Buy this NOW!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a surprise for my wife...she LOVES good ice. We don't even use the ice from the fridge anymore because we always have great ice readily available. The built in WI-Fi feature is awesome for scheduling (if you don't want to run it constantly). Best gadget I've bought in a long time!

Worth the Splurge
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.BEST ICE MAKER EVER!!!!! Seriously, I have bought a couple of icemakers before this one, and none even come close to this machine. The ice pellets are small and crunchy. This is definently for those people that love eating ice!! I use filtered water, and cleanse the parts weekly to avoid "Slime in the ice machine."

Making the “Good ice”
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice produced is wonderful! It takes a little getting accustomed to connecting the tubes and filling with water without causing water to get onto the countertop. This is really an “operator issue” and not the ice maker. The ice produces fairly quickly and can be stored in freezer bags for later use if larger quantities are needed. We are really enjoying this premium ice maker.

Worth every PENNY!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! I love Sonic Ice but hate having to buy the bags they sell because half the ice always gets ruined due to melting. I am an ice cruncher and this ice is so soft and crunchy that it is perfect for me! It makes ice very quickly and continues to make ice all day. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t buy this sooner!

This is the one!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for an maker that does Sonic/Wawa type small nugget ice, this is the one! It makes ice really quickly and even when powered off it will keep the ice in the maker cold at least overnight. I was skeptical about spending this type of money for an ice maker, but it has been the best purchase I have made in a long time. Absolutely reccomend it.

Horrible Noise
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was good while it lasted. We loved having the nugget ice and the machine kept up with our needs until...it started making a horrible noise. It has been cleaned like the manual states to clean and we lost faith in keeping it plugged in when we are not home. It will be going back to Best Buy. Machine is less than two months old. I used filtered water with the optional filters. The search continues for another machine.

Great Ice! did a lot of research best deal and price for your money had it since September 2020 not one problem i did had to add a water filter because regular water clogged up the machine.

Good but not Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this ice maker because it’s stylish and looks nice under the cabinets. It’s a great addition if you do use as much ice as I do. I do own one of this already in another house for about 4yrs and been working like a champ. However, I bought a new one for my new home and I had to return it TWICE within a month. First one started to have a strange and annoying noise like quirking while defrosting. (Returned). 2nd one start having a massive leak within 4 days. ( Returned) 3rd one is working well so far.

The best ice maker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s worth it. It’s the best on the market and makes the most amount of ice. Having the ice in miniature cubes makes the water or any beverage just taste better. I shut my fridge ice/water off, best choice anyone can make.
