Too expensive
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pellet ice maker. This is so not worth the money that was paid for it. This was supposedly a gift for my birthday despite the fact that I never use it nor did I ask for it. It is constantly cleaning itself and always out of water. We even have the extra side container for water. I finally had to uninstall the app due to all of the alerts I was getting. Someone that may be deep into the GE ecosystem of products may love this product. In fact, before I accidentally found out what was spent on this I asked my wife to take it back. By the time I knew the price tag, it was too late. My wife and kids use it and like it. I won’t even fill up the water. It just takes up a lot of space in my bar.

Worth every penny if you like "Sonic" ice.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. Pretty pricey. Was a simple installation, manual was legible, and yhe ice is perfect. I purchased it for my late mother last year as a mothers day gift. It was one of her favorite gifts before she passed. She wouldve given it 5 stars, so ill do it for her.

Make Ice pretty quick
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product! Because of how hard the water is in my area, it does require frequent sanitizing and descaling. Other then that, I am real happy with this Ice Maker.

Works Great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this thing so far! Ice is delicious and I love that I can use the app to set the times for it to be on. Makes ice quickly and is relatively quiet for what it is. We were going to replace an undercounter ice maker with a nugget version, but this was a much better value.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is well worth the hefty price tag. I love eating ice and this is my favorite kind. I had another ice machine with the bullet ice but it seemed to melt very quickly (possibly because of the hole in the middle) leaving my drinks watered down. This never happens with this ice. It’s chills fast and melts slow.

Buyers Beware...Read reviews before purchasing.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ice maker will make a horrid squealing sound throughout the making process. We have followed the protocol for cleaning, descaling and more and it continues to perform with issues. While the ice it makes is nice, and the unit looks nice, the level of maintenance and care required in addition to the fact it continues to have problems is causing regret for this purchase. And we are beginning to experience shared issues with customer service, which is frustrating. Hoping the manufacturer steps up and replaces or refunds us for the defective unit. There is no reasonable explanation for the issues we are having. By reading the reviews on GE's website, it is clear this is a known issue and I don't see any evidence they are willing to accept responsibility. Fingers crossed. But I do not recommend this unit. Buyers beware.

Worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent ice maker! Super quiet and makes ice very quickly. We had a cheaper nugget ice maker previously and had issues with it being very loud and leaking. Not the case with this one! This is one of those times that it is worth the money for the name brand.

Great Ice Machine!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome ice maker! The pellet ice is clean and produces very fast. One note is to clean the system once a month by using a descaler so that the pumps don't clog up or use ultra-filtered water.
