I have the adler barber cold machine in Alianna its a good unit now 20 or more years old still workin good never serviced. Best to insulate the ice box well thats not too easy and i have not done a complete job at that part It draws about 5 amps so i cycle it on and off and always on when under engine power. It will make ice cubes thats good
