Product review (5 stars): Bigger than I expected but I like what it does... a lot.
Time will tell how well I ultimately like this ice maker but if it holds up, I like it a lot.  It makes a lot of ice quickly, it's not noticeably noisier than the one it replaced (that was half its size) and now that I've gotten used to its size, I no longer drag my eye across it as I survey my kitchen.

Let me explain what I mean.  The ice maker that this replaced was half its size (with all the performance differences that infers) but it fit under my kitchen cabinets above the counter.  This new one strongly resembles the older Igloo ice maker in appearance but it's twice as big and will NOT fit under the counter.  I had to find a new home for it and now that I have, I actually like it better where it is now than where it had been before.  That's why I referred to dragging my eye across the kitchen... it's different now... but actually better.

Others have referred to excessive noise but truthfully while there are slightly different noises, the volume is no louder.  It doesn't interfere with talking or listening to the TV on the kitchen bar.  So the only reservation I have is whether the new Ivation ice maker holds up better than the Igloo, which died WAY too young.  I've only had it a few weeks now so time will tell.  But early indications are looking pretty good.  I like this ice maker.
