    I love the ice pellets or crushed ice consistency. It works well and I don’t have to be watching it to avoid blockages.

    This makes some of the best ice ever! I use it every 5 days - just make enough out of a few gallons of distilled water to save in freezer.

    It’s great. A little noisy when it’s making ice but not unbearable.

    Wanted to love it long term, but only a year.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A great machine until after a couple of months, then just goes down hill. Not sure it is worth the Price tag since you only get at most a year of worth. Might as well go buy the Sonic Bags of ice, and save your money. It is definitely not quiet as well.

    Get the warranty.

    I can’t even tell you how many of these ice machines I got. Thankfully it comes with a 1 year warranty. Don’t get me wrong, it makes THE BEST ice, but it constantly breaks. I just got a replacement 10 days ago and it decided to give out and leak all over my counter while I was out of town and now my cabinets/counter is warped. Just beware these things aren’t made too great I guess? Oh and when it makes ice it’s very loud, like a loud banging noise. Since I’m on number 5, I’m assuming that’s normal since every one of them did it.

    Cheap junk!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I received this ice maker for Christmas. It ran great for about 3 weeks before it started making a horrible sound. I started turning it off after the ice bucket was full and only turning it back on when I needed more ice. By the beginning of February it wouldn't even make ice. For the amount of this product I would've expected it to last more than a month.

    Bought this in July of 2023! The ice maker started to leak water from internally. Im glad we had a catch basin under the ice maker. This is the second unit we’ve owned and we have had horrible luck with these. I would not recommend buying this ice maker! Buyer beware!
