This icemaker was purchased due to my addiction of loaded teas. I can tell you that I could never go back to life without it. We use this everyday for nearly a year and I am super picky on my ice. Makes the ice quickly and I never run out. My husband thought I was insane when I purchased this however when we went on a trip for a week at a airbnb he was angry that we didn't take it. Just push that buy button you won't regret it
