You will love the ice. You will hate the machine. The ice is everything you would have expected. The machine requires weekly maintenance that may require to relocate this heavy device to a nearby sink. The maintenance itself should take no more than 20 to 25 minutes. This is my third ice maker in one year. The first two had issues. The GE warranty states that you will receive a remanufactured ice maker (essentially refurbished) under most conditions if it fails after 30 days (non GE store) or 60 days (GE store), you will receive a remanufactured unit. The replacement unit holds a 90 day warranty or remaining warranty on standard warranty , which ever is greater.
