Product review (4 stars): Not perfect, but I brutalized this thing for nearly a year, so 4 stars it is!  Will buy again.
[NOTE: I did ****NOT**** receive this unit for free or a discount.  Do not trust such reviewers: Manufacturers SEEK OUT reviewers who routinely post 5 star reviews and offer them a unit.  The person THEN makes sure to post a good review just so they can continue to receive free or discounted items from other manufacturers.  Just ignore them, and if you can, downvote.]

This unit lasted almost a year, working almost 24/7.  No joke, we use that much ice.

It then died entirely.  I have no problem with this because I was ruthlessly running it endless, and the cost to me was only ~$125 IIRC.  I see many early deaths from far more expensive machines.

I don't believe that Ivation "made" this machine.  Look around and you'll see so many different manufacturers either rebranding the same units, or modifying their appearance slightly.  I believe that it comes from a no-name hole-in-the-wall in China.

However I liked how it performed.

NOTE:
1. The beeping is annoying to others, but didn't bother me.  It beeps something like 8 or 10 times when completely out of water, or out of water for a long time, I was never quite sure.

2. The ice is frozen, but not "rock hard".  This usually means that if you store it in a freezer, please store it in a large ziplock bag (easiest for me anyway) so that you can unclump the ice by dropping the bag on the counter once or twice.

3. I'm buying this again, because it is the "devil I know".  Absolutely no ice maker is getting stellar reviews, and certainly not at this price.

4. It makes even the largest size cubes very fast IMO.
