Q: What size ice cubes can it make? Does it do the little small ones (like Sonic)?
A: No it does not make Sonic size ice cubes. My review has a picture of the medium cubes and the small and large don't differ much in size, only thickness.
Q: Am I correct in assuming the 2.2 lbs of storage is kept frozen?
A: Not really, I would say it is kept cool being inside of the machine next to where the ice is being made. Once the ice is made, it slides into the ice basket. The machine is made so that as the ice slowly melts in the basket, it drips into the water reservoir below. Last night I had a full basket and about 10 hours later there was only a few small pieces of ice left in the bottom.
Q: How much ice does it make per hour?
A: Manual says "33 lbs. each day", so based on the math about 1.4 pounds per hour. Personal experience is only based on number of cubes, which on the large setting is 9 cubes about every 10 minutes, so 45 cubes an hour.
Q: can this be connected to a water supply?
A: No. Water is poured in from the top of the reservoir. I have mine next to the kitchen sink and use our nozzle/hose or a pitcher to pour the water in.
Q: Is the green power light supposed to flash on and off when the ice maker is not turned on?
A: Ours is also doing the flash green light when we shut it off to refill. I assume that’s what it’s supposed to do.
A: so far we have not had a cleaning issue. Have used several time and although we are on well water we usually run gallon jugs of filtered water to make our ice.
A: The product measures 14.9 inches x 11.7 x 14.5 inches.
Q: Do the ice cubes stay wet or dry , would they turn into a clump when you put them in freezer
A: What I do is let it drop 3 or 4 batches and put them in a plastic container in my freezer for about 5 or 10 minutes. They will freeze solid, I break them up and throw them in my ice bin that is accessible from the front of my fridge. This thing is not perfect, nothing is, but it is so much cheaper than replacing the icemaker in a 20 plus year old fridge. It is a godsend to our family. I can fill my fridge ice bin in about 6 hours and roughly 3 quarts of water.
