    I am so DISAPPOINTED! I love the nugget ice and it worked great for 5 days and it will no longer draw water from the tank. It still works if I pour water into the onboard basin, but that's not what I paid for. There are tons of ice machines that require constant water additions that aren't this expensive. I'm returning this weekend. The packaging on this one appeared repackaged and I'm not surprised. I feel like I probably received a return but judging from the latest reviews I guess I'll have to find another ice maker.

    The first one died after 14 days and I had to submit a support call. It took about three weeks to get a replacement. So far the replacement is holding up pretty well but just pray you don’t have to engage with support for this thing because it’s a nightmare. Email instructions don’t make any sense, takes them forever to get back to you. I had pretty high expectations because this is a $600 ice machine that only does one thing. When it works it’s amazing and my wife loves it, when it doesn’t well you know the rest

    Makes great chewable ice just wish it kept it cold so it didn’t melt so fast I. The machine does put off a lot of heat which could be a problem for your cabinets.

    Very expensive but we buy ice constantly. I think it should pay for itself in a few years. Be sure to use distilled water.
