NewAir AI-100VO Portable Ice Maker, Orange

This unit arrived in tact and in fine shape, we set it up on our counter and waited 24 hours till we started it. After which it worked great, we immediately took it on our camping trip and it provided enough ice for the whole weekend (with a frozen drink blender).

My word of advise, it seems that the ratings are either great or horrible and I have a theory on this. Being in the industrial commercial HVAC refrigeration business I know a bit about these units (even as small as they are). During shipment this product is in a box which is in a box which is in another box, this tells me that no one really knows which end is up, refrigeration units need to have the oil and refrigerant in the sumo and the lines clear in order to work properly so after shipping let the unit stand upright for 24 hours to allow all the fluids inside to settle before starting it up for the first time. Not doing this could cause some of the symptoms people are reporting,

I purchased this to go with myu00a0

I have owned this ice maker for 18 months, and it has worked well for the most part. Until this week, the only complaint I've had concerns the

I purchased this a couple of years ago and tho it still freezes ice the metal plating on the posts that freeze the ice has started flaking off leaving the ice inedible. I have carefully followed manufacturers instructions on cleaning and ONLY used filtered water... very disappointed!!!
