Love the nuggets!

Makes a lot of nuggets (ice), more than the less expensive ice makers on the market. You do need to "clean" the unit once a week and then change the filter once a month. However, cleaning the less expensive machines was a pain since you had to wash it by hand. For the GE, you use the descaler powder, change the filter and you're good to go. (Well, I think you're good to go since I haven't owned it for more than a month yet.) You do need to place it close to a sink to facilitate easy draining.

Just as good as sonic ice!

This makes the best ice and makes it faster than I was anticipating! Setup was simple enough. The tank is helpful because I think I would be adding water frequently without it. Best purchase I’ve made in a while!

Counter top Ice Maker

This is a nice durable ice maker. It's a little bit heavy but well built. Very easy to install and makes great ice crunch cubes. This ice make is a very quite unit compared to others we have had. My wife loves this ice maker.

Ice ice baby

After 2 days i nearly returned this product because i couldn't quit figure it out... but i am SO happy i didn't! Once i learned what everything meant, how to set up the auto fill correctly, learned the drawer tilts and is not broken ..... it was ice ice ice! This machine runs so efficiently that i was storing extra bags of ice until one of our ous was full. I have used this for parties and just everyday use. I bought it for our motorhome but am using it everyday in or kitchen. It is amazing. The ice is the best texture just like chic-fil-a. Everyone in our family agrees it is much better than the ice from our fridge. Take a leap and buy it if you need an ice machine!

Side tank makes it even better

I always wanted a nugget ice maker and this one is a perfect match. It's size allows plenty of ice, refills quickly and still fits on the counter. I tried it without the side tank initially, but found that we were refilling the internal tank daily (that's how good the ice is!). With the side tank, we only have to refill it weekly.

This one works!

This icemaker works exactly as it should. It starts producing pellets within a few minutes. It will fill the bin with wonderful soft pellets in a little over an hour. The added side tank, makes it a breeze to fill. We fill the tank every other day. With the tank, you never have to check the water level inside the icemaker. We run ours on a smart outlet. We turn it on at 7:00AM and off at 7:00PM. Overnight the ice mostly melts and it all goes into the internal reservoir It is fast and reasonably quiet. All you hear is a faint hum and the ice pellets dropping. We've tried several, and this one is the clear winner.

Not worth it

Really disappointed. The first one I bought wouldn’t stop screeching. So I went back and exchanged it figures it was defective. After about 5 uses this one is doing the same. I’ve cleaned it after each use and haven’t done anything that could have caused this. For the price tag I expected much better

Doesn’t work as claimed. Have to clean twice weekl

Doesn’t work like claims, it flashes once every other day like it needs to be cleaned. It’s only a couple weeks old, and it started flashing after a couple days. I only use bottled water in it, it’s not like I use dirty water.

DO NOT BUY

I was very excited when I saw a nugget ice machine at my local Sam’s Club. However just 2 short weeks after purchasing, the machine started making a loud screeching noise and stopped making ice. Fortunately Sam’s Club has a great return policy. But I would not recommend this machine to anyone. Very poor quality.
