Have you figured out how to clean it yet? Specifically removing that wedge shaped water filter in the bottom so you can clean that area and back flush the filter. The tray is a bit tricky too unless you remove all the screws to remove the top for better access. I currently position the tray by pulling the plug when it's accessible and then feed in a paper towel, spray it with vinegar and push it around with a chopstick.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine! it's absolutely perfect for me. I'm on dialysis & have an extreme low fluid intake allowance. My kidneys are 100% gone, so every drop of fluid from all food or drinks stays in my body until dialysis takes it out. So eating this ice during the day is so much better for me insted of drinking lots of drinks. The only thing is I've had it for over a year & I have heard there is a filter I should be cleaning? I have not found it nor do I see it anywhere. I always have these tiny things in the bottom of the "clean" water. I have no idea what they are or where it's coming from & I have cleaned the entire system with soapy hot water, I also used bleach water one time & another time I used a strong watered down disinfectant to clean it. I even made a toothbrush to where I could scrub areas that could not usually be reached. However there are still these weird dark things always in the bottom of my water :( I'm open to any suggestions. someone told me it's just calcium build up but that's not it. There was a big blob of dark stuff around the right side gear and I cleaned it and got rid of it but I am still getting those wierd little dark things that usually stay at the bottom of the water but they can float when I add more water. lately I've been letting the water get low & I just get a paper towel and wipe them all out. what is this stuff & how can I stop it from getting in there?
Those dark granular objects are probably activated charcoal. There's a little triangular filter in the bottom of the reservoir which appears to use activated charcoal (which will not hurt anything if it does get swallowed). I'm wondering if that is the so-called Water Tube Filter?
.Can someone tell me the wattage for the compressor and how long the compressor runs?please. I am on battery an need to buy a inverter to run this device.
I can estimate this from nameplate data: the nameplate says the unit's maximum current draw (while storing ice if we can believe it) is 2.0 amperes. The unit runs on 110 volt AC house current, so 2.0 amperes multiplied by 110 volts is approxmately 220 watts. It will actually be somewhat less than this because the Power = Current X Voltage formula (Watt's Law) is for Direct Current (like that a battery produces) instead of the Alternating Current supplied to household receptacles. A closer estimate might be found by using the Root Means Square value of the peak voltage, which is about 0.636 X 110 in this case, about 70 volts give or take a couple of decimal places. That would, in turn give a value of 70 X 2 or 140 Watts RMS. These are still cocktail napkin estimates, but should be close enough for your purposes. I have no idea how long the compressor runs as yet, as I just unboxed this unit about a half hour ago.
You should never turn a refrigeration unit more than 45 degrees and definitely never turn it upside down. If you do it can shorten the life or ruin the unit. If you do you need to let it sit upright for at least a week before powering up. Then hope for the best.
Where do you put the water at and if it don't push the ice out what do I do

thanks good video it helps to see how it works and what the ice cubes look like. you can't see the ice cubes in the store.

Got to buy ONE 😍😍😍😍😍
Lisha rios they are perfect! I got mine at Walmart for less than $95.00 They were on sale & I even got a red one!
Where are how to put water in it?
Id like to know this as well
