    I am so disappointed by this machine. I was so excited about it only had it for about one year if that, and started seeing particles, black particles in the machine and then black pieces in the bottom mixed with the ice large enough if you didn’t pay attention it could be dangerous.

    Product worked great for a week. It then started making only a handful of ice, would run forever and do nothing else until we powered it off. We went out of town, came home, tried to return it to Best Buy and were told "sorry, but you are 2 days past the 15 day return window. Try to schedule a repair." Yeah, I should have read the fine print for returns. But ONLY a 15 day window? Painful.

    GARBAGE PRODUCT! OVER PRICED! BEST BUY HOUSE BRAND

    Less then 6 months owning this device. Purchased for $350. Used on top of a kitchen counter. Well ventilated. Cleaned it as instructed in the manual. Leaks all over the counter and has a whining sound when ice deposits. Sounds like a failed motor in it somewhere. Constant leak from bottom of unit, drips water constantly. TERRIBLE BUILD QUALITY!!! couldn't even make it 6 months!!! Absolute ripoff.

      I am sorry to hear about your negative experience with this device. It is disappointing to hear that it did not meet your expectations in terms of build quality and functionality. It is concerning that it began leaking and making strange noises so soon after purchase, especially considering it was used in a well-ventilated and properly maintained environment.

      Based on your feedback, it seems that this device may have some serious design flaws or manufacturing defects. It is unacceptable for a product to fail after such a short period of time, especially at a price point of $350. This is definitely not the quality one would expect from a reputable brand.

      I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer or retailer for a resolution, such as a replacement or refund. It is important for customers to voice their concerns about such poor quality products so that improvements can be made in the future. Thank you for sharing your experience and bringing attention to these issues.
