Super noisy

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.

Great ice maker. Got this one after the one I've had for 4 years went out. I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. Once it gets going, it fills with ice quick. The water leaves fast, so check frequently once it's close to empty. Definitely recommend

Love it!

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.

Makes ice in 6 minutes

I purchased this when our commercial ice machine stopped working, about 8 months ago. While it is a little tedious to use, it serves the purpose. The ice tends to clump together, but we generally use it in large beverage servers. It runs for 8 hours 2-3 days/week. I empty the ice into containers and keep them in the freezer. It's much better than using ice cube trays, which people tend to almost empty (leaving 1 ice cube) and put it back in the freezer... We're a medium sized church with a lot of daily activities. We still buy bagged ice for large events, but we needed to do that with our commercial unit.

I have owned 3 of these now. Nice little ice makers but the life expectancy is only about 18 months. That is the reason I have owned 3 so far. They just stop working and no matter what I do it's done. So I throw it out and buy another one. My third one just went out so I will be going to Sam's to purchase another one.

Great purchase

Love it very convenient
