I have owned about eight of these over the last ten years. They all last an average of one year before a mechanical issue shuts them down or they get ravaged by hidden mold which can develop if you allow the ice to melt and re-freeze repeatedly without regular cleaning. If you do get mold, cleaning it all out is impossible and it is better to just throw it out.
Periodically, you will want to run concentrated lemon juice and some diluted Clorox bleach through the machine to sterilize it and keep mineral deposits down. If you are not going to use it, empty and dry it as best as you can. Also, some units have silicone drain plugs that are easy to damage or lose. Keep an eye on it.

For those considering this, the unit makes about a cup or so of ice at a time. Not 26 pounds at one time. I suppose if a person sat at the machine, filled it each cycle, harvested the ice at each cycle over a 24 hour period nonstop, and collected and weighed the results, the ice made might weigh 26 pounds. Unless you plan to do so, take the 26 pounds with a grain of salt. Also, know that the device makes ice. It does not keep the ice frozen for later use. If you don't retrieve it, the ice simply melts in place. To save the ice, you need to take the newly made ice out of the basket and put into your freezer. This would need to happen about every 14 minutes, after refilling it with new water of course.
That said, there is a place for these. A single person may find its production sufficient for their needs. Also, those who purchased newer refrigerators with crappy ice makers (especially Samsung and LG) thinking they would produce ice like the Whirlpools of 30 years ago might find these helpful in times of need such as a the heat of summer or a big dinner.
I have one (regrettable LG fridge) and it sits on a cabinet unused 99.9% of the time. Worse yet, when one of my daughter's friends was using it, she simply left it on for days at a time unaware that the newly made ice was not being kept frozen. Not good for the compressor or my electric bill.

- These style ice makers tend not to last more than 1-3 years, anything more than that is the exception.
- The ice it produces is not as hard as what you would get from a refrigerator freezer.
- The way we use this if we know we are having a get together is make the Ice starting in the morning and put bags of it in a deep freezer as it makes ice (way better). Then just put in a cooler with an ice scoop.
- This style ice is GREAT for frozen drinks, the blenders handle it better since it's "softer"
- If you store for a long time completely drain it and use something like vinegar or restaurant style disinfectant to clean it out.
- The basket on one this size is really only enough for two drinks of the larger tumbler size that's popular.
All in all these are nice, but just know it's not perfect. We used them for years daily as our fridge ice maker broke and we didn't want to pay $800 to fix it. Eventually got a new fridge but still keep these around for when people come over.26 lbs of ice in a 24 hr period.
Or is there some other process for using this ice that I'm just not used to?
