i have a basement bar without an ice maker  for years ive used freezer molds or ice from the upstairs refrigerator  i finally decided to go with a countertop ice maker and settled on this one  so far a few months into use im pretty happy with itpros it has worked flawlessly and is very easy to use  the self clean method seems to work well but ive only used it once  i run this every friday and saturday evening when i need ice for liquor drinks and then leave it sitting the rest of the week  i havent had any issues with function or cleanliness  i do use jug drinking water from a local grocery store so that probably helps keep it from getting grime build up  the bullet ice on the large setting is perfect for what i wantedcons some other reviews mentioned how loud it is  while somewhat true i found that in reviews for many other ice makers  the loudest part is the fan running but its a constant hum  i have yet for it to bother me at all but i do have the ice maker on the other side of my basement bartv room  if it was close to me or i was in a room that needed relative quite i could see the ice maker sound being an issue  the only other con is that because i only use this on weekends the first several batches of ice on fridays are too small to use  i just dump them back in the water reservoir which is as simple as lifting the basket and turning it over  once the ice gets going its perfect  if you want small cubes then this is probably a nonissue  however when i use the ice maker on saturdays the second day in a row the ice is good to go after just one or two batches  this is noted in the manual that if you go several days without use the first sets of ice wont be fully formed  once i learned how this works ive had zero issues timing it out for useoverall id say im happy with this ice maker and would recommend it to others  there are so many options that im sure there are others just as good or better but its almost impossible to tell until you get it into the location you plan to use  side note the included scooper and suction cup hook is a nice touch  i use it every time i use the ice maker
