User Manual

Q: Does the machine accept a water line inro the machine?

A: Thank you for contacting Newair. The unit NIM044BS00 cannot be connected to a waterline, it requires to be filled manually. Best Regards, Customer Care

Q: How long does the ice stay frozen before melting? Does it just keep making it as it melts, so that there's always ice in it, or does it wait for it to melt completely then start over?

A: Thank you for contacting Newair. Once the ice making cycle is complete the machine turns off and will manually need to be turned back on. Over time the ice will melt, since the ice maker does not have a freezing compartment to keep the ice cool after it is made and is recommended to store them separately. Best Regards, Customer Care

Q: What kind of water works best, distilled , filtered or can you use the water right out of the faucet . Also could you use any kind of club soda to make the ice softer?

A: Any type of filtered water will work. I wouldn’t recommend faceut water because depending where you live, your water could be hard or full of iron and that will mess up the unit.

Q: I see the product has a one year limited warranty. Is there an extended warranty that I may purchase????? I would purchase a 5 year warranty if it was available.

A: Thank you for contacting Newair. Yes, extended warranties are available for purchase and you can contact customer service for further assistance. Best Regards, Customer Service

Q: Does the ice stay frozen?

A: Thank you for contacting Newair. The unit does not have a built-in refrigerant to keep ice cool after it is made. Best Regards, Customer Care

Q: Different sites that sell this product have different bin size capacity listed. Best Buy had it at 1.5 pounds. Amazon gas if listed as 3.3 pounds. Which is correct?

A: Thank you for contacting Newair. The correct ice basket 1.5lb. Best Regards, Customer Care

Q: Does this machine recycle the water as the ice melts and re freeze it back into ice? If not, does it drain the melted ice into a reservoir or does the the melted ice just stay in the tub with the remaining ice? Thanks in advance!

A: Thank you for contacting Newair. Yes, the melted ice water is recycled to continue making ice. Best Regards, Customer Care

Q: Can you buy a filter for this machine?

A: Thank you for contacting Newair. The product does not have a replaceable filter. Best Regards, Customer Care

FAST! Excellent Ice and Looks Great
We almost bought an Opal years ago and were deterred by the horror stories (reviews). I've been keeping an eye on the various nugget ice machines that have popped up on the market. My neighbors have a few other brands, including the GE Opal. There were two things that helped me decide on this one vs the others. - 44lb of ice per day. Compared to the Opal at 24lb per day, the Newair is the clear winner. Let's be honest, most consumers won't even need 24lb of ice produced in a day. However, 44lb translates into faster ice production. I start the machine in the morning and before I know it, it's full! -Reviews: The reviews online are great and what's important were all the responses by the manufacturer. You don't always see that but it's great to see an engaged manufacturer. It gives me comfort that in the event I have an issue, I'll be in good hands. Startup is simple. You have to run a clean cycle with a full tank of water that takes 15 minutes. After it completes, you'll need to disconnect the hoses on the back and drain into a sink. My suggestion is to run the cleaning cycle next to your sink so you wont have to lift the unit after the cleaning cycle while its still full of water. In regards to noise, we've had a few countertop ice makers over the years (non-nugget) and they're pretty much all the same. The compressor/fan seems to be very similar in terms of noise. This unit is a little louder for the first few batches of ice that are produced, as the ice drops into an empty plastic bin. Once you get a little ice in the bin, it'll dampen the sound of the additional ice falling. I've read other reviews complaining about not having a climate-controlled bin. Give me a break! This is a sub five hundred dollar unit, I don't know what people expect. You're not going to find the exact same feature set you would in a $3000+ built in version. This unit in my opinion, is the best option in its class of countertop nugget ice machines.
