    Wow this is awesome, wanted bar ice at home for years. Makes ice pretty quickly but lets face it it is relatively small so it will handle a few guests but not a big party.

    waster of money

    this ice maker was a complete waste of money. About 6 weeks before we had had it a year, it started making a terrible grinding noise( apparently a common issue). We reached out to GE, and after a lot of back and forth, we were asked to film the noise. So we did. Then they finally decided that they would send us a "new" machine with no warranty. once it was received, we sent the other one back. After 6 days with the "new" ice maker, it started telling us to add water, and would not make ice. we learned this is ask a common problem with this machine. clearly we were sent a refurbished machine instead of a new one. Since we were without a warranty, we donated the ice maker to Goodwill and vowed to never purchase another GE product again.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
