I was a little nervous paying this much for an icemaker. Most of mine only lasts 12 to 18 months due to heavy family usage.. scrolling through all the options I did not want bullet or nugget ice because of how fast they melt and turn my drink watery. So I took the plunge and took a chance on these new round sphere ice cubes. I am so glad I did. I fell asleep with our old ice in my glass and woke up the next morning with some of the ice still in there frozen. I will never go back. The only negatives are, I wish it had more water storage . It only makes two or three ice cubes per hour, but I can live with that considering how long they last.. I also wish the container for the ice held more than an average 10 ice cubes before it says it’s full and shuts off. Regardless of the little things, I am totally happy with this one and I’m looking forward to getting a second one because I’m an ice hog in our house and maybe my family should be allowed to have some too. LOL!
