Q: Does this make ice as good as Sonic? A bit nervous buying this with so few reviews.
A: It’s close but not the same. Check out the review I just wrote. If you want the exact same as Sonic ice, buy the GE Opal
A: Sorry, I'm dealing with the same thing. I have cleaned it also with no luck.
A: Yes but sound is bearable
Q: Do run a water line to this machine or do you have to add water as it makes ice
A: You have to add water as it makes ice
A: Yes it has a cleaning cycle that you set when you want.
A: It is not refrigerated and the melting ice is recycled
A: I'm assuming since it's been a month you've figured this out. For others, yes, fill with water, run cleaning cycle, drain by removing both tubes from back of machine and pulling the plug that's attached to both tubes. Make sure to wipe out water area. Oh, the little white ramp/perforated filter in the bottom of the water bin....pop that off and wipe out the water inlet underneath there. If you don't, it will get gunked up!
A: Yes, I did the same thing. I love not having refill the machine all the time.
