    I bought this item in November but didn’t get around to installing it till February. It was working amazing for a few months then out of nowhere it started leaking. It leaks all the water added as soon as it is added. I am extremely disappointed I haven’t even finished paying it. It was amazing while it worked and now I have an expensive useless machine! In the image that’s where it is leaking from and the motor is right before doesn’t seem very safe! Safety concerns overload. It is disconnected now. But frustrated and annoyed and angry over this.

    After owning for a year and a half I would not purchase or recommend this item again. Cleaning is very taxing although I made sure to clean frequently. I stopped using for one year (after craving a dwindled post iron infusions) and tried to clean and operate machine today. Machine will NOT enter a successful cleaning cycle. The building in the water line tubes is disgusting and even regular cleaning will leave buildup and there’s no way to fully remove tube to clean sufficiently. I strongly suggest looking for a simpler nugget ice make that allows for easy cleaning. While it worked, it was a nice machine for the most part. Even with regular cleaning the buildup is insane. Pictures included.

    This ice maker was great for the first year. Then it started making a terrible screeching sound and leaking water. We opened it up to clean it and it is covered in rust, corrosion and some sort of gray powdery substance in the white reservoir that feeds into the auger. This is a terrible design and we are sick to think the quality of ice our family has been exposed to. It is a miracle this didn’t catch on fire.
