I've had two of these so far.. They work great, noisy as all get-out, but die after about two years.. So get the extended warranty, so when it breaks and nobody can economically fix it, you get your money back from the warranty company. Then you can get a new one.. And do it again.. It uses a regular refrigerator-type ice maker, but for some reason makes six times the ice as the one in my refrigerator, and in the same room.. Other than the noise, and short life-span, it's great.. Oh, it's not frost-free, so you'll have shut it off and defrost it during the high humidity season.

Whatever you do, do not, I repeat, do not order this machine. It has been nothing but problems from day one, and my husband is a mechanic who was always fixing it.

After he fixed all the smaller problems and the warranty expired, he found out there was an internal leak which is a huge problem and would cost more to fix than what it is worth. So now it just holds the ice we buy from the store!

I hooked up the icemaker into my reverse osmosis water supply under the sink. Since reading the reviews I replaced the plastic nut on the water line input with a brass nut and compression fitting. Nice and tight, no leaks.

Plugged the unit in and turned it on. Nice and quiet operation compared to our old counter top icemaker. After ten minuets of operation there was a puddle of water under the icemaker. The water came from the water shutoff solenoid inside the icemaker. I had to remove the back grate, and push the palstic tubing into the plastic fitting tighter than when it was originally assembled. Obviously this icemaker was not tested at the factory or this defect would have presented itself.

After I repared the icemakers water system, i let it run overnight. The yield was less than impressive. With the icemaker running for about 12 hours, it produced ice that filled the bin by about 1/3. Enough for three soda drinks in large tumblers. I expect that we will out use the available ice each day this summer.

If we use the icemaker to its yield capacity each day, it will be running constantly. At 350 watts of power while running, that's some pretty expensive ice. That power consumption is the equivalent of my refrigerator / freezer running 24 hours a day.

So in summary, It's better than the countertop icemaker that I was previously using because I don't have to manually fill it with water. It produces about 1/3 the ice yield as the countertop icemaker. It uses 100 watts more power than the countertop icemaker. It runs much quieter, and the ice remains in a freezer compartment, so it doesn't melt like the ice in a countertop icemaker. Overall, it's nothing to write home about. The customer should not have to repair a brand new item to get it working the first time. The only reason that I repaired it was because I did not want to pay to ship it back for a simple repair.

Just installed this last weekend. First, took the advice of others on the internet and went to the hardware store to buy an ice maker installation kit that included a copper water tube and compression nuts. The plastic one that came with the machine was a joke!

Started making ice, but only making 8 small cubes at a time. Did a little research on the net, and found another who had the same problem, and how it was resolved with adjusting the size of the cubes. Did the same thing, and started getting 12 decent size cubes each production cycle. Nothing about this at all in the instruction booklet that came with the machine.

Makes a fair amount of ice, but no where near the 12 pounds that the manufacturer claims it will produce. Probably more like 6-7 pounds of ice per day.

Not a bad machine, but not great either. The biggest down side is the terrible instruction booklet that comes with it. If it wasn't for the internet, I would have sent it back since the instructions were useless as to how to remedy the ice production amounts.
