    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.

    I purchased this item and was ill when it arrived. I opened the box just a week from today and made ice that one day just fine. I went to make some ice yesterday and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! NO ICE FOR OVER A HOUR OF IT RUNNING! I want to bring it back to the store for some type of compensation. Unfortunately, I through the box away, it I’m still going to try to return it for some type of customer satisfaction.

    We loved our ice maker and used it regularly. I would clean the inside every couple of weeks, until I noticed there was mold build up on the tray that pushes the ice out from the top. Gross! The tray is not accessible and can not be cleaned properly. It's a shame because we used it daily.

    It works excellent for the time it works. Been less than a year in use. And has broken though looked online for why the fan would stop turning on. Another individual posted a video talking about the water line leaking water on to the fan and shorting it out. This has indeed happened with ours as well. This is a poor manufacturing problem.

    Dead after a year

    Broke after little over a year of service. The motor that pushes the ice into the tray gave out. Up until then, it did a serviceable job. If you live in a smaller place, take into consideration the noise it makes when the ice drops, its fairly loud. If you are in a warmer climate the cubes may melt faster as they sit in the bin.
