    Other than the fact thats its color is unique i would say that this ice maker rates lower than my previous two. The first one i had was made by Igloo and lasted almost two years. The next one was Hamilton Beach and that barely lasted a year. This icemaker makes ice fine but the clear plastic cover is its downfall as rhe ice melts because of the poor insulation and so you have half melted ice in the tray most of the time. The previous two ice makers had a bettet door with much smaller plastic windows.

    If your need ice for your drink this will do. Ice comes out fast but a bit small for my liking. For drinks it’s ok.

    We purchased this unit in july 2020. It lasted just over a year and the died. It started making a strange noise and sounded like air releasing. The last time was almost a pop and then it no longer would freeze. For the cost of this unit, I would have expected it to last longer. I also used bottled water at first and had little mold build up. I switched to a filtered water and i had a ton of mold build up ever quickly. There is no way to clean some areas of this mold. It really worried me.

    I wish the ice could stay there. You have to remove it and put in your freezer or it will melt. When I think of ice maker, I think of a my freezer ice maker, but that is far from this machine.

    Bought the ice maker for Christmas, broke four months later. Best Buy did an awesome job exchanging it out and we purchased the extended warranty in case it breaks again.

    I bought this for my mom on May 10th and was delivered on May 14th. It was wonderful, quiet, made consistant ice until last week (July 9th) it started making all kinds of noise, but still made ice. Now as of July 17th it has just stopped making noise and ice all together. Just sits there with the "ice full" light on. Ive tried the whole unplug it, plug it back in routine, but nothing works. So if you want an ice maker that will last, this is NOT the one you want. I got 2 months out of it.

    although, every 4 or 5 batches of ice taste like some kind of chemical. I threw the box away, and I drove quite far as I don't have a Best Buy in my neck of the woods. Now what do I do?

    This worked well for a bit, but stopped working just short of a year. Definitely recommend purchasing the warranty!! I was able to take it right in for an exchange.

    It was a good little ice maker for the 18 months that it worked. I only used purified water in it and made sure to keep it cleaned. However, the ice started to get more and more deformed and barely made ice. I cleaned it again and it just stopped working. Cheaper to just buy another ice maker than taking it somewhere to get fixed. I thought I would get more use out of it than just 18 months, so I will try a different brand.

    Upon unboxing Ice Maker what looked like a light oil, most likily refrigerant had leaked out of unit. After cleaning unit up filled with water, plugged it in and powered it up. After two and a half hours of running no Ice was made. Un plugged the unit re boxed it and returned it to Best Buy for refund.

    DO NOT BUY, item will last 3-6 months tops

    The first 3 months of owning this item were great. After that it began leaking into the fan that cools the system making the ice and it’s been nothing but an issue. I’ve rebuilt it twice, both times it worked for 2-3 days and conked out. No way to return it at this rate and too expensive to send back and be fixed. Do not buy this item, unless you just need ice for 3 months.

    It does it’s purpose but is a little loud. If there’s any any humidity in the room the ice that was made will melt and condensation gets over the countertop.

    Small storage area, so you have to constantly add water and remove ice cubes! SUPER SMALL cubes, btw! Not the best purchase. I wound up returning mine!
