- Great Machine! FAST, FAST and makes ice great for eating.
A couple of years ago there was a fundraiser for a new ice machine that makes chew-able ice...I almost spent $500 then but thankfully had to sense to wait. Two days ago I went in search of that machine and went all the way through the checkout process and decided that was just…
N. BabbVerifiedFeb 12, 2017 - Heavy duty ice maker, well worth the money
This little fellow works it heart out. Ice starts coming out within about five minutes after you turn it on. Very pleased with the performance of this unit.
Kenneth C. DavisVerifiedJun 29, 2026 - Supposed to be great, but I'll never know as it didn't work out of the box
followed the instructions, waited an hour before plugging it in. No ice, not even cold inside. I moved on to the GE Opal which works great
