The 3rd party i bought this from was the problem...not the icemaker. Sent wrong shipping info..and 3 days later was checking on it then finally sent tracking number but never sent who had it fedex or ups. Then finally today offers a apology..Really...thats how they do business? The only reason she apologize is cause i sent a message saying how they never got in a hurry to offer help..never called..or even apologized for all the crap they put me thru. That was 2 days ago and NOW she sends a im sorry note. Short and sweet. Ha ..well i have news for ALL OF YALL..i wont be buying from them again.

Makes ice very quickly, however it is noisy. Also it makes the ice in a large block...almost like a Hershey bar size and all the cubes are connected and wet, nor separate. It makes lots of ice but I am disappointed in the overall quality of the finished ice product as you literally have to break the cubes off of the chunk that the machine produces. Machine is good looking and the reservoir holds a large quantity of water so it doesn't have to be constantly refilled. That reservoir is probably it's best feature! The icemaker is okay but I would not recommend it.

Compared to our old "bullet" style icemaker, the EFIC452 is superior in every way. With the setting for the largest ice, the ice ends up being almost (but not quite) a perfect cube. The hollow space in the middle is minimal, which means that if you are transferring this to the freezer, the actual ice per volume is very high The ice iteself comes out in "sheets" so as it makes ice, the sheets stack on top of each other So the ice bin is actually completely full of ice by the time it trips the "ice full" shut-off. (The old bullet icemaker would fill the tray at an angle so it was just over half full and it would stop making ice) With the timer, you can set it to turn on in the morning so that it's already full of ice when you wake up. It makes ice so fast that it really doesn't have to run that long (the bullet style had serious trouble keeping up) Cleaning - Since the water constantly runs while making ice, no "self-cleaning" feature is needed. Just put in a 50/50 vinegar/water solution and let it make a batch or two of ice. The constant flow of cleaning solution takes care of most of the cleaning for you. (rinse thoroughly afterward to prevent vinegar-tasting ice) The only con really is that the "sheets" of ice that come out have to be broken up. I just tap them with the back end of a butter knife. The lower settings for ice-size are easier to break up

In use for a week now and so far we are pleased with this purchase. We do have to separate the clear cubes as they fall in a sheet instead of individual cubes as a ice cube tray would render. The design of the water drainage could be relocated to front of the ice maker instead of the rear.

the ice maker takes upwards of 15 mins to make ice, and it dont break down into cubes like in the photos. the ice comes out in sheets. But it's not bad, just not like the description says or the photos. oh, and when it falls into the basket, it's loud and startles us because we forget it on.

Purchased to supplement fridge Ice maker while on vacation with big family in hot zone. This ice maker exceeded every expectation as we quickly had two full buckets of ice all day long. Manufacturer info indicates it will make 40 pounds of ice over 24 hours. I can confirm.

Works great very quiet except when the ice falls into the tray . We have had this over a month use it every couple of days to make ice. We put the ice in the freezer for my husbands thermos for work. I use the ice for my cold drinks during the day its great!

The drain plug in the back leaked. At first it was a slow drip and then, about 3 hours in, I had water EVERYWHERE. The ice was great. It took the expected time to go through the cycle. It was extremely aggravating emptying out the left over water in the machine so I could repackage it and return it. If the drain hadnt been a problem, I would have been happy, other than emptying it when we use it for camping.

I love this ice maker! It really does what it claims! 40 lbs of ice a day. The set up was easy and worked right away. I own several of the Bullet type ice machines and because of the many moving parts they seem to be less efficient and break after a few months of use. i really love this design with very few moving parts.

Little bit larger footprint than a bullet shaped icemaker but still fits very comfortably on my countertop the electronIcs controls are functional and easy to use. Makes great ice. Ice is a solid square ice cube no hole in the middle like with a bullet shaped ice cube, much longer to dissolve then with the bullet shaped cubes. Great color choices. Haven't found anything I dislike about this ice maker.
