Product review (1 stars): I found another portable ice maker on Amazon that I liked even better because it allowed you to select the ...
About a month ago, I decided I was tired of lugging home 20lb. sacks of ice for drinks.
I began shopping for small portable ice makers that did not have to be connected to a water line.
I found one on Amazon I thought would do the job, ordered it and after unpacking, read and followed the directions to the letter.  The ADD WATER light kept coming on, no ice cubes.
I hesitated to add any more water above the water line mentioned in the manual but no matter what I did or didn't do, the ADD WATER light kept coming on and, no ice cubes.
I thought the HOMEGEAR unit was defective so I ask for a refund.
I found another portable ice maker on Amazon that I liked even better because it allowed you to select the size of the ice cubes it made.  Ordered it, unpacked and followed the instructions again to the letter.  SAME PROBLEM, put water in to the line called out in the directions, ADD WATER light comes on and, no ice cubes.
I don't think Im doing anything wrong, I just don't think these things work.
The second unit was made by IVATION but it had the same guts as the HOMEGEAR.
What is the problem with these portable ice makers ?
Do any of them work ?
