    When it works, it’s great! The water pump gives out just after expiration of warranty, which appears to be a common problem per internet research.

    Wife loves chewy ice. This does the trick. It’s a little expensive but it’s worth it. Keep the reservoir filled with water and the machine will constantly put out ice.

    Nice ice machine. Makes enough ice for about 5 or 6 full cups of ice. Takes about 3 hours to make a full tray.
