PERFECTION & NOT LOUD!
I’ve had several different brand ice-makers in the past, and this one is by far my FAVORITE. Most importantly, it is not loud whatsoever. The only time we hear it is when the ice is dumping into the ice tray. The ice stays frozen for a long time, and only melts when it’s been sitting in the tray for 3-5 plus hours. This is the first brand I’ve owned that doesn’t get mold in the back where the cubes are made after a few weeks. I’ve had this ice maker since early December and it’s mid February, and like I said that’s yet to occur (THANK GOD) I never knew BestBuy had their own line of house hold appliance products until I came across this ice maker, and I’ll never use any other brand from now on. I actually went the following day and bought the microwave made by BestBuy after experiencing the quality of this ice maker. I have attached pictures for size reference. If you’re thinking about getting it, just do it! You will not regret it!

Wonderfully soft crunching ice
Very soft ice!!! Wonderful if you like chewing ice, just don’t tell my dentist! Ha! This is the second one I purchased and it is going to my dad for Christmas. He liked the ice more than any other “soft” ice he has ever tried (and he chews a lot of ice). It also makes ice super fast. I purchased both of them on sale and added in the 4 year protection plan. It’s a breeze to make ice in it. I also use my filtered refrigerator water in it.

Fun little Ice-Maker requires 1 workaround
PROS: Great price, does not take up much counter space, effective and fast at making ice. I can imagine this is great for an outdoor BBQ or POKER PARTY. CONS: 1st thing I noticed was there is NO chilled compartment for the ice once it has fallen into the catch basket. This meant all of the cubes were coming out small. However I discovered an easy WORKAROUND which KEEPS ICE BIG and that is to remove the catch basket and allow the first two cycles of ice to fall into the water. This will keep the water in the repository chilled and the machine will now continue to produce large-sized ice. ---- Also, I've found filling up and storing 1-gallon, freezer Zip Locks full of the large ice is a great way to always have a bag available for sports injuries, daily drinking, and cooking needs!

For RVing it’s worth every penny
This ice maker has mostly been great and I 100% recommend it (but also get the $20ish extended service warranty thing because we’ve used it once and getting a brand new replacement was too easy)! We mostly use it RVing and while I always thought it was a needless purchase it’s been a game changer! My dislikes are that it’s a royal pain to clean the insides (rarely needed), it is a bit noisy, the basket design causes the ice to dam up and stop making before it’s actually full, and there’s no discernible difference between the Large and Small ice cube sizes (somewhat common among ice makers). Also it would’ve been nice for them to add a hanger on the left side for the ice scoop (we added a command strip hook). We only use filtered water in it (ZeroWater or WaterDrop pitcher) which will definitely extend its life! Obviously keep it away from sources of heat and give it a decent clearance around the vents on the back and right hand side. If this one breaks outside of the warranty period I imagine we’ll buy another identical one!

Very quiet
This was very fast at baking my ice and it ran very quiet while it was doing it. I would recommend it to everyone that needs ice and likes to have some icebreaker in the same room with them. It works just great thank you. ?

Great for apartments!
This ice machine is a little beast. I don’t have a dishwasher or ice maker in my apartment, so this purchase was a must. It makes ice relatively fast, and it’s solid enough to not immediately disintegrate in my drink. My only complaint is that I have to drain any old water before each use, or else it will taste like the plastic in the machine. Overall, great purchase and it doesn’t take up too much space on the counter.

Excellent investment and excellent ice maker
I LOVE this product. It makes a TON of ice for a pretty small piece of equipment. It fills the bucket up very quickly so I am able to then put it into a bigger bucket in my freezer. I’m definitely saving money with it because I got it on sale for $90.00 I know that I would spend ALOT more than that on buying ice in a year. I’ll probably surpass that this summer so will have already made my money back. The only complaint I have and this is nitpicking is that the ice tends to clump together into a big solid piece again no big issue, but it is annoying. My favorite thing is the ice itself. It is log shaped w/a hole throughout the middle like Sonics or the hospitals ice. It’s the best!! It’s the perfect shape to suck on. I would highly recommend this product.

Excellent value and very efficient.
This was an excellent buy at the price. The ice is in two sizes. Neither too small or too large. A bit noisy but not out of bounds noisy. You have to empty it fairly quickly or melt sets in. It does make a batch fairly quickly and is efficient. It does not take up too much room. Easy set up and cleaning.
