This appliance is awesome! We replaced our rarely-used mixer with this countertop nugget ice machine that we literally use all day, every day. Everyone in our family likes to chew ice and this is a game changer. The texture and quality of the ice is perfect. It makes ice faster than I expected it to. The side tank capacity is large which means you have to refill it less often. I also like how this version is WiFi-enabled which allowed me to tie it in to my Google Home routines so the light goes off at night and comes back on in the morning. There are some other basic functions in the app that are useful. All in all, we love this thing and will be recommending to anyone who will listen!

Works good. Goes through water fairly quickly. As much ice that we use, we have to fill up the side tank every couple of days. When scooping ice out of bin, there are water driplets that drop on the bottom tray which has to be wiped down. Overall, good ice maker!

Here are the major differences: The casing corners are now rounded, The circle LED indicator has been replaced by "touch-sensitive" buttons on the front, as well as distinct word labels stating what the appliance is doing. This includes replacing the rear slider switch for cleaning with touch-button functionality in the front - The plastic ice bin no longer has holes along the rear-bottom; a spring-loaded hole has been added that opens only when the bin is slid all the way into the appliance, thereby preventing drips when fully removing the bin - Overall, the appliance does appear quieter, though that's more subjective - Biggy: when draining the water while cleaning, it completely drips.

Love the dimensions, it fits under my shelves on the countertop and is still pretty slender. I'm within 24 hrs of use and it doesn't seem noisy to me. The capacity and production is perfect as our household goes through lots of ice. I was used to the simple bullet ice maker so this was a bit more with installation but definitely worth it! I love the machine.

Great icemaker, the nugget ice is lovely, and the production rate is really good, too. Though I do wish they'd add a UV light inside the storage tank and ice bin too, more germicidal stuff never goes amiss, and it would cut down on how often I'd have to clean it.

We had a competitor brand for 2.5 years but it ended up dying. We chose to go this model and have enjoed every single nugget. I enjoy seeing the features come on “making ice”, “cleaning” and I love that you can adjust the lighting and have the option of no light at all. Super easy to fill and clean. I have already bought one for my daughter who is pregnant and loves ice! Will keep recommending this ice maker to anyone interested!

Looks great, Does the job it is intended to do. It goes into defrost mode often and it needs a place for a constant water line so you dont have to refill all the time. Overall a good machine, just a little pricy. If it lasts a few years it will be worth it.

I told my wife I wanted to purchase this ice maker and she thought I was crazy. Said we already had a new GE refrigerator that made ice. I tried to explain how this ice would be so much better. Softer in the mouth and easier to chew. She just stared at me. So, naturally I ordered it. Now instead of staring at me she stares at the ice maker with a huge smile on her face. We just giggle at how much we love the ice this machine makes. 5 stars!!

While the ice is great, there is a significant amount of maintenance to keep your ice clean and enjoyable. The ice “bucket” drips condensation on your counter or tray every time you pull it out. Be aware of the size of this thing as in a small kitchen, it would take up a large amount of counter space. The side reservoir, can help you go almost a month on one refill. The app allows you to schedule times to make ice. And ice is coming out about 10 minutes after you start it. And the ice bin can be full in about 3 hours. That is 3 lbs of awesome ice. Setup can be awkward if you go by the instructions, so go find a YouTube video and it is easy. Enjoy your beverages with your favorite ice. You will be glad you got this.

My daughter purchased a previous model and took it with her when she moved out. I immediately purchased a replacement as I can't dream of living without this ice machine. Love the pellet ice texture, and ease of having almost unlimited ice on hand. I have recommended this product several times … a bit pricey but a staple in our household.
