Product review (5 stars): Looks Fancy & Makes Great Clear Ice
We do a lot of entertaining, especially during football season, and we had grown tired of spending money buying ice at the grocery store or some random gas station. I figured this Luma unit was worth the small investment - provided it did make clear ice as advertised. So far so good! Personally, I really like that this unit makes actual ice CUBES, versus bullet ice.

Pros:
- This unit really does make clear ice, almost exactly like what you'd find in a bar
- Very simple to use, this ice maker is the epitome of "plug & play"
- Looks awesome in our kitchen, the stainless finish is just about perfect
- Makes a lot of ice once it gets running
- Ice is cubed, not bullet or circles - probably my favorite part!

Cons:
- The first time you use the unit, the ice making cycle takes a little longer than advertised. Once the unit really gets humming, the ice comes faster and faster
- While it makes a lot of ice, it will melt if you don't move it to the freezer (after about 2-3 hours), although the water is then re-used
- It's a bit heavy to be a truly portable unit, unless you're putting it in an RV

Tips:
- When you first get your ice maker and unpack it, make sure you let it sit for a couple hours before plugging it in, just like you would a fridge
- The first cycle or two takes a little more time than normal, so make sure you give yourself extra time if you need ice for something in particular
- If you want to build up a nice ice stockpile, get some plastic bags and fill them with ice from the machine, then put it in a freezer for long term storage - MUCH cheaper than buying it from the store.
