Broke less than 1 month ago, replaced in less than 2 weeks

This ice maker is as described. I used to have one that lasted a year before it started giving us problems because it wouldn't soak up water. We liked it so much that we ordered a new one from Amazon this time. We followed all the instructions to let it stand upright before plugging it in. From the start he didn't make ice on one side. The ice on this side was small no matter what size was chosen. Today (less than 1 month old) he only makes 3-4 ice cubes at a time. I chose Amazon as aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for small homes
Cons
  • Compatibility

Bad quality, machine breaks

I bought this product in September 2015. It worked great for a while, and one day it just stopped making ice. We called the company and after receiving confirmation of purchase they sent the replacement parts. However, the parts did not come with instructions on how to swap parts, and this required special tools. We were able to fix it, but only because my husband, an electrical engineer, knew the wiring and tools. The product failed for the second time in less than two years and the companyโ€ฆ

  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Embarrassing

Nice ice maker for the kitchen and dining room

We ordered this ice maker especially for our annual big hike. We have just returned from a trip and the car worked very well. The room is very big but we had the perfect location for it. The unit is noisy and generates some heat, but since the RV's air conditioning is on all day (nearly 100 degrees in Texas heat), I didn't notice any noise or heat. Before buying this one we bought a smaller block and ended up taking it back, it just didn't make enough ice cream. This unit didn't produce enoughโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Fits

So far so good: small appliances

We've had this machine for about 3 months now and it's basically the only way to get ice as our Samsung fridge's ice maker is rubbish. We always set it for 'big' ice and despite what I've read it takes a little longer to get big ice cubes. About 20 minutes after launch, the first baths will be produced, but they will be small and thin. After about 30 minutes you will start noticing large and thick balls of ice cream. I think there is a common misconception about this and all other ice machines.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Best little ice maker we've tried

We had a smaller version (26-28#) of the NewAir ice maker for a couple of years and loved it...then it died. It was a good run. So I ordered a similar one from a different brand...it was awful and a waste of $110. So a few weeks later I ordered a bigger NewAir and we REALLY love it! It makes a few more cubes at a time and holds a little more ice cubes. If the sensor becomes blocked and stops making ice, you'll have a pretty full bucket by then. It holds more water, so it doesn't need to beโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good things only
Cons
  • little things

Sugru to the rescue

Good and bad in this car. I bought it in March 2016. We enjoyed the ice cream and even bagged up the excess to keep in the freezer as the basket is small. Last fall, around October, the car started making horrible grinding noises. I have contacted the company regarding the warranty and received a request for information. Based on other reviews they took a photo of the data plate on the car and a copy of my receipt. I was then greeted in a friendlier manner and given a returns number. I didn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Communication with seller
