    Bought this because my fridge ice maker broke. But I takes way too long to make ice like over 5 min for very little ice. Would need like 3 load for one cup full.

    Died after like 9 months. Not sure why there's no such thing as a good inexpensive ice maker. It was glitchy from day 1. Either thought it was out of water or the limit switch on the ice scooping mechanism failed to work properly.

    Terrible tasting ice

    The ice from this icemaker tastes like plastic. I have cleaned it out twice with vinegar water and it does well for 1 or 2 cycles, then taste like plastic again. I do not leave water sitting inside and leave the top open until its completely dried out. I wanted to return it, but the return time was only 15 days. I feel this is unfair for this type of product.
