Everyone needs this for fall and holiday parties!

Would Recommend

I love this ice maker cozy gatherings, holiday parties, and fun family get-togethers! It's been an absolute game-changer for our parties, and our guests (and kids!) can't get enough of it! The stylish design has made this a centerpiece of our gatherings as everyone is impressed with the sleek look and that this is a powerhouse that makes up to 28 pounds of ice per day! It's fun to watch everyone fill their glasses with sparkly ice and make their drinks. For instance, we set up a mocktail bar wit...

I am most pleased with my purchase. I'd buy it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd never before bought a countertop ice maker; was dubious of the claims made by some manufacturers that promised 26 or 28 or even 30 pounds of ice a day. Out of this tiny box? Yeah, okay. Well, first, it's not small. It's no behemoth, but it is about the size of a bread maker, Second, this Newair does for a fact crank out 26 pounds of ice in a day. Now, I've only made medium-size ice, so I can't comment on the large or small claims, nut I am ...

This machine is AWESOME!

We use distilled water in our ice maker, which allows for no buildup of minerals in it. We use it to make three loads of ice a day, which takes about 1.5 hours for each full basket. We LOVE this machine, the ice it produces, and would recommend it to anyone in the market for one. As an aside, I put the ice into a bag BEFORE I put it in our ice dispenser, as it does freeze together a wee bit once removed from the ice maker and put into the freezer. After an hour or so I "bang" it into the sink to...

Liked the brand not sure if I would recomend

Would Recommend

I had the ice maker for barely a year. The inner water dish where the ice is made cracked over time, even the wall where the hinde was had a crack and would get dirty. The motor wasn't too loud during the process. This machince also was suppose to have 3 sizes of cubes but they all looked alike. I am hoping that the Newair machine that is coming today is an improvement.

Not sure if I would buy this again

Would Not Recommend

Many of the plastic pieces, such as the water basket to make the ice, over months started having cracked hindges. Mold would set in and I was cleaning it every four oe five days. This machine, althoug it stated it made 3 sizes, it always appeared to be the name size ice nugget.
