Addressing issues after just over a year. Warranty expired under a month ago and wish I would have noticed problem before it expired. Noticed front ice tray not closing more and more over time and now it's not making ice because tray will not hit trigger switch in back. Looked at it yesterday and noticed back wall has bowed out. Final investigation today. Water/moisture has saturated the insulation spray foam that helps keep ice cool and has swelled. Now need either new icemaker or replacement housing. Sad because we like the ice maker. Another issue is the led lights stay on all the time and attract small nats/bugs. Easy fix would be to install on/off switch to be able to turn off at night.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just purchased this machine. Other family members have this ma home and love it so I thought I would give it a try. Easy set up. Somewhat quiet and makes the perfect ice fast. Love the size of the cubes. It makes my drink super cold which tastes better. Highly recommend this product.
unreliable unit often stops making ice. I tried cleaning many times and it stopped making ice just after the warranty expired

Love it for the first year but then it stopped working. Cleaned it, re-cleaned it, but nothing has worked. Disappointing especially since it was expensive and the warranty is only for a year. Great ice tho.
