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.

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.

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.

Love this ice maker

Small, quick

I'm not happy with this purchase. We bought this ice maker at the end of April and it's only September and it's no longer working. It freezes up like a block of ice every time instead of making cubes like it's supposed to. We have tried thawing out out, looking for leaks, to no avail. This is backed by Sam's Club guarantee so hopefully they'll make it right.

Works great!

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.

Excellent ice cube maker

Great
