    Little nuggets of pure Joy!

    Bought this ice maker as a Christmas gift for my mother, so far she says she absolutely loves it! She is an ice chewer and always said sonic ice is “the good ice” and that’s exactly what kind of ice this machine makes. Little nuggets of pure joy I’d say.. This device also has a light inside though not the brightest, gets the job done. The opal ice maker also connects to an app and tells you when it’s needs to be descaled and all that good stuff. It’s a great machine and gift!

    We love the ice when it is fresh. If it sits it seems to clump together. Overall happy with this machine, despite the price.

    Bought three of them at Best Buy. After the first I bought for myself, I bought two more for my sons. The ice is great and machine works flawlessly.

    Got this gift for our mom for Christmas. She is over the moon. Quite a few cleaning steps before you can make your own ice but as of right now, she's loving it.
