    For making great ice I would give 5 stars. The only way we make ice now is to schedule it at night for the next day. This machine makes so much noise during the ice-making stage you can't hear yourself think.

    absolute best ice maker, ge version is so much better than the nugget maker w/out ge name... i had both and its worth the extra $. Smooth corners, ice bucket can open and stay attached, buttons are better and has a light :) i can't live w/o this. I had 2 of the non GE ones... and now a GE one... life expectancy 3+ years... i hope

    Love the ice. The cleaning process is easy and because the ice machine tells you when it needs clean you don't have to wonder when to clean. I do wish it was made where I could put a glass under and it would fill. I don't use the side tank because it takes up too much room on the counter.

    Love, love, love this ice machine. It took a little time (40 mins) for the first time to make the nuggets. After the first time it has been really fast at making ice. It makes ice like Sonic the fast food place, so if you enjoy Sonics Ice then you will definitely enjoy this machine. Pricey, but worth it.

    High cost but you will get daily use out of it. I started drinking more water as a result since i love icy cold water. Even my dogs enjoy it as a snack in their bowl. The primary tank is a pain to fill and the reservoir tank jams easily so ill deduct a star for that. At this price for ice this thing should be flawless and it almost was.

    The ice cubes are good, and it makes them pretty fast, but it has a hard time pumping the water and at times the motor makes loud screaming noises.

    Makes great nugget ice. On day 2 however it started making a faint squealing noise. I had noticed from other reviews people had mentioned the same thing after 4 months. I didn’t waste any time to do an exchange. Still waiting on the new unit to arrive. Giving it one more chance because it does do what it’s supposed to quite well.

    My advice is to make sure to follow the cleaning instructions and dont leave it in a dust prone area, it will keep making fresh nugget ice all day if you keep the pump and resivour clear.
