I've had this for about a week. I was looking for one with a water hookup and this was the only one I could find with pretty good ratings. Thus far I'm very pleased. It's just like a commercial ice maker - continues to melt and recycle if you don't empty the basket. However, it makes ice quickly, but if you then put it in your ice bin just realize you may need to break it up to use since technically it's already melting when you remove it.
Follow up. Right after I wrote this review, the front button sticker started coming off - had the unit about a week. Glue apparently is not strong enough. I saw that in another review, but thought I'd take a chance knowing I could re-glue if necessary. I put some contact cement on button sticker and face of machine and made sure the sponge buttons went back in appropriate hole. Works fine after doing that, so I reduced overall stars to 4. Manufacturer needs to make sure whoever makes the stickers for them uses stronger glue.
Love having this product. It arrived on time and was well packaged. As we started to install it we found that the waterline connector on the back of the unit had a spacer in it that had to be removed. It was jammed in there so hard that we ended up having to cut the line and go to the hardware store to by the part to fix it. Other than that installation and start up were uneventful and easy. Unit works great! If I could change anything about it, I would make the holding bin allitle bigger and better insulated. But, it drops ice so fast, about ever 8 mins that the size of the bind is not an issue.
This ice machine is small enough to fit wherever you need it and large enough to produce all the ice needed on a daily basis. Being equipped with a water supply connection makes it super convenient.
I really recommend this product, I tried with a different one, similar they would say, but does not compare with this one. Is fast ice producing machine, dependable and the best product if you have a party or a meeting with ice needs. It's a really good product and I recommend it.
Well, I really liked my ice maker until it stopped working. However, after getting help and replacement parts advice from Lexi F. in customer service at Wynter, I ordered the parts and am now up and running making ice again. Thank you for the help. I'm very happy again!!!
