    [Employee of bestbuy] I had to switch out this ice maker TWICE. Thank goodness for the Best Buy extended warranty or else I’d be put a lot of money. Only purchased it because our Samsung ice maker stopped working. Nugget ice maker is nice to have! If you buy it, get the extended warranty and put in the water filter!!

    Loved this purchase until it stopped working. I'm regretting not paying attention to the many dissatisfied reviewers online. You are warned: yes, it could happen to you. After 16 months my $600 purchase became a 40 pound paper weight. Pay for the extended warranty if you wind up buying this. Looks like you'll use it. ☹️

    The ice chips are great...after waiting for an hour for the ice tank to fill. Haven't tried the blue tooth feature, but definitely got to impatient on this ice machine. The water tank will be full but says "empty" and takes too long for it to fill up with ice. I would put the ice in a bag or container in the freezer but didn't like how it'll all stick together.

    Did not last 2 years. The motor went out. DO NOT PURCHASE this product. This ice was great while it lasted, but definitely not worth more than $250 a year, considering the cost of this item.
