    Is not doing the complete batch

    I totally disappointed, it took more than 12 minutes to do the first ICE CUBE, yes, ONE. I must select a large size because with the small the machine was doing 3 barely frozen cubes, It never makes the 9 cubes per batch just 6, I took more than an hour the make 12 cubes. I'm ready to return it back.

    Horrible ice maker. Worked OK on day one, but then would only sometimes make ice. Did the reset and then we couldn't choose if large or small cubes, it chose for us. Has a mind of its own whether or not it wants to work even if we unplug multiple times. Definitely do not recommend this ice maker.

    I did one sample to make ice. I discarded as the instructions stated. When I tried to make ice after that, the light that says "Needs Water" stays on no matter how much or little water I put in the icemaker. Therefore, I have not been able to make ice, and Have been to ill to return to the store. Patricia Ross

    Electrical fire. I had this unit for roughly 3 months and it works perfectly, then one morning I noticed it making a really loud sound. It had run dry, but had not automatically shut itself off per usual… I could smell electrical burning, and had unplugged it before it started to emit smoke.
