I gave a 4 star rating but wish I could give 4.5 stars. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the amount of recommended cleaning and maintenance the manufacturer recommends. It's a lot lol. I attached the care instructions next to it so I can keep up.
Other than that, I really like this ice maker. It has a self cleaning function, a water drain plug and the bottom, light on/off feature and other menu options to choose from. It lets you know when to add water and when ice is full.
The ice basket slides in and out easily But if the tray is full you have to be careful scooping ice out because it will push ice out. Also you can't close the ice door unless the basket is inside.
It's easy to use and not difficult at all to get started. Manual lays it all out.
The manual is short, easy to follow and right to the point so I recommend reading it all prior to getting started. It has a nice appearance and doesn't look cheap. It is super quiet which is a huge win for me. What has me liking this unit the most is its compact, sleek design.
