Product review (2 stars): Love the ice but be ready to work as hard as your ice maker to get beautiful clear ice!!
If you are an ice snob like me - you learn how to make this machine work.......

That being said, apparently I am not using it correctly but it's the only way I can get it to make ice.  The manual says "Do not fill front reservoir with water" but if I don't, my machine acts like there's no water in it!!!!!  My ice maker will not pull water from the back tank.  If the front tank empties, my machine gets super loud and makes white ice that has to be thrown out.

Oh... and cleaning.... hahahahaha!!!!  I have a water softener installed in my home and I use filtered water from my refrigerator but the gunk this thing gets built up is pretty bad!!!!  Today I finally took the back off, the top off and removed all the water lines to really clean it.  The amount of gunk removed and to see the mold spots on areas where water flows was really pretty scary when thinking I drink this stuff every day!!!

I've purchased a different, less expensive counter top ice maker because when I get ice from my Luma, I LOVE it!!!!  Best ice ever (even though I know what's in those pipes).  This makes far superior ice and actually has less problems than the igloo ice maker I purchased.  If you are looking for a counter top ice maker that makes clean ice - this is it.  Otherwise the next option is an installed under counter ice maker.  I haven't found another product that makes ice this good..... you just have to learn the trickery of making it work.

Oh.... and the auto shut off valve.... man come on, there's not enough ice in that bin yet.... it barely fills my 30oz Rambler with that little basket!!!!  I'm tempted to take that lever off!!!

Yes it makes great ice, but it's not going to be a fill it and forget it deal.  You are going to have to work for your ice with this machine!
