Very easy to set up and clean. Doesn’t take up alot of space and produces ice quickly! I had ice in minutes. It’s little crunchy ice that is so good to nibble on. Only one complaint is that it is pretty loud. But I can take a little noise compared to the other machine that is several hundred dollars more.

Love this machine for its chewable ice (we use bottled water) and ease of use. It does take up a chunk of counter space and has a constant noise that can be irritating at first but after a while i stopped noticing it. Would be 5star but at 5months use it quit making ice. Will re-evaluate once we have the replacement at it proves to last. Still under manufacturing warranty.

This thing is great - when it worked. Ice was super crunchy and made drinks fun. However after about 1 year it started to wear out. It made intense squeaking and “howling” sounds. Best Buy was awesome and swapped it with a new one, but same issue after 4months. Very much recommend the extended warranty on this unit.
