    Best ice ever! Was a little worried about making this purchase after reading some of the reviews. But, we haven’t had any issues with our machine and we LOVE the bigger ice.

    This is a very excellent ice machine. It makes ice like at restaurants. I use my ice machine everyday. I actually had bought two of them several months apart to give one of them to my niece. I gave her the stainless silver one and I got the black stainless steel.

    Really like the mini cube ice. Being in hawaii we really miss Sonics as their ice is the best and this ice maker machine remind me of it. The crunch of the ice is satifying

    Very easy to clean ice machine that produces reliable and satisfying ice. I was hoping the app allows for selecting between nugget ice and regular ice but as the title implies, only produces nugget ice.

    Works good. Produces a good amount of ice a day. Hopefully it last a long time to make purchase worth it. It is expensive for Ice. Would recommend it, best ice for drinks.

    Extra water tank

    The ice is fantastic when the machine is finally working. I had to return my 1st one because the extra water tank wouldn't refill. I returned the ice machine and Best Buy gave me a different one without the tank. This one works better but I refill it which can be a pain. I was told they are moving away from the refill tank. Not sure if this is actually accurate info. We do love the ice ... my advice is to purchase the warranty and keep replacing as needed. It's kind of a hassle.

    Wonder machine. Very easy to setup. Only downside is it ruins drinks because you cant have a drink without the ice after you use it once. Bought one for my sister as well.

    Love this machine! My wife and kids are addicted to crushed ice and use it all the time. Would highly recommend using distilled water, prevents break downs. We have used ours constantly for the last 16 months without a hitch.

    We have been through numerous cheep versions. This one is quieter and much better than other options. Only use purified water, and clean regularly

    Have had the ice maker for a few weeks now and it is working like a charm. I have a First Build design that was used when I got it. It never quite worked right, and was kind of loud. This 2.0 model is great. Always have a good supply of the pellet ice. Totally satisfied
