searched for quite a while knowing that I was going to have to get an ice machine after bariatric surgery in order to help my water intake up since I have bad kidneys and have to at least 80 to 100 oz of water everyday to keep my kidneys functioning chewing on the ice is much more tolerated than taking continuous drinks of water after bariatric surgery this machine works perfect for that my wife is happy with it also we are both happy that we chose the GE model because it got such great reviews I wouldn't hesitate buying this Appliance again when I first turn mine on it took about 5 to 10 minutes to start spitting ice out and it works flawlessly I never have to worry about it and that peace of mind is greatly appreciated

great product and makes ice quickly. However, cleanings seem to come around quickly and involve a detailed process. Maybe it's ice makers in general???

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, my family cannot live without ice. However, this machine is extremely loud, bulky, and seems to require extra cleanings if you have hard water in your home (more than the recommended amount). When you don't do the cleaning it really affects the performance of the ice machine. That said, it makes great ice and the family loves it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made. Clear installation instructions. A little clunky - doesn’t fit under countertop. Ice nuggets are as advertised. A freezer component would help keep ice harder. Cleaning/descaling is a chore and not easy. Need a better cleaning procedure.

I love the ice it makes — but having to go through the cleaning process every month is crazy !! And it didn’t last 2 years !!! Over and over again cleaning—- with the monthly cleaning , I found mold in my ice !!!!!🤮 crazy !!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It needs to refilled several times a day and flashes cleaning every 2 weeks which is time consuming. We have had it make loud noises twice now and have unplugged it and started over. It's just a big pain it the butt.

I would not recommend this product at all. In total from January 1 to May of this year, we bought a total of three of these ice machines and all three have the same issue of the gear sounding like they were squeaking or squealing, or the gears were grinding. A high-pitched scream was coming from the ice machine and we had to continuously exchange them after this last time. We just decided to get a refund back from Sam's Club and call it a loss would not recommend.

The machine stopped working after six months of being purchased. The cleaning light and add water keeps blinking even though I have ran it through the cleaning cycles several times. I would not purchase this brand again. Customer service is not helpful.

Just a couple weeks into it and it's already making the same noise as the others that I've already replaced. I think I'm gonna end up going with a different brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on my 3rd ice maker for the typical howling noise. Now this one quits and says add water even though it is full. After research this is the other common concern. Getting ready to pack it up for return again.
