Recent purchase replacing older model semi-industrial ice maker so just getting my first batch of ice produced. Wanted the type that stored Ice frozen and did not recycle and did not need a drain installed. This one fit the bill. It is much slower than the old unit but sufficient for home needs. The unit is compact and easily installed. Uses about half the power that the old unit used so should be economical to use. The instruction manual could use some enhancement and more specifics and the inclusion of a filter assembly and longer tubing would be nice as the unit was not inexpensive. The unit is nicely finished and is small enough to place on a countertop if you have the available space. Overall so far satisfied witht he purchase and would buy again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this smaller unit ice maker and it is performing as advertised. Ice bucket fills up in a day. Cubes are good size.
We live in a rural area, far from grocery stores, so an ice maker is a must. We love this one from Whtnter. The shape of the ice is great, it doesn't melt as fast as the usual sharp-edged crescent shape ones do. It's very efficient and not terribly noisy. A great purchase!
I had bought this same model many years ago and needed another one and was lucky enough to find this one still available. I received it within my expectations and it works great.
We have had this unit for 9 years and it is still knocking ice out and performing beautifully. I change an inline filter on it annually and I defrost it on a shut down scale 2x a year. For the money - you will not beat this unit. 3-4 friends of mine that have built new homes and/or bars bought the exact unit.
