**UPDATE**
It’s 3 months in and it’s still going strong with no problems whatsoever. I’m still in love with this icemaker. Just found out I can use 3 gallon water bottles on top to auto fill the reservoir (see photo) which makes an already excellent product even better! I only wish I could give it 10 stars!!!
This is at least my fourth countertop ice maker. I’ve had 2 bullets, a nugget (Sonic ice) and now this one that produces square cubes. This he is an absolute GAME CHANGER. It’s whisper quiet..the only noise o ever hear is that of the ice dropping. I only hear that when the collection basket is empty. The water reservoir and collection basket have oversized capacity so I’m not constantly having to refill the water tank and clear the ice from the basket like with previous machines. The ice itself ejects as a rectangular, segmented single “sheet” of cubes that are easily broken apart with the scoop or an ice pick. The cubes produced are SOLID and come out completely frozen vs. others that have holes in the middle or come out feeling very wet. They don’t melt in my drinks whereas previous models melted the second they hit my glass. I put ice in my tumbler around 10pm and there’s still ice the next day (12 hours later). If you’re not familiar with countertop ice makers, this is unheard of! It has a timer you can program, as well as a genius feature that allows you to shorten or increase the standard 13 minute intervals between ice dumps. This means the ice has more more time to freeze making it harder and last longer. The ice in the basket stays frozen for hours! It’s a complete game changer…
