Product review (3 stars): Like the cubes, not so much the very noisy machine.
I do like that it makes ice very fast, and I like the smaller square cubes vs the funky round ones. We purchased this one to replace a ThinkGizmos ice maker that was just over a year old and worked fine one day and then didn't the next. I was looking specifically for a machine that makes square cubes and this was the only one under $300 bucks. I arrived and literally with in ten minutes I had ice again! Now for the bad: I initially set it up on the kitchen counter as the old one was and was busy doing other things the first day it was going so did not pay much attention to it. That night as we sat in the family room i was trying t figure out why the dishwasher was running,,,, well it was not it was the ice maker, it is so loud I had to move it ou tin the garage. It is at least as loud as the 15 year old dishwasher, and that is a bit of a bummer because it is not real convenient to have to remember to go to the garage and dump the ice and then pack water out there. The next issue is the ice maker is slightly larger than the ThinkGizmos was but it holds considerably less water and Ice which I find frustrating. The 3rd issue I have with it is that I use it to stockpile ice, (I try to always have at least 15 to 20lbs of ice in bags in the big freezer just so when you need it its there and I have to pay for ice) and when you go to dump the ice it is very very wet, ya i know ice is made of water har har har, but it is so wet that when you put it in bags to store it becomes a block of ice, so I have to lay it out on a full sheet cake pan and let it "freeze" like that and then bag it. All in all it is just ok,,, probably would not buy this one again nor can I recommend it to anyone, unless you only plug it in and use it for a party or holiday or some such then I guess it would be ok.
