I bought this at a good price, not the lowest because it went down but definitely a good price. Ice maker makes great sphere ice! It does take a long time, a lot longer than other ice makers (this is our 3rd) but the sphere ice is cool/different and seems to last longer than the nugget or clear ice from the other machines. Love it for my bourbon, mixed drinks or really anything you want to drink cold. Again either save and freeze extra ice or don't expect to have ice quickly.

This was a costly purchase, but worth it! The machine is easy to use and the spherical ice is the best. The only upgrade I made was to put it on a low turntable/Lazy Susan (that I constructed!) to enable the ease of turning it around to drain the unused water from the back. Luckily, my turntable was low enough that the machine still fit (barely) under the kitchen cabinet.

I love this sphere ice maker—it’s a total game-changer for drinks on the rocks. The large spheres melt much slower than cubes, so my whiskey stays cold without getting watered down. It’s way faster and more convenient than messing with silicone molds. Two quick tips for the best results: Use Distilled Water: If you want that crystal-clear, "glass-like" look, skip the tap water. It makes a huge difference in clarity. Transfer to the Freezer: Since the storage bin isn't refrigerated, the ice will eventually melt. I move my spheres into a freezer bag once they're done so I always have a fresh stash ready to go!

This ice maker is a lifesaver! It starts dropping cubes within minutes and keeps up with my family's needs easily. It’s much faster and quieter than my refrigerator's built-in maker. The ice cubes are clear and the perfect size for cold drinks. Highly recommend it for anyone who hosts parties or just loves iced coffee!

Great ice maker, works the way it should, wish they were a little bigger in size, but convenient machine to have on hand. Easy to care for instructions for use is clear. Use distilled water as recommended.

I got this from Walmart because I've had a great sale on it. it works great. follow James suctions for initial cleaning and you won't have any issues. use distilled water if you want clear ice

The balls are very small and melt quickly before the ice chamber can fill. Have to immediately remove and put in a freezer and even then the balls are small and melt quickly.

We bought the Frigidaire Gallery ice nugget maker that looks exactly like this. It didn’t even last a year. Contacted the manufacturer (as it’s under a 1 year warranty), sent them pics and video of it not working, and they said WE HAVE TO PAY to ship their defective product back to them before they would even consider a replacement or refund. No thanks. Just won’t purchase a Frigidaire product again if they don’t stand behind their products.

Icemaker quit working after only a couple of months. I was sent a new one (NOT same color as purchased) and that one did the exact same malfunction in only 2 months...better off to spend the extra and get the GE Opal over dealing with junk! such a waste of money.

the water storage is so small you have to fill 2 to 3 times aday. it really doesnt make that many spheres. if it had bigger storage for water it be like the crushed machine. then the 1 liter storage would help
