Product review (5 stars): So far so good
I had my doubts that this would work because it was so inexpensive. When I took it out of the box it didn't seem nearly as heavy duty as the old ice maker. This was mainly because the old ice maker had a switch on the front of it to control the rate of ice production. Some sort of motor was attached to this switch adding to the weight and size of the old unit. The new ice maker does not have this feature. We rarely changed the ice making rate on the old unit so this is not a feature we will miss. The new unit was easy to install. I just paid close attention to how everything fit together as I removed the old unit. Despite the difference in the size of the units the new ice maker fit perfectly in place. After several hours it started making ice. This little unit produces more ice than two of us can use. We've even flipped up the arm to stop production for awhile because the ice bucket was getting too full. We'll see how long it lasts but so far so good.
