Product review (5 stars): Was very happy with that
A lot bigger than I expected!  Was very happy with that.  Your instructions are very self explanatory.  Ice maker can yield 48 pounds plus a day if you keep refilling it.  There are 3 different ice cube sizes, and the ice is the round kind with the hole in the end.  Makes very soft, easy to crunch ice.  The soft ice is my absolute favorite and that's what this makes.  Be sure that when you first get your ice maker you wait at least 30 minutes to plug it in, as it needs to settle in case it was turned upside down or shaken during delivery.  You are going to want to wipe down the inside really good with some vinegar to get the "new plastic" smell out of it and let it air out a bit.  If you don't your ice will have a bad taste and smell to it.  Let a few cycles run through as well and dump out the ice.  You can fill it with your tap water or purified bottled water if you choose.  The ice will have a different texture and will be harder if you use the purified water.  I tried a gallon of "bought water" and it was clear and hard.  The water from my tap was white and soft.  I suppose it has something to do with the oxygen in the different types of water.  Nevertheless this is a good sized ice maker.  The ice dumps in the basket and keeps it cool pretty long.  Once it melts it just drops back into the water reservoir and is recycled back into making ice.
