Comments about Danby Danby Ice Maker:

I heard that Danby was the best icemaker on the market for home use. The first machine had a bad sensor and ABT promptly sent me a new machine which works great! It does everything it says it will do.
ABT provided a return UPS tag so I could return the first machine easily.

Use it daily but have to be careful that an ice cube doesn't fall behind the ramp. It jams when basket gets full and ice cubes back over into the tray area when the ramp retracts for the next freeze cycle. The cube melts and becomes small enough to fall behind the ramp when the it cycles. This pushes up the ramp on the next freeze and causes it to jam when dumping the next batch of cubes. The unit either shuts down or pops the ramp out of it's hinged recess. It has done this twice in 2 months. The first time, it popped the ramp out of place and shut down. Second time, it jump shut down. :-( Engineering should fix this.

The drain design is poor: it is off the back (and this thing is heavy), so you must turn it around. Then the drain isn't on the lowest spot, so you must tilt the unit back and forth until you hear no sloshing. To prevent mold, you are supposed to drain the unit completely. Did I mention the unit is heavy? But it makes great ice and does so very quickly indeed.

Just purchased this ice machine, so only used it a couple of time at home. However, it going to be great for camping. It has different size ice settings and it drops ice every 10 minutes.

In the past I was used to professional icemakers that connected to the water supply and had a permanent drain. This device is a completely closed system, you pour a gallon of water in it, at the beginning of the day, it makes ice, and you pull a drain plug at the end of the day and let the unused water drain into the sink. That gallon makes about two bins of ice (about 6 lbs.) which for me is a days ice. It makes 12 cubes at a time and drops the first batch in about 13 minutes. I set the cube size to large (does S-M-L) but to me they are only medium sized. I love having fresh ice always available, so this is a great product for me. However, you can not buy it thinking that it will sit unattended for days or weeks and crank out ice. It works like a coffee maker, you fill it up, tap it all day, and empty it at night. It even has a delayed start timer like a coffee maker. (And like a coffee maker you'll have to clean it occasionally). There is zero installation, just plug it in and pour in water. (*note: the top swings up so if it's on a counter you'll need clearance above it.)

Really like the machine, made ice instantly, ice melted (not quickly), but the melted ice water appeared to reprocess. Thought machine was too keep some ice frozen. Machine was heavier and bigger then thought. We wanted the machine for our RV/Camper and will now use it for ice making in the summer months as our refrig doesn't keep up with our consumption. I would purchase again. Machine easy to use, directions simple. Just need water and electric, no additional items needed.

We had ice cubes in 15 minutes and the party was a success because of always having ice available ! A larger storage area (bin) is the only thing which could be improved, but otherwise, it`s a terrific product !

We use this product daily, it produces more than enough ice with no after taste. Simple and easy to operate. Compliments our frig. Ice maker.

Comments about Danby Danby Ice Maker:

It is great. I hate making ice in an ice tray. Not enough ice and it is hard to get the cubes out of the tray. With the ice maker, I can make ice when I need or want ice and it does not take long to get the first batch. Once you have all the ice you need/want, you can turn it off and just empty the extra water. I recommend it highly.

I consistently use this product and it definitely serves my needs. It's a space saver and definitely provides the ice that I need when I need it. There may be other products out there that may outperform this product but I don't know of them and I'd like to think that I did my homework prior to purchasing this product...can't beat the price.

I wish I would have bought one years ago

Comments about Danby Danby Ice Maker:

No need to fill up ice cube trays, and I have a little more free space in my freezer.

Comments about Danby Danby Ice Maker:

This makes lots of ice. I like the different size cubes. The only problem we have experienced is that the ice bin is not cold enough, but we haven't experienced clumping.

Comments about Danby Danby Ice Maker:

It makes ice quickly and efiently

Comments about Danby Danby Ice Maker:

Poor. Machine is very loud from fan in back Ice clumps, ice is not fully frozen when it leaves the tray. Drops into a storage area which is not cold enough to keep ice from melting thereby causing ice to clump. Not worth the cost

Comments about Danby Danby Ice Maker:

The ice it makes is not fully hard and the small ice bucket is not cooled and the ice clumps and melts.
