Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Haier HPIMD25B Single Glass Ice Dispenser
Customer Review: Not as good as it looks
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted an ice maker because I use a lot of ice and keep breaking the ice cube trays in my freezer which fills my freezer with thick layers of ice. I began my search and almost immediately came across this product. After seeing it I thought it looked great and I like the concept of having the dispenser as well. So I bought it.
At first I was pleasantly surprised at how fast I heard ice falling out of the trays. It only took about 15 minutes. When I tried to get the ice out of the machine two things were immediately obvious:
1. I had to stand there for about a full minute for the ice to come out.
2. The ice cubes are pretty tiny, but I guess that's how they are frozen so fast.
I was certain that once the machine filled up with a few batches of ice then I wouldn't have to stand there for so long. I was wrong.
I'm droning on so I'll break it down. After a week I returned this ice maker. There are several reasons for this return:
1. The two reasons I mentioned above.
2. Several minutes after ice was dispensed and I was sitting on my couch I'd hear one or more ice cubes fall out of the machine onto my counter, and occasionally onto the floor making a mess.
3. The bin that stores the ice isn't really insulated, so the ice keeps melting causing the need to make new ice.
4. The bin that stores the ice almost never fills up. When it says it's full usually the ice is built up on one side which seems to fool the machine into thinking it's full.
5. The arm that pushes the ice from the tray into the bin would occasionally get stuck on a piece of ice and either stop dumping ice into the bin or repeatedly cycle back and forth (not sure if I really said that the way I meant it).
6. On occasion I would hear a nasty grinding sound that I didn't trust, but I never got to the machine fast enough to see what was happening. It was probably the spiral arm in the bin that pushes the ice around the bin or the other arm that pushes the ice out of the tray.
This was all frustrating enough after a week to make me return the device and I'm fairly patient. I plan on looking into purchasing a replacement machine, but not one with a dispenser like this. I'll also look into the reviews more carefully next time.
