Bought this machine, Worked fine for 2 1/2 years then started to make about 50% of what it used to. Now it is totally broken, Had someone look at it said it would be more expensive to fix it than it would be to buy a new one. This is a throwaway ice machine, very disappointed.

After just one year of use, the control panel failed after the warranty expired. Ice production barely reaches 250 lb (only 50% of the rated capacity). This is an unreliable product!

Bought this thing to top my soda fountain in my restaurant lobby. Just hooked it up and have nothing but regrets. The fan is unbearably loud. Like defending loud. There is a absolutely no way this would ever work in a restaurant. Even if I were to buy a bin and move it to back of house it would be too loud. $ wasted and I am sick to my stomach.

Although product work what it supposed to quality of build was not what I expected. You get what you pay for is old saying that describes this purchase. Outer shell is thin flexible steel compared to my older ice maker which had thick steel that had weight to it. Noise level is somewhat you have to get used to like jet taking off sound. Hopefully I get least half of what my other unit lasted 18 years and still works. Also during shipping something must have went through box that bent top of unit but I didn’t report since it would become blame game between shipping companies. Overall I made decision to save money to buy and I don’t regret it.
