Expert opinion

I recently had the pleasure of using the EdgeStar IB450SS 50 Lb. 15 Inch Undercounter Clear Ice Maker. This is a commercial grade, stainless steel ice maker designed for either freestanding or built in applications. It has a computerized control system and adjustable leveling legs for easy installation. The unit also comes with a removable ice bin and an ice scoop for added convenience.

I found this ice maker to be very easy to install and use. The instructions were clear and I was able to get it up and running in no time at all. The unit produces up to 50 pounds of clear, cubed ice per day, which is more than enough for any large gathering or event. It has 25 pounds of storage capacity so you don t have to constantly empty the bin. Additionally, the unit produces restaurant quality clear, cubed ice that looks absolutely great in any beverage presentation.

The EdgeStar IB450SS is perfect for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient under counter ice maker that won t break the bank. It offers great value for money considering its features and performance. The unit is also well insulated so it won t freeze your food or drinks stored in the same area as the machine.

The only downside of this machine is that it produces ice in sheets which then need to be broken apart before serving. This can be slightly inconvenient but it s not a major issue as long as you keep an eye on the bin during production cycles and occasionally break apart the sheets manually if necessary. Additionally, please note that this unit needs a drain line not included as well as a condensate pump not included if you wish to drain water away from the machine instead of into a nearby floor drain.

Overall, I am very pleased with my experience with EdgeStar IB450SS 50 Lb. 15 Inch Undercounter Clear Ice Maker and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable yet reliable under counter ice maker solution for their home or business.
