The design and look are great! It is very sleek and appealing to look at. It fits into my kitchen design perfectly. The only complaints I have is that the ice cubes themselves don't break apart. The full tray is dropped into the ice bucket and I have to manually break up the ice. Also, the ice maker will randomly not make ice. I just bought this ice maker, so I don't know if it is faulty or if this is something that this ice maker does. I do know that the ice "recycles" and there is a period that the ice all melts and is recirculated. But it doesn't seem to go back into the proper cycle afterwards.

One of the best purchases I've ever made worth every penny make ice in about 15min to 25min on the first batch

There are cheaper "bullet-style" ice cube machines, but I'm glad I chose the extra to get the clear, square ice cube style. I suspect most of this style are produced by the same manufacturer, but that's just a guess. The only caveat I would mention is that a friend mentions that his ice maker consumes a lot of electricity. I don't pay for electricity, so I wouldn't know, but it's something to consider before purchase. Additional notes are that cleaning is relatively simple, the drain plug location is convenient, and it's fairly quiet in operation.

Effective and dependable machine. Pros- it makes a decent amount of ice, quickly. It is quieter than other models I have owned and it seems to keep cold longer. Cons- the ice comes out in sheets that are difficult to break apart. The machine will shut itself off when not used for a long period of time or when out of water. Then, all of the prepared ice melts.

Very convenient to make ice at home...and this sure puts it out. Looks great and does not take up as much space as I expected. My only issue is that my ice is not clear as advertised. This may because I use well water and have not tried filtered, spring or distilled water.
