I just had this delivered today. I have not used it per-say but it is cold and ready for me to use. I will come back and add later. This is a very smart addition to my kitchen appliances. I had a different brand that only lasted 7 years. Let's hope this one lasts a whole lot longer as they are not inexpensive anymore. I am sure I will love this one. It is so quiet. I didn't think I would like the water jug but think I will actually really like this feature ! The filter will be so easy to change. The ice is n the freezer and that makes it a much better place to have ice.
