    Ice maker works grear and meets all of our needs for daily ice. Keep it clean and it works great. Using the bluetooth controls is easy for setting up the cube maker schedules. We run make ice twice a day and it is plenty for our normal, dailly needs.

    This is everything we hoped it would be! While it’s a luxury item, we are saving money on canned and bottled beverages like never before. The ice is sheer perfection. Unit is quiet. There’s nothing we don’t love about this machine!

    YOU THINK YOU KNOW LUXERY?! Well you don’t until you get this dope ice maker! Greatest purchase ever. I say that at least one a day as I’m opening the ice drawer and scooping out perfectly formed hospital like ice! I’m middle class, but this makes me feel like I could party with Jess Bezos. Everyone should buy. Worth it. I would give this 15 stars if I could!

    This ice maker provides nugget ice all day. The maintenance and the setup is simple. It pairs really well with my Bartesian drink maker. I find myself drinking more water throughout the day.

    LOVE IT. The frequent descaling/cleaning is somewhat annoying but I want it to keep working well. Time will tell how long it lasts as this the concern from reading other reviews. For the cost, it better last for a LONG time. However, the ice is PERFECT.

    This was a Christmas gift for my ice loving wife - man was she surprised when she opened it. The ice quality is exactly as expected (nuggets, Sonic ice, hospital ice) - whatever name it goes by. It is much better than the "test tube" cubes made with our previous countertop ice maker. The entire family is very pleased with this purchase. Although a bit expensive, I recommend it very much!

    I REALLY hope this thing lasts because it makes exactly what you want...crunchy tiny nuggets of ice with a slightly soft and chewy center. Its only been a few weeks but it works great so far and im really hoping with regular maintenance i wont become another statistic and it will continue producing this amazing ice for many years to come.
