Expensive, but worth if...if you like chewable ice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros - It's the type of ice I have wanted at home but never knew how to describe. It's like the ice that I used to get with fountain drinks at the little league snack shack. It's the ice that made me always want a fridge with an ice machine that could do good crushed ice...but it was still never the same. This machine also makes ice quickly, and is not nearly as noisy as some of the other reviews would suggest. Cons - It's expensive. And it's a little tall for some under cabinet locations. That's really all the negative I can find.

Great ice maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using our ice maker for about a month, now, and we love it. It is quieter than expected and makes plenty of perfect ice. We stockpiled ice in our deep freeze for our Thanksgiving family gathering and it was so nice. I will say it is preferable to store ice in plastic ziplock-style bags and not in Tupperware-style storage containers, as the ice will be slightly wet and cause it to freeze in clumps. It is much easier to break apart when stored in bags. This is a large unit and did not fit under our upper cabinets, so we use it on a rolling cart to move it near the sink for drainage and cleaning.

Makes the best pellet ice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my wife for Christmas. I’ve been wanting to get her one for a couple of years now and finally decided to make it happen. My wife loves ice, especially the pellet ice. She says this is some of the best ice she’s ever had. As compared to Sonic ice, the Sonic ice doesn’t even come close she claims. As for setup and operation, it was very quick and easy to start. It took several hours to fill up the bin, but once it’s full, it maintains a good amount of ice, even with more than moderate use. Highly recommend.

It’s has become a staple in our house when grabbing a drink or just something crunchy. The only problem we had was with the filter but once it was in right everything has been smooth ever since.

Great Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My refrigerator’s ice maker broke 2 yesrs ago and i needed something to make ice. FYI dont ever by a Samsung refrigerator, theyre junk. This GE makes ice so fast and the ice is the incredible Sonic style ice. Maintaining the machine is paramount though. It needs descaled at least once a month depending on your water quality. Overall, I can’t recommend this machine enough if you need an ice maker.

Noisy But
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had for a month now. Works as advertised. It took approximately two hours for ice bin to fill the first time. It has made a couple of “growling” noises but continued to work fine. Pros : it makes nice ice and we have not ran out (family of 5). Cons: it’s fairly noisy but getting use to it. Also I wonder how much electricity it uses. So far overall I’m satisfied. Four stars because of noise

Enjoying our 2nd machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love our ice maker! One important note, make sure to get the extended warranty. May reviewers mentioned their machine had issues just after the one-year mark and how easy the exchange process was with the extended warranty. We had the same problem. The machine itself makes great nugget ice, quickly with a minimum fuss. We have not used the WiFi capabilities so I can't comment on that.
