I wasn’t expecting much from this lil guy, but it has pleasantly surprised me. Quick set up and easy to use. Makes ice fast—and I’m munching on it all day, but have yet to run out. The ice is closer to crushed than nugget, which is how I like it. 

It needs to be refilled often, but it makes several bins of ice on one fill. I just use a whole bin each time. Absolutely worth it if you love ice! 

I had one of the $500 ones and it died, then customer service eventually gave up, but honestly, this one makes ice just as well, if not better. It’s smaller, easier to maintain, and a lot cheaper so I don’t see any need to save for a new one now.
