Portable Ice Makers
As has already been stated, they are all made by the same Chinese company who will put any name wanted on them if you buy enough of them. When they work they are great, but when they don't there are no parts available for them, nor could I find anyone who would work on them. They all seem to last long enough to be out of warrenty. My advise, as a long term user of portable ice makers, is to buy the cheapest one you can find and consider it to be a disposable item. It will last a year or two then buy another one. But, in that time, it will pump out ice like there is no tomorrow as long as you keep the reservoir full of water. Because the holding bin is not refrigerated, the ice will be soft. Dump it in a container and put it in the frig. These machines will easily make all the ice the average family will need in a day.
