Slow to make ice, Not a good value
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is definitely better than not having any ice at all, however, it takes some planning beforehand b/c it takes a good bit of time just to get enough to fill a glass. Also, the ice is much wetter than what you'd get from an ice maker inside your freezer. If I figure the cost per ice cube that came out of it, it's definitely not worth the price. It was a better deal to spend the $300 to get my refrigerator's ice maker fixed.

Cubes Melt
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We set the ice maker up outside the RV. The ambient temperature was about 75 degrees. I was hoping this ice maker would keep the ice cubes solid. The cubes begin melting soon after they are being made. We tried transferring the cubes to the RV freezer. The cubes freeze in one big clump. I am going to try setting up the ice maker in the RV and see if that works. Not sure if I should return it or just work around the issues. At this point, I would not be able to recommend this ice maker to a friend.

Wish I returned it
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does create ice, but I hate the fact it does not keep the ice cold enough, so it will melt and stick together.

Posted .Hi.
I certainly get how this was a disappointment for you. My best suggestion is to contact us on the link below my signature, as we can troubleshoot the issue and apply it's warranty if considered necessary. It could very well be your particular unit the one that is not behaving correctly.

Worked for 2 days
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up returning the product after it stopped working after two days. When it did work, the ice cubes both large and small did the trick. However, it seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth because the fan would stopped working after 2 days.

not bad for minimal use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it is not a bad little ice maker for home use, don't expect a lot of ice for parties unless you keep putting the made ice in the freezer before your party.

Broke after half dozen uses
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice maker worked well for a couple of weeks. After about six uses the Add Water light would not turn off and rendered the ice maker useless. Fortunately, I purchased the warranty and was able to exchange it for a new one. I’ve used the new maker about 6 times with no issues so far. I rarely purchase the extended warranty, but I’ve read reviews for similar ice makers stating that they are not reliable.

26lbs in a day 1lb n hour
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.But holds less then a gallon in the tank. It takes about 3 gallons to make 26lbs of ice...but the tray fills up fast so unless your around and dumping it all into the freezer you’ll barely have any ice. I just fixed the freezer ice machine for less. I was under the impression that I could set it up and wake up to 26 lbs of ice tommorow.
