Cons * Manual Defrost: Requires periodic defrosting to prevent ice buildup and maintain optimal performance. * Ice Type: Only produces crescent-shaped ice, which is softer and melts faster than harder, clear ice found in some commercial machines. * Customer Service Issues: Some users have reported missing parts and unhelpful customer support experiences. * No Energy Star Rating: The unit is not Energy Star rated and does not offer Wi-Fi connectivity. Conclusion The Summit BIM26 is a versatile and convenient ice maker, with its standout feature being the drain-free design that allows flexible installation in non-traditional locations.
