    It was working from the time of purchase until yesterday so it worked about 6-7 weeks. In addition to it not working it started to be slimy where the ice was being produced and even after cleaning it it was always some black mold floating in the water.....

    I was hoping this would live up to the reviews but it didn't. In the month that I had it, I could only get it to work twice. The instructions that came with it weren't very good and they stated you could download a manual, but I wasn't able to find it without contacting the manufacturer.

    I bought this ice machine based on reviews and saved money for 4 months in order to buy it only for it to stop working after 7 months. I have a health condition called pica and need ice and after saving and spending a lot of money on this it is very frustrating it wont make ice anymore.

    Takes 12,hours to make a zip lock bag of “cubes” They are tiny hollow things that melt in 1 minute. Has a blower going non stop. I imagine the electricity used was a lot. Both inefficient and useless.

    Purchased this item for an upcoming party. Went to set it up and it would turn on but the pump would not prime. Complete waste of time. Returned it and will look at other options.
