Great ice maker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is a great ice maker. I add filtered water to enhance the "flavor" of the water. No flavor means great tasting water. The only reason I didn't give a 5 stars was because of the price.

Ice Maker Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am extremely pleased with this ice maker. It produces consistently perfect ice every time, and it has proven to be well worth the investment. The included metal ice scoop, along with the convenient side attachment, is a thoughtful addition—no more searching for the scoop, as it now hangs neatly in plain view. Overall, an excellent product. All I can say is: ICE, ICE, BABY!

Loud
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is very loud, in my experience, and feels like there's not much ice, well, as a person who really likes these pebble ice. Love the ice though. When first setting it up and reading all the directions, this item seems to be a high maintenance ice maker and just going to make me frustrated overtime. Overall, without all the other issues, the ice is pretty great, but would not recommend this.

Ice Maker 2.0
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great but it’s a bit temperamental and by this is the line which pulls from the reservoir. If it’s not lying flat, it will get air locked and water will not flow to ice maker internal reservoir. Also was took by Best Buy this ice maker would make three different size ice cubes but it does not do so. Only the so called sonic ice.

What the actual heck
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It makes fantastic ice… but it is wildly unusable. My first machine lasted 2 weeks before it started making noises like a demon being exorcized from a shrieking cat. It is so loud I can hear it FROM DOWN THE ROAD when I’m walking my dog. It’s a wonder my neighbors never made a noise complaint. I returned it and got a new one. The new one lasted an entire month before it started doing the same thing. If I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d just buy a new fridge with a good ice maker in it. If you own a home, honestly do that. Save yourself the trouble and your hearing.

Just get it!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She's always wanted a nugget ice maker. This one is awesome and well built. Loads of capacity and makes ice fast. Cleaning process isn't too hard and keeps ice nice and fresh tasting. We love the light and the extra storage tank is super easy to fill. The magnetically attached scoop holder and scoop can be placed anywhere on the side of the unit. Love this thing!

Works great if you do two things
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This icemaker is the best icemaker I have ever owned but you have to make sure you do two things in order for it to keep working well. 1) DO NOT USE THE FILTER. After a short period of time, it simply will not support the flow of water required by the pump for the system to work properly. 2) Instead, use filtered, purified water in the system. My daughter has a Brita filter on her kitchen tap that reduces the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to around 150 ppm (use a tester). I took it one step further and take that water and use a countertop RO water purification system that reduces the TDS to zero (it is probably not, but my meter only reads parts per million and not lower). By using that water, and no filter installed in the icemaker, I have been using the icemaker for around three months with no issue (no descaling, no cleaning). I am planning on cleaning the icemaker every few months or so, but so far, no issues with what other reviews have said on BestBuy and online (low water alert, descale, etc.)
