EdgeStar IB250BL 15 Inch Wide 20 Lb. Built-In Ice Maker with 25 Lbs. Daily Ice Production - No Drain Required

I love this ice maker! It's been 1 mouth and it's working great. The one thing I would change. I plugged it in and turned it on. It started producing ice right away. But the ice would melt and stick together. I would recommend turning ice maker portion off till freezer got up in temperature then turn ice on. That way it will not freeze ice together! Up date! It quit working, was good for 2 years

This has been a nightmare! We bought this and installed it in our brand new kitchen remodel. We only used this for 5 months when it had an internal connection for the water hose fail and leaked all night long flooding our kitchen and finished downstairs basement. All the floors on both levels have to be taken up which also means our brand new BEAUTIFUL kitchen has to be disassembled. :(( Our base cabinets may be ruined (yet to be determined)... This simple internal part that failed is likely to total over $50,000 in repairs! DO NOT BUY THIS ICEMAKER!! Other remarks about its function... it does make ice very quickly, however, it produces quite a lot of heat when it is recovering a large ice load. Also, even at its lowest temperature setting, the ice is not very hard and melts very quickly. It's even hard to hold in your hands because it becomes so slippery due to the fact that it is barely frozen. Even without the leaking issue, I would not recommend this icemaker.

Arrived damaged, repaired sheet metal and put a new "foot" on it but certainly fedex or ups usual crap, not the manufacturer. Unit is icing up after a month and Ive defrosted it once. This thing is ok if you are proned to entertaining, time will tell whether its worth de-icing every few weeks for regular use. No drain is huge though, I did not need another complication to go wrong at some point and flood the kitchen. Finish is as shown, nice looking unit and does make a lot of ice quickly.

This ice maker is simple and easy to install. My refrigerator ice maker stopped as usual for Samsung. Instead of paying to repair it, I bought this ice maker. I disconnected the line for the fridge and used the port to hook up this ice maker. It came damaged but the seller made my issue right, without being a pain in the ask. It is in my basement rather than in my kitchen, but it is also a great improvement over my small ice maker. I have transferred ice from this machine to the ice bin in my kitchen at times for company. It does make ice and keep it frozen instead of letting the ice melt and re-freezing over and over. It's a glorified ice maker but if you need a larger capacity, like me, then I reccomend this.

Waste of money, if you want a poorly made product this is it. iNever made good ice, After a few day you have a big clump. Only lasted a little over a year. The seller and Amazon should know this ice machine is junk and they should quit selling it. DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK

As other reviewers mentioned, it works well until about 2 years then it completely stops. One day it stopped making ice and the next day, the existing ice was melted. Not worth the $1k every two years when I’m sure there’s a better one on the market with a warranty that covers known issues like this.

update: Edgestar is sending a new unit, excellent customer service that took me from a 1 star to 5 star. Original Post:This icemaker died after repeatedly defrosting on its own, we purchased under 1 year ago on Amazon, it worked well for 3 months then acted up regularly until it died. We only used it a handful of times as it is in a bar area used rarely. No way to return or get support to service unit. Would recommend purchasing these types of appliances from your a reputable store that can provide follow up service when needed.

This ice maker is great when it works. Mine lasted 2 years then just stopped cooling. Too bad because it made good solid ice and I liked the no drain factor and that it actually kept the ice frozen unlike a lot of the others which just let it melt and keep making it constantly..
