We've had to use one of these for a number of years since our refrigerator can't make enough ice for two. This machine makes ice quickly. But for daily use I had two fail within the year warranty. The current one lasted longer (almost two years) but... They are prone to growing mold and other science experiments. I would run the machine through a full water tank full of heavily chlorinated water to get rid of the slime. But now it won't go away. I can see green slime (algae?) build up after a few days. I've decided to toss this one and get a new one.

Huge dissappointment. I have owned 2 in a matter of 2 years, both stopped working within a few months. I followed the owners manual on cleaning it. I bought the first one and second was a gift. The last one is constantly giving me the "add water" light even though it has the recommended amount of water in it. It definitely makes ice quickly but for it to only last 3 to 4 months, its not worth it.

It will break. I was lucky, mine lasted 11 months. Sams will only accept returns on it for 3 months. Manufacturer warranty is 1 year, but you have to pay to ship the heavy item back to them before you get a repair or replacement....on an item that won’t last you a year. It made good ice, but the fan is very loud. To the point I would have to turn a tv up in the next room to hear over the noise. Read plenty of other reviews about the machine breaking. Sams should stop selling this inferior item.

First off, it produces alot of noise, more then I had thought it would. Secondly it makes ice cubes and then they just end up melting away over time because the unit just doesn't stay internally cold enough. I assume it is a because of the water below the basket would freeze. Still.. it serves it's purpose

This was my first counter top ice machine. I love that it makes ice pretty fast, but I have found that it mildews pretty fast on the inside. I have found myself having to drain the machine and wipe it out about twice a month. It is not insulated well at all where the ice sits, so it melts pretty fast.

We have had our little ice maker for over a year. We use bottled water always, no issues here. When the cubes become cloudy, it's time for a cleaniing. Wipe inside and out with paper towel. Make sure that you run several rinse cycles afterwards. There's just two of us, so we turn it off while we are at work. When we get home, we turn it back on, within 20 minutes theres's enough ice for both of us. If this machine dies, we will be buying another one, the very next day. It's Perfect for us.

Love this for our home and to provide ice for a small group of people!

Works well. However the ice melts quickly.

The icemaker made one basket of ice and stopped working. returned

Icemaker works really well
