Product review (1 stars): Junk - Broke After 1 Year of Use
Junk. The icemaker itself works great when it works. Overall, it's a little slow but it has a large holding bucket and since it's larger in general, it can hold a good deal of ice even though it takes a while to make it. I just bought a HOME ice maker to replace it and the HOME icemaker is so much faster but has a smaller holding bin. I had the icemaker on it's own stand and we just let it sit there and make ice for a year and it just broke one day. Never abused it and took good care of it. The problem with these icemakers is they all use the same flawed mechanism to load the ice tray which eventually wears out and break. This one has the same flawed design.

This is my 5th icemaker that broke after 1 year. They are all made like crap unless you buy one that's over $500. I just put the warranty on them for $12 and use the warranty to replace it when it breaks because I guarantee it will break after 1 year no matter what you do. This icemaker works great and is easy to use with the simple controls and we really liked it when it worked. It did a great job of making ice.

I absolutely hate throwing another broken ice maker out and wish they would make one that lasted because I hate waisting materials and throwing things out that are less than 1 year old. The problem is that they are too expensive to fix and it doesn't make sense to buy a $1000 ice maker b/c I can't afford one.

The bottom line is pick a manufacturer and just know that you will get about 1 year out of whatever one you pick.
