Product review (5 stars): So Far So Good Ice Maker!
Just had a plumber install this one day ago. It took him 4 hours because it needed a pump, a filter installed, and a PVC drain pipe for rigidity ( The included drain hose was too flexible and risks coming out of pump hole.). Rear adjustment buttons for thickness of ice is poorly placed in the rear of the unit. This makes adjusting near impossible if installed in a cabinet to replace garbage compactor, so make sure you're satisfied with the default ice size setting, which I am. Regarding the noise, it is no louder than a quiet dishwasher but does run a long time to fill the unit with ice. After about 30 hours, the unit's running well but does seem to omit quite a bit of heat. I can feel the temperature difference when entering the kitchen. Time will tell but as of now, the ice is nicely shaped (square) and although it is a dump operation, most breaks free in cube form and pieces that don't,  break apart easily into cubes when scooped.
Next month will be a year and every negative in my previous review can be ignored. This baby just got better with time! It's been a great ice maker!!!
