Ugly but nice, April 16, 2012

We just purchased a home that had an existing KitchenAid ice machine.
The machine had been having problems prior to our purchase and of course "died" right after we moved in.
After doing some research we decided to go with the Edgestar.

2. It's definitely not as "pretty" as most residential machines, looks like it belongs behind the bar at your local pub.
We have a family of six and wanted a machine that would produce a lot of ice.
We've only had it for several days but it seems to be performing quite well so far.
We did install a filter as well.
The only negatives thus far is it's not so residential appearance and the very loud "dumping" of ice during initial production.
This is due to the fact that the bin is empty, once it's full it's not loud at all.
It also produces ice quite quickly.
Price was great as well compared to others that do not produce as much ice.
Ice is large, bullet shaped.
You can also change the size of your ice on this machine.

VERY LOUD PRODUCT, June 6, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: EdgeStar Full Size Ice Maker - 65 lb. Capacity
We have only had this operating a week so this is a preliminary review:
This ice maker makes a ton of ice very quickly but it is extremely loud!
We had it installed by a plumber as a built in unit in our bar.
The unit motor and fan are loud - more like a commercial ice maker.
This is the loudest kitchen/bar appliance I have ever heard.
I called and spoke with the manufacturer Edgestar who told us it was not defective but admitted that it was a louder machine as it
produces so much ice.
IF you want a ton of ice quickly and do not mind a loud machine (I would guess 4-5 times louder than our big built in refrigerator) -
this thing is a great ice producer.
The ice cubes are fairly large oblong shape- much bigger than my prior bar ice maker.
If you are expecting typical smaller square type ice this is not for you.
The return policy was cost prohibitive with a 30% restocking fee etc so we are trying to sell this if anyone is interested.

Great - Clear hard ice,
December 15, 2010

This review is from: EdgeStar Full Size Ice Maker - 65 lb. Capacity
Great product. I've been using it for about 30 days.Lot of ice and might do very will in a Physical Therapy setting.The machine
makes about 30 ice cubes every 15 minutes and will continue production until the bin has about 25 pounds of ice (two large bags),
then it stops production. Cubes are clear ice (hard) about 1" in diameter and 1" long, bullet shaped and hollow. It is noisey dumping
cubes into the plastic storage bin.
The storage bin is not refrigerated, so over time the cubes will melt and be replaced by new cubes. This keeps the cubes from
sticking together.
Ice production resumes as the ice level melts down or you remove ice. Over a 24 hour period I was able to fill three medium sized
ice chests buy emptying the bin about every eight hours.The only problem I've had was when installing the water line saddle I did
not 100% open the water valve. This was starving the machine for water and the result was first it made a couple of dumps of milky
colored ice and eventually a large block of ice formed on the cooling coils. Once I got it thawed out and deteremed the machine was
starved for water I opend the valve 100% and it has worked like a dream every since.

3. With some testing I determined the saddle valve (purchased at Lowes) didn't fully open until the last two full turns.How do you
know if it's starved for water? The water tray must be full up to the draini line. Therefore, the water tray needs to maintain between
1.5" and 2" of water in it during the ice manufacturing cycle. During this cycle the machine sprays water on the overhead cooling
coils. If it can't maintain between 1.5" and 2" of water, during the spray cycle the spray water stream doesn't quite reach the coils
properly. Eventually it will run low on water and start pumping an air/water mixture. The result will either be milky colored ice or
eventually a block of ice. If you see air bubbles being sucked into the water pump tube then you don't have enough water in the
water tray. The reason is most likey the machine is not getting enough water during the fill cycle.It will makes about 25 pounds of
clear ice every 8 hours. I installed it in the basement, so the ambient air is about 70 degrees all the time. If the room air temperature
is higher then the ice production would be a little less.BTW, I am running "soft" water in the machine (water softener" and it still
makes clear, hard ice. I did see a post that soft water would result in white ice. The only time I got white or milky colored ice is
when it was sucking air because the water level was too low.I have tendonitis and use it to make an ice bath twice a day to remove
inflamation in both arms. I do this by filling a 2.5 fool long PVC pipe (6" diameter) with ice and water. This machine might well
meet the needs of a physical therapy group that might do something similar to what I use it for.
