Product review (5 stars): After 2 months of use, we found a design flaw.  Plz read the update below my original post.
So far, so good.  Works very well.  We purchased this ice machine as we have run out of room in our freezers for ice trays.  We don't use it 24/7 but at least daily and it appears to be strong and a real workhorse.
The only downside it, the fan is plastic, and appears to be a some kind of a computer fan. It squeaks every so often and we have concerns that the ball bearings may go bad in the future but it's still a 5 star product.

UPDATE AUGUST 2, 2018.  Well, the icemachine is very good but this morning i fond a design flaw. The see through window!!  The window is made of plastic and it consists of one piece on the outside and one piece on the inside.  I appears that the one on the inside has a tiny seal on it.  The inside window tends to fog up a bit however, this morning I noticed a speck of mold forming between the upper window and the lower window.  there is no way to get to it.  The machine is cleaned weekly as per the manufactures instructions.  Today I mixed about 1/4th tsp of bleach to 2 quarts of lukewarm water.
I sure hope the mold does not spread as it'll ruin the functionality of the machine.

Am still leaving 5 stars as there is no 4.5.
