After doing a lot of research I purchased this ice maker from ABT.com and it is really as good as described. The self-cleaning function was a huge selling point for me. I had a different and much more expensive ice maker which just never worked correctly and I had to toss it after 1 yrs use because the interior was permanently stained and not for lack of cleaning. I chose this brand/model over the Avanti (which also dispenses cold water) because of the self cleaning function and I am glad i did. The unit is silent and easy to maintain and I actually like the single cube size since I have had other units where you can choose various ice cube sizes, but they never work.
I would like to purchase a spare plug and cover for the water outlet and if you could tell me where to buy one I would appreciate it.
It is really a nice machine. It takes some time to make the ice and you are constantly empting out the ice into plastic ziplocks bags. It really does take a full day or two to make 50 pounds of ice. I use bottle water or my water from the RO system that is in my house. The ice taste better.
I have a small space for a icemaker in my RV. The Danby worked just fine. I used it most everyday during the summer. Easy to care for and made ice in minutes. Can not ask for more.
