Ice Maker
By Rod
After about a week with this product I am ready to write this review. Because of reading these reviews on Amazon before ordering, I requested the replacement of the plastic nut for the water valve to a brass compression nut and ferrule from the installer. The water valve is the type that is in my GE side by side fridge. I have not had an issue. As for ice production, I am not getting the full 12lbs. per day. The working environment of the freezer is its in a kitchen with external temperatures of 70-75 degrees and 75 PSI of water pressure. The internal freezer temperature is about 4 degree's Fahrenheit. Under these external and internal perimeters, I get about 6lbs. per day. That is enough to keep up with our ice demands so I am satisfied. Another thing I found out by weighing the ice is that it was dispensing only 3 ounces of ice per tray. The instructions said it should put out 5 ounces per tray so the ice maker cover was removed and adjusted to 5 ounces. The ice maker dispenses 12 cubes per tray. The type of ice maker is a manual ice maker with the bar that rises up and down and not an electronic type. The older analog ice makers that I have had are durable and the one I have in the GE has been going for 15 years. I like this type of ice maker. I called Sunpentown and the customer service is in the USA and my call was answered right away and questions answered with no accent barriers leading to frustration.

Poor design results in substantial water leak and damage
By G. Pinski
I had this ice machine installed by a licensed plumber. The water line to this machine connects with a cheap plastic nut that came loose after a couple hours of connection. This resulted in a substantial water leak that caused damage to wood floors, along with the ceiling and insulation below. In all, several thousand dollars damage caused by the poor design. The plumber reconnected the water line with a tighter metal nut and the machine still left puddles of water all over the floor.

By JBT HouseSitter
Wish we did a bit more research on this before spending over 300 dollars for an disappointing item that was well below expectations. Item arrived quickly as expected. Amazon does a great job on shipping. Excitedly opened up pacakage to find a squat small machine that was half the height of the counter.Finally hooked it up after ignoring the confusing user manual. WARNING, the water line connector is flimsy to say the least. It does not connect well under high water pressure. It will come loose. Fortunately the failure happened twice when I was fumbling around with it. Very minor flooding occurred which prompted me to completely seal the connection with silicon and plumbing tape. I called the manufacturer about this part failure and was promptly told that literature clearly caveats that it has to be connected by a professional plumber. Pay another 150 dollars to connect this? I guess I'll live with the risk of flooding the kitchen.All that being said and after all the effort I would have been willing to live with a unit that managed to produce a reasonable amount of ice. First 3 hours, it produced approximately 20 ice pieces. Ran it over night and by the next morning we got 5 cups of ice! Ran it 24 hours and we got the same disappointing result. It makes ice but at this level of output, getting ice from the store is still cheaper. Guess it is what it is. It's just not for me.
