I loved this machine! It produced Ice fast and perfect. Not quite like Sonic Ice, but close. It's actually tube ice cut short and somewhat a "wet" ice. However, after about three months I found a piece of the auger had broken off and is in the ice bin. Still love it, but not neccassially durable / safe.

Makes ice nuggets my wife loves. It works as advertised. I would love to have a larger one but this was a good deal at the time on a limited budget and it's a great replacement for our garbage Samsung refrigerators ice maker that rarely works...

This was a very good product, until it wasn't. One day it made an awful racket and jumped about a foot in the air. So I unplugged it and returned it to the store for the refund. Wes good untill it wasn't.

5 months and it now has a horrible squeal that stays away for about 4 days after I clean it with warm water and white vinegar. We loved it at first but the dogs and I can't live with the squeal. Very disappointed. Thankfully we have Total Tech so I will be taking it back.

Ice maker works fine and creates the ice as described. However, you can’t leave the ice in the machine. Meaning you have to make ice and move it to the freezer. We didn’t see this anywhere in the product description and only discovered this after reading through the manual.
