How does the ice-maker work? Is it plumbed or simply ice trays?

simple ice trays and btw it doesn't work too well either, it takes forever for anything to freeze completely..we have ice pops for the kids that I put in about a week ago and they are still not frozen.

You add the ice in the top. Once you twist the lid on top closed, it starts to produce the shaved ice. My daughter is 8 years old, Her and her friends make them by themselves with no problems. Great item to have, kids use it year round!

its starts melting at first, and then the whole unit cools down, any ice that melts goes back into the pool of water used to make the ice. After the unit gets going, the ice melts very slowly, you won't be disappointed. If any ice melts, the unit just keeps on making ice so there is always fresh ice in the unit for when you want it.

I just installed this ice maker and am having the same issue. The ice comes off in a big block and does not separate without beating on it with the scoop. Still does not completely separate. We have reduced the temperature and it is a bit better. Going to reduce the temp a couple more degrees and see if that is the fix.

2screws one plug. Make sure you have the paddle guard if it matches your old ice maker otherwise it will not fit. Paddle shut off has an on off switch thT pushes paddle back so it won't make ice.

It works best by pushing downward on one side of the ice cube and sliding the ice cube out of the tray in the opposite direction. They are flat on the top side and crescent shaped underneath. The other option is to do the traditional "twist" of the tray and the ice cubes pop out. It is practically impossible to grab the ice cube while it is still in the tray and pull it straight out.

This is a great machine, but what determines the ice is the ice you put in it. We have found that store bought bagged ice works much better than ice from our own refrigerator ice maker.

It doesn't store ice. It makes it and you either remove the cubes or the melt back into liquid to make ice again. We emptied each bin and froze in bags in freezer for use when needed or wanted. It does make ice quickly.

The top ice chamber shaves the ice and sends it to the bottom. The ice is perfect for snowcones. No chunks. Makes good frozen drinks. Best I've seen for shaving ice, but there may be some more out now as I have had mine a while. You can use ice from your icemaker if you let it set out for 15 minutes, otherwise use bagged ice.

It shaves the ice like snow. A small amount is in little chips. The thing I like about this machine is that you can use ice cubes rather than freezing larger portions. I hope this helps.

Yes just regular ice cubes work great! The opening is too small for ice blocks actually. The machine works great for the low price!

This model has to be manually defrosted. It does come with a small ice scraper, which if used regularly, keeps the ice build up to a minimum

Open the top and put ice (cubed or crushed) in the basin. Hold a cup under the blue outlet and push down the white top (closed). the snow cone maker's motor starts and the blade breaks up the ice and it pushes through the blue outlet.

I also did not get the typical ice-cube tray; like others, I do have a drip tray. Is it possible that what the site says: "Includes coated wire slide-out shelf, 2 leveling legs and ice cube tray" they really mean a drip tray? If I were to guess, that's what I'd think.

I don't, but it's all brass so why not...connect using 1/4" copper tubing. The metal would probably be very hot to the touch! Mine is hooked up with the water filter going to the ice maker.

Did not connect to ice maker. We used it for our motorhome because a lot of RV parks have low water pressure and the tank does not turn off if pressure is not high enough. It produces water more quickly.

I haven't used the tray for making ice, but imagine that it would work great! I plan to use it for sauces and ice when I'm done with baby food. I highly recommend this tray - the frozen items pop out fairly easily and it cleans up really well!
