The ice is almost like the ice you get at Sonic or some other places except it is just a little less airy and soft. I chew on ice all day due to dry mouth from medications and this doesn’t break my teeth. I have only had it for a few weeks but I already having an issue with it. When the ice fills up and stops making more, it will not resume making ice when it melts down or you use some. I have to turn it off then back on to make it work. Other than that, I love it.

I bought this because I wanted the convenience of ice on demand, the durability of GE products, and who doesn’t love nugget ice?! It does what it says without any issues thus far, and we have more space in our freezer! We have a pretty small fridge without an ice maker so it was a pain to make several trays of ice and empty them into the bucket. Inevitably, someone would leave an ice cube or two without filling the ice trays. And ice trays also get dirty and cause all that stuff to go in your ice. Now i don’t have to worry about it anymore! I use distilled water in mine, and I’ve found it doesn’t use too much of the water from the reservoir, just the water from the ice as it melts. Cleaning it is easy, and I’ve heard it should really be kept up on, on a weekly basis. The machine starts making ice as soon as the ice level drops, whether that means it’s melting, or you open the door to pull some out. Basically, you’ll always have ice unless you use the scheduling feature on the app. I definitely recommend this to others!

The ice maker is nice and sturdy. I just installed it and it’s currently making ice. I thought I would produce ice a little faster. It’s been about 30 min and it’s made a small pile of ice. I can’t give it a five stars yet since I just started using it. But so far so good.

This is a wonderful ice machine. It was easy to set up. The WIFI choice is really nice. The only issue is that the on/off button requires a very slight/ light touch to turn off, so I’ve turned it off unintentionally a couple of times. However, it makes the ice so quickly that it was minimal inconvenience.

I was sceptical when my wife got this ice maker. However, having used it for a few weeks now, I LOVE the ice it makes. It even has an app so I can see what it is doing when not near the machine and turn the light on and off. The only gripe I have is that the ice piles up against the back of the bucket and when you pull it out to get ice, some of it falls back into the water reservoir. There really isn't anything to dislike though. It does a great job of making great ice.

If you’re looking for sonic or Frisch’s Ice at home here you go. Ice is great. Huge hit at my house. Cons are smaller issues or things I can see past but prefer without. You literally can hear every ice cube hit the bucket when it fills. The machine is humongous so it’s hard to place in your house. It drops a lot so the drip pan is usually wet. It takes a lot of water (or we eat a lot of ice ha). It was more pricey than other ice machines. For it being small ice the ice doesn’t melt as fast as other machines but it still melts too fast to my liking (dilutes my pop to watery). But I mostly use in water.

I bought this machine about 4months ago and have been obsessed since. I love ice especially the “good ice” this ice machine has been wonderful. I live the ice alone or in my iced coffee. I also love that I am able to do basic controls from my phone so even at work I am able to turn the machine on and off! I recommend this to all my friends and family!

We’ve been through 2 other “nugget ice” makers over the last year and this one beats them both hands down. First off you can just tell that it’s made better. Next the side water tank makes adding water a cinch. It’s also easy to clean. If I had a gripe it would be that GE should include the water filter but adding it afterwards wasn’t that big of a deal. This unit is also way quieter than either of the other 2 units. Plus, the nugget ice is perfect. Soft chewable ice!

This unit was quite in operation, works as promised, the manual needs updating to explain how to clean interior storage tank that feeds water into freezing auger. I have run this unit for 2 years constantly. You tube cleaning videos were very helpful.

Just because the machine isn't perfect, doesn't mean it doesn't make perfect ice. It is 5 stars in my book, and it is the best on the market. Although I may be nitpicking, there are a few improvements that keep it from achieving perfection. CONS: 1. It is a high maintenance machine. The manual suggests that you clean it once per week. Nobody really has time for that. It is more of a tedious process than strenuous one, since the machine has a (somewhat) automatic clean cycle. However, this requires a great deal of clean water to rinse and seems wasteful. 2. The machine is a bit bulky, and for the most part, lacks feet on the bottom. The feet exist, it just would have made cord management easier if they were a bit taller. 3. It can be a bit noisy when making ice, but quiets down once it gets going. It doesn't bother me, all refrigeration products are going to make noise. 4. I personally don't care about this one but...don't buy this if you are concerned about wifi/app capabilities. I have yet to get the machine to pair with my phone using the app and wifi, so I'm not sure it even works. I'm not too sure why it is even necessary, but I don't have any use for it. But it is still a con if it is supposed to work, and yet, it doesn't. PROS: 1. Perfect nugget ice. I was hesitant about buying this (expensive) machine due to the fact I wasn't too sure it could make as good of nugget ice as restaurants/hospitals. It 100% does. The promo videos make it look soft and barely frozen. This machine makes hard and crunchy goodness that keeps frozen in the bin all day long. 2. Makes ice consistently and fast. You will have ice constantly as long as you keep the water tank replenished. 3. The front-viewing bin lets you see how much ice is accumulated and simply makes it look nice on the counter top. It pulls out nicely for easy access. Even though it is pricier than most ice makers this size, this machine is worth it if you want perfect nugget ice from a well crafted machine. It does what it is supposed to and has lived up to the hype thus far. Nugget ice makes everything better; water, cocktails, or even plain old ice munching.
