A good buy, good ice and good warranty.
Ive owned a few different versions of this machine, ranging from absolute rubbish to brilliant. This one tops the bill. Very good ice, reliable so far, two years warranty (had some last only 9 months) and good to look at. The big problem with these machines is that over time a considerable amount of slime mould grows inside them, especially where the hard plastic pipes meet soft rubber pipes. No amount of bleach or vinegar will touch it meaning the only way to clean is by stripping down the machine, removing the pipes and washing one by one. You will know when the build up has occured as the ice starts tasting real bad. We take ours on holiday with us in our caravan and in the south of france in summer it is invaluable. They make a noise but nothing to keep you awake. The clear lid is light and easy to open as opposed to some which have the buttons in the lid. Whatever you do, dont plump for the much cheaper versions as they are very poor. Externally they look very similar but that is where the similarity ends. They utilise relays which for the most part went out with the Ark, and have a relatively short lifespan. The trigger to make ice or stop making ice is via an IR sensor, again far superior to some other makes which use a thermocouple.
