    Family got this for my birthday. Best BIRTHDAY present ever! If you are addicted to Sonic ice this is for you. Very easy set up and use. It is pretty big so make sure you check your measurement. You will not regret this purchase. Hope this helps if you are in the market. Thank you family.

    This is the second of these we've owned. Hard water eventually took the first one out after four years. Not the manufacturers fault, mine for not cleaning often enough. Only filtered or distilled water going in this one. Vinegar is the best (and cheapest) cleaning solution.

    Works pretty good but it is kinda a pain to keep clean, after a few days the water tank starts to smell and the ice tastes funny and you have to sterilize it all over again, they really need to upgrade the UV light to make it kill bacteria better
