I really didn't need to buy another one but my neighbor who is my daughter and my grandkids would come so much to buy ice. I recently moved, they were more sad about the ice machine than me moving, lol. So I gave her the old one and purchased a new one.

This ice make makes great ice when it wants to. I has to be monitored constantly. If it isn't the bin building a nice mountain in it and triggering that it is full it's the add water notice when the side container is still full. Overall if you are looking for good nugget ice this machine will do the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice countertop ice maker for the parties or the family who loves to make a drink or chewing ice. It makes a nice texture of ice and also tastes good which I and my family love to chew it. it is smaller in comparison or traditional ice size. it has a nice design that looks good in the kitchen with stunning stainless steel with gray color. It has led which is looks good in the night time. I noticed that it make a louder noise when making the ice which feels annoying when it is making ice in the night time. I also had some issues with syncing the application. it disconnects frequently. This is defiantly helpful in summer to make lots of drinks. I do not use my refrigerator ice maker after using this. The application also has lots of features like scheduling and all which makes it easier to maintain it.

If you have ever thought about getting this…. Just do it! I put it off for 6 months and finally bought one. I can't say enough good stuff about this. The ice is wonderful and holds in my yeti cup for hours. If you do purchase this I highly recommend the side tank. It makes life so much easier. The WiFi feature is so wonderful. I set it for dinner and we have a bin full of ice ready to go. Don't hesitate if you have ever thought about getting one of these. I wish I would have bought it sooner than I did! Cleaning is so easy and the filters do last.

I was hesitant about this at first, but after purchasing this unit I am more than pleased with it. Set up is extremely easy, but please make sure you go through the initial cleaning process it's a good thing to make sure it's ready to roll. I also suggest purchasing (not included unfortunately) the water filter. Ice is made quickly and like everyone points out is the "soft" small nugget Ice. I think this is an absolute winner. You can control the unit via the app or also with your voice with Alexa and or Google. Worth the investment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is no lightweight. It carried like an air conditioner when I got it. It is smaller than an air conditioner but still takes up a substantial amount of counter space. Once I read the instructions, cleaned it, and filled it I have have nothing but good things to say about this machine. It make small ice pieces, a little bigger than your normal chopped ice, and it make ice quickly. The side reservoir is definitely needed because it will go through the water as you use the ice, but I feel it is better than getting an ice machine in the fridge just because of volume and convenience.

This is the second one I purchased, the first after 3 months made a high squealing noise and it's loud and many people with same issue can be found. It says it's defrosting but it just quit so I bought a second and 3 days later it's squealing as well. Love the ice it makes but hate the machine and being woke up at night.

We love our Opal Nugget Ice maker. If you like Sonic ice this is a good ice maker to have. We've had table top ice makers before and decided to splurge a little bit on this one. It's a beautiful unit. We love the light and it's quiet. We never run out of ice. I highly recommend this ice maker.

Probably due to condensation, every time you get ice and open the door, water spills out. I'm going to look into their new ice dispensing opal to see if this would be better. The cost of these machines are more than a cheap full size refrigerator, I expect them not to have annoying issues

This makes the 'Sonic' type ice my wife loves and plenty of it. Plugged it into a watt meter and after 210 hours of use it consumes approximately 0.71 KwH per day. In my area of the world that comes out to $3.50 per month to run it 24/7. I'm going to set a schedule so it doesn't run at night and see how that goes. Very interesting design that as the ice melts it melts back into the reservoir to be turned back into ice.Sound wise you can tell when it's running but if you're not listening for it you probably won't notice it.
