I was skeptical about buying this ice maker after reading other reviews. I have been really happy with the extra amount of ice this makes. It delivers plenty of ice for making frozen drinks in my 84 ounce ninja blender. It is usually recharged by the time I make the next batch. Also you can fill tall glasses and not run out of ice. I was formerly on a 26 pound maker and I would not have enough for blending and would typically run out filling glasses with ice in the summer and have to wait for ice. This unit is substantially larger than a smaller unit so just keep that in mind. I had mine shipped to the house it was packed well and had no damage. This unit was purchased on sale so a really good deal.

This machine is a trooper! Ran 24/7 for almost 18 months. The only downside is that the lid will not always stay up and can fall at the slightest jiggle. The ice is softer which we like.

The unit does not create the amount of ice that it says it can. I tested this unit along another with a lesser ice output capacity. To my surprise this unit even though, theoretically speaking, was to generate 40+% than its competitor, it only did about 15-20%. Also since it’s so large it does not keep the ice cool vs its competitors. Lastly, the unit is too large and heavy. The unit was returned given all the comments above, so I cannot provide reviews for its long term reliability.

This was the 2nd unit that I ordered. The first was dented by the delivery service. This one had a slight dent, but I kept it rather than bother with returning it since the dent was in the back.
My issues are that mold grows inside after a month and sometimes the ice looks "patchy" as if the unit is not cold enough.
Overall, a good basic and inexpensive ice maker that probably should only be used for events.

This makes plenty of ice for my family of 4. When our fridge ice maker was un-repairable, we purchased this instead of a whole new refrigerator. It has a large tray that holds lots of ice. We definitely recommend!
