Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just used my NewAir ice maker for the first time today. I love it.
It's slower than I expected - I thought I'd have enough ice for a large iced tea in just minutes. No. However, now that I know, I can start it up a hour or so before I need it and have more than enough ice for a few large iced teas.
It's very easy to use. Give it a wipe down with a damp cloth before the first use, fill the reservoir with water, put the "ice tray" in, and select the cube size. It makes small, medium and large. I started with medium, which gave a cup-shaped cube about an inch long.
It seems to work by freezing water onto metal prongs, giving a cube that is hollow and open on one end. Keep that in mind when you choose the size. The open cubes will cool your beverage faster - more contact area, but they will also melt faster - thinner ice than a solid cube.
If it stops midway before all the water is used, try leveling the ice cubes in the tray. (Or bag them and move to the freezer.) There seems to be a sensor that stops production if the tray is too full - better than ice cubes all over the floor.
So, simple to use, needs only your basic 110 power, a little heavy, but manageable for almost anyone, I'd think, since I'm not exactly a weight lifter. I love the crimson exterior. Oh, and it even comes with a little ice scoop.
Free ground shipping! What a deal!
ADDENDUM: It doesn't freeze and hold the cubes over a period of time, e.g., overnight. However...if you leave it on, the ice will melt and drip back into the water reservoir, starting up the ice making process again...and again. Kind of hard on the energy bills, so bag it and store in the freezer if you don't use it all.
