I absolutely LOVE this ice machine! I opted to do without the ice and water in the door of my new refrigerator and simply have this ice machine as a countertop option.  Best little machine ever!  I recommend purchasing the side tank with it as I discovered I used enough ice to warrant needing the convenience of the additional water tank. The machine is quiet and makes the best, chewable ice ever. The app also allows you to schedule when you want the machine to shut off or make ice each day of the week. Highly recommend!
