Best purchase ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this ice maker. It is perfect. I’ve had it for several months and I have nothing bad to say about it. Buy the one with the side tank, it’s worth it 100%

Opal ice maker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ice maker is amazing and it keeps up with 5 adults. Some reviews state that it is noisy, but honestly, it doesn't bother us when the TV is on. I would definitely recommend this one! Easy set up and easy to fill water reservoir.

Great, but loud.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes great ice, fairly quickly - faster than our fridge, but its noisier than we expected. the defrosting stage is annoyingly loud and apparently not in error.

It is a picky machine
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, not worth the price tag unless you are ready to baby the heck out of the machine. It truly requires a lot of work unless you want to hear it scream loudly constantly.

Great nugget ice maker when lasts for a short time
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As much as we love the ice and capacity of this ice maker, with how much we have spent on this thing, we have had to replace it 6x in the past 4 years we have had it. I don’t recommend it. We have it had twice start leaking water profusely from underneath, three times now start making the most horrendous noises that can be heard throughout our entire house and once just quit working. Each time we were able to just have it replaced. Now we are told that was just a “courtesy” and they were wrong for doing that and it should have been sent out for repair each of those times. This time they have to send it out for repair and that will take weeks. It is October and we have only had this one since March. We initially bought our original one for $699 before tax. Absolute rip off with how many times we have had this thing replaced. With how much money we spent on this ice maker and it being under warranty, I can’t go with not replacing it but to say we are disappointed is putting it nicely. I do not recommend this to anyone. The longest one we had was just over a year. I would like to add we also have family members that have also bought one and have had to replace theirs in less than a year as well.

High Price but Good Ice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is no better ice! A little noisy and definitely pricey or it would get 5 stars. Highly recommend if you can stomach the price.

Lemonish Machine.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would love to be able to say this machine is great, but on my second one, all I can say is this is a very finicky machine. For the money, this should be fairly maintenance free and reliable. My first one died after two years making a howling sound like you wouldn't believe. Google the machine and noise, you'll see plenty of complaints. Thankfully, and thanks to Best Buy, I had an extended warranty, so out with the old, and in with a new one. I figured after two years, they would have refined the manufacturing and engineering and come up with a better product. Nope. Less than three days out of the box, occasionally you get a dying animal sound that will wake you up. I don't expect this one to last very long, and in fact, I may just return it this weekend to avoid the rush. Props to the Best Buy extended warranty for making this an easier decision. For the money, I would buy six countertop ones which will likely last a hell of a lot longer. May not be as chewable, but will work to cool your drinks. Good luck, YMMV.

Great machine - one squeaky issue.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the ice machine. Fantastic for our highly active home when the fridge's ice machine alone isn't enough volume to keep up. We have experienced one issue - one of the bearings in the machine has started to squeak/squeal. We are going through the exchange process to get a new one. Highly reccomend the machine, but would rather be honest about the performance issue after only 8 months of regular use.

“Good ice” ice maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been looking for an ice maker that makes the “good” ice & I finally found it in the ice maker. It is easy to use & makes all of the ice that I need without even using the reserve tank. I highly recommend it.

An Excellent Machine for Crunchy Ice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After moving to NYC from Atlanta, my wife bemoaned for years the lack of « the good ice » at establishments near us. So loud were these calls, I proceeded to investigate what exactly said « good ice » was. If you enjoy the crunchy, mouth pleasing, drink dispersing ice found commonly at Cane’s or CFA, run, don’t walk, to your closest Best Buy for this. Fantastic at full retail, a crime to miss at any discount
