    TERRIBLE ICE MAKER

    GE has the WORST customer service, the ice machine stopped making ice. Like a dummy somehow I overlooked buying the protection plan from Best Buy. The ice maker was still under warranty and got a huge!! run around trying to get a replacement. The customer service person I first spoke with at GE was telling me to do all these things to troubleshoot that aren’t listed in the owners manual, second person I spoke with was far more reasonable and helpful, but still had a bunch of hoops to jump through. I bought this thinking spending this amount of money it would last. Cleaning is a LONG process and needs to be done every 8-12 weeks and the machine has to sit for 18 hours. The machine is heavy!! I’m sorry I bought it!! It looks really nice, but ultimately who needs a $550 paperweight? When it was working it was great, GE knows there is a problem with this model and when you call customer service it’s bad.

    We’ve had about a month with it and used it at a get together with family (4 adults and 3 kids) and it did great. Ice is soft and really good at cooling drinks fast.

    Very nice machine, would be better if it had a cooling mechanism to keep the ice cooler, produces a steady stream of ice and is easy to refill the water container.
