Commercial Ice Maker Machine 120Lbs/24H, Stainless Steel Under Counter or Freestanding with 2 Water Inlet Modes - Makes 36 Ice Cubes in 8-15 Mins, 28Lbs Storage Bin - Perfect for Home, Office, Bar, Restaurant, and Commercial Use

This ice maker is exactly what we needed! (The one in our freezer was slow and started leaking, despite several repairs.) The ice this maker produces is not exactly chewable, but it is solid and keeps for quite a while. The bin is also a healthy size. Not quite enough for a restaurant, but more than enough for a household of four. And it's pretty quick, too. I have the cycle time set to 17 minutes and that seems to be the perfect rate for us.The goods: Compressor is quiet. Well, quieter than the fridge the maker is sitting next to. It also doesn't run very hot. (Despite having vents on all sides, the unit itself does not get very warm and I have not felt any appreciable warmth coming from it when it cycles.) And the amount of ice it can hold is VERY nice. More than enough to fill two large Yeti rambler style mugs with plenty left over.The bads: The ice is wet. I like to empty the bin and put it in the freezer so we have extra on hand. But the ice this maker produces is rather wet and the entire lot froze into a solid mass in our regular freezer. This isn't exactly a problem if you use the maker as intended. But if you like to save ice, keep a pick or hammer nearby to break it up after freezing. Also, when it drops the ice, it is quite loud. I thought something fell off the shelf the first time it dumped! Again, not the ice maker's fault. It wasn't designed to be used in a library. Just be ready for it if you're using it inside your house. Lastly, it drains a LOT. This is by design, I suppose. The older ice in the bottom of the basin melts and drains as the unit itself does not freeze the entire chamber. The last downside (and this is mentioned in the description, but I just missed it) is that it drains constantly. Ice it produces does melt and drain out in the chamber. Where I have the maker setup, there isn't a convenient drain, so I currently have it dumping into a bucket which only needs to be emptied maybe twice a week. Please be aware of the need for a nearby drain!The only real design flaw I've found is that, if you want really dense ice, it doesn't break up easily. You set the freeze time which determines how "thick" the ice is. Anything over 20 minutes and the seams between the cubes becomes too thick and it drops as a single mass that's hard to break apart. I've found 17 to be the sweet spot for thick, but still easily breakable ice.
