I thought I read a review where someone said the dispenser scratched when lemon slices were placed outside of the ice cone. Is that true?

I don't know about that. I have placed things outside the ice holder and never had a scratch. I cannot say about this but I have no scratches.

These are obviously molded items. The ice tray you received may not have had the mold-release chemicals (these would only be on the surface, not to worry) completely removed. Just a theory.

I am guessing you mean the tab for filling the dispenser? Just lift off the tiny "lip" down below the handle. Okay sorry--seriously, it could be defective---for every product out there there is at least ONE that is defective. Just return it & get a new one---make sure you mark it as "defective"----this is a really great product--I have had mine now for 9 months & use it way more than the average person as I am a chef by trade---I will be buying another one soon b/c I have pretty much worn it out even on HOT pans---awesome product & you won't be sorry!

I don't think so. Out of curiosity I took a sharp knife and scratched it. Looks the same beneath as on the surface. I can't tell that it even has a coating. I've only had this for a few months but it's been knocked around in the gadget drawer and run through the dishwasher. Looks new.

Sure, it gets small scratches, but this is just like any plastic cutting product. My biggest problem was that I have sliced the guide going down the sides with my knife. Now it catches. Just go SLOW and easy and you will be fine.

I'm thinking about ordering this cookware. I read one review saying that it scratched the cooktop. Has anyone else had this happen?

I haven't had any issues with scratches. I'm not using Comet etc just baking soda. I LOVE this sink. Yes, the pitch should be more so it drains better but I will never go back to a two compartment sink again.

The book says it works better if you let them in the hopper for 15 + minutes. I have never had an issue. My ice comes out like a snow cone.

I took the guard out. Cuts great!! The dispenser will slip and slide when trying to use it. There is a fix for that. Wraptastic slip fix kit. Go to www.jbgizmo.yolasite.com or check it out on ebay. Hope this helps.

I had the exact same problem with mine! After two years of use I started noticing black plastic just like you... when I examined the bottom chute where the ice comes out I noticed the plastic chute seeming to split in the middle. I took off the top screws and examined the insides but could not see anything wrong... I assume the pieces are coming from the plastic starting to split. I ended up getting a new unit ... from what I have read in other reviews this thing has a limited shelf life and will break after a year or so... Since I love crushed ice in my drinks I just ended up getting another one because there seems to be no others on the market that can do a better job... the ' pro ' model should be all metal if you ask me and use no plastic at all... maybe they will make a better unit by the time my current one breaks...

I also discovered the base comes apart when I got water in it after cleaning. I am also curious to know if freezing water inside will help ice cream solidify a little more quickly. I don't see the harm in trying it, so if I do get around to trying it, I will do my best to post a response about it.

My issue for replacing this part and my ice making unit started with an appearance of peeling inside my ice maker tray. The coating was flaking into the ice it made. Could be your taste issue. Assuming your not dealing with a bad filter cartridge. I hope this helps.

Look at the bottom of the paddle It has a little bump on the part that fits into the bottom (you may have had it upside down) The paddle turns around and rubs the sides of the container and scraped the ice cream off the sides it doesn't Agitate, but only turns one way. I put mine on the wrong way the first time I used it. Be sure to secure the top onto the bottom before turning on the machine....there is only a little notch that it hooks into on the left side of the machine as you face it. Be sure and try the strawberry ice cream in the recipe book It's awesome

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

Nope. I used a no-stick skillet and it just sits there. Now if you pressed down on the insert and dragged it around the surface of the pan, I suppose it could cause scratches.

No... the clearance is pretty low. We usually shave our ice into a bowl then transfer to paper cone. Love the machine, but recommend investing in silicone cones or more durable cone as these are very thin and are pretty soft by the end.
