    I chew on ICE, was really hoping to use this.... However upon reading how much maintenance and care this unit requires, I just realized this is NOT a good fit for me, I am not this kind of person. I like to plug and forget it. That's who I am.

      We appreciate your honest insight and understand that regular maintenance isn’t for everyone. Nugget ice makers do require periodic cleaning and care to keep the ice fresh and the unit performing at its best, with sanitizing recommended weekly and descaling every few weeks depending on water hardness. To learn more, check out the Care and Cleaning section starting on page 8 of the Owner’s Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website.

    Unit is bulky but did a good job of making nugget ice. The issues came later when mold started forming on the unit. Of course it being glossy black it wasn’t noticeable until it was too late. Best Buy’s new Total Tech replacement / refund is a joke now. $360 refunded for a $510.00 unit. So if you’re on the fence for total tech, think about what replacement or refund really means to you.
