I would absolutely love to be able give this a great review but we are on our second machine within a matter of 6 months and this one is now starting to die. For some reason, the machine starts making a terrible noise as if it is starting to wear out and then stops making ice. We went through the warranty process, got a replacement and have had the second one for about a month and a half now and it is now starting to make the same noise. We love the ice it produces but it just isn't a durable.
