makes ice fine. Here are my issues with it:

1.  Although the cube size is just right for me, one in three sheets do not break apart.  Therefore, every time you reach in for ice you will be required to stab the sheets with the scooper to break them up.  Not a huge deal, but really annoying after a while. The solid sheets are always on top because they don't fall as far.  Again, "every" time you reach in.
2.  It runs constantly.  Because it is not as heavily insulated, the ice melts away quicker meaning more run time, more water.  It runs constantly throughout the day.
3.  My biggest complaint and the reason we cant live with this, is it is LOUD!  it is louder than our dishwasher by far.  We have this unit in our bar, built in under the counter.  But Im telling you it is very loud!  Since the ice melts quickly you constantly hear the water spraying inside to fill the reservoir.  Then the water trickles over the metal plate and drips back into the reservoir as its making cubes.  loud loud loud.  like an outdoor water fountain. Again,  imagine your dishwasher running with the kitchen sink spraying constantly, then you'll get the idea.  Sometimes its better to pay up a bit and in this case I think it would have been a MUCH wiser decision for us.  If you plan on putting this unit inside your house, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere.
