[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have enjoyed an ice maker for the past 30 years. Our Kitchen Aid finally gave up and we bought a new one of the similar model. It was very easy to install and it is cranking out ice just like the last one. WE love it!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this a few weeks now and really like it. It replaces a noisy icemaker that made clumpy ice that had to be chopped up before use. This icemaker makes great ice, doesn't clump at all and is very quiet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second ice maker, replacing a similar one we had for 7 years before it blew up (not sure why). This one is much more quiet operation, which is a major plus. The only negative so far is the door to the controls won't stay up, which is the only reason I gave an overall rating of 4! Ice Makers are notorious for failure, but this one came with 3 yr warranty and we purchased the extended warranty just in case.
We've had this ice maker for about 10 mos and it has mostly been great. Lots of crystal clear ice. The bad: maintenance is difficult, at least the first go around. I've always heard ice makers are a real pain to maintain and this one does not disappoint. We started to develop the same mold issue mentioned in some posts. If you look at the manual, the unit requires some disassembly and cleaning every 9 mos. It's not easy! Do you yourself a favor and get yourself a 1/4" nut driver as that is what most of the fasteners are. Also, carefully note how things are assembled before you disassemble as the manual does not do a great job of listing out the steps. Once disassembled, you can clean all parts up good as new. I know how things go together now, so next time won't be so bad. One last hint: when working on this unit put something in the drain hole because the nuts are the perfect size to drop in there and never be seen again. I learned that tip the hard way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Kitchen Aid Ice Maker. The new feature I like the most is the location of the handle at the top perpendicular to the machine. It makes it so easy to open. My last Kitchen Aid Ice Maker had the handle parallel on the left side, but did last me 17 years!
