Avanti PIM25SS Conclusion
The Avanti PIM25SS has many qualities that make it stand out from its competitors, the most obvious of which is the way its ice-holding compartment opens. On most other ice makers, the lid opens up, requiring more clearance above the machine in order to properly open the door. The door on the Avanti PIM25SS opens out from the front like a drawer, and thus can fit in tighter spaces because it does not require the same vertical clearance. The one drawback from this configuration is the lack of a viewing window to monitor the progress of the ice-making process. The compact size allows the machine to fit almost anywhere in the house.
What most sets the Avanti PIM25SS apart from the competition is that it has an automatic shut-off mechanism. When the ice tray gets full, the machine will detect this and will automatically stop making new ice. It is perhaps this advanced technology that makes the unit slightly more expensive than ice makers of similar size. Because the PIM25SS is smaller than most models, its daily production quantity and ice storage capacity are reduced. The Avanti PIM25SS is a great choice for anyone looking for a smaller ice maker that requires less monitoring and is willing to pay a little more for these added benefits.
