I'd held off on getting one of these in favor of buying ice because I'd heard horror stories of leakage and noise. I finally became fed up with spending money for frozen water and decided to give this a shot after some study of what was available at a reasonable price. Things I've learned: Most people complaining of leaks have left the drain plug unsecured or have over filled. I put filtered water in until it brushes the collection basket. No water leakage, no problems. The noise is so minimal that I have forgotten that it was working. Just lift the basket out, let it drain if needed, then add ice to the bag provided. We find that laying it flat in the freezer makes it easier to break up after we let it get a bit more solid. Then we add it to our bin and call it good. Just realize going in that the ice is NOT being kept frozen in the maker. It also comes out a bit wet as a result so keep up with it, get it in a freezer fast and let it finish freezing. Once you do-perfect, chewable (if that's your thing) ice.

This is the best!! I am a sonic ice snob and this ice maker is wonderful. It makes ice fairly fast and is softer than sonic ice. It does melt a little quick but I usually am to the bottom of the glass before I realize it has melted some. WELL WORTH THE MONEY !!!!!!

I love the chewable pebble ice! HOWEVER, I bought this ice machine, in particular over the others I researched because it stated “COUNTRY OF ORIGIN : USA”. I received the item and the first thing I see on the box: “MADE IN CHINA”!!!! I was so livid, I said a lot of choice words!!! I’ve contacted the seller to, at least, get them to correct their description errors so that future shoppers will have the correct information to base their purchases on. I like the Red color and it operates quickly and quietly. I’ve only used it once so far, but it makes good ice.

Initially the ice is nugget and hard, then it softens to heaven. I usually spend 2.17 every three days. It's so awesome to come home to fresh ice, that I know is sanitary plus I use Fiji or spring water. Idc if distilled is advised. I'll buy a new one every year if I have to. 189.99 during black Friday, it really is a 99.99 size but inflation I'm sure doubled it. So far so good. Will have until January 31 to return due to holidays. Hope it acts right. Wondering how to refill the refrigerant before it's time. Also, comes with an ice bag... you'll need to buy more.

I was initially happy with the machine but since it's self destructive groans and screams it is now dead. DO NOT buy this machine without an extended product warrantee. I had this item approximately 10 months and it is now JUNK. It works great until it doesn't. The machine made great ice and I followed the manufacturers maintenance protocols religiously. The manufacturer does not answer phone calls. They do not stand behind their product. I was reimbursed the cost of the ice maker but that did not include the cost of the sales tax. So even with the refund I am still out the product and due to price increases stuck with buying another. I will not purchase another Antarctic branded item. If you choose to, Make sure you purchase the extended warrantee. Watch the video to see the result after 10 months of use.

I bought this a year ago and it is still working. It is quite heavy and the handle is detachable so I would recommend holding at the bottom just incase. It takes fifteen minutes to start making the ice and one hour to fill up the tray. I use filtered water so that it does not get all mildewed inside. It does not leak and there is a plug on the bottom to drain the water. The color is exactly like the pictures and looks really good in my kitchen. The ice tray is quite watery so it turns into one huge block of ice if you put in the freezer. The capacity is not that large so I wouldn't use for large gatherings because you will have to constantly fill it up. Otherwise it's definitely a good value for the money.

Had it for a few months and made some bad noises and stopped making ice and customer serviced fixed the issue. Great customer service!

Great ice when it worked. With in 3 months it stopped working. Loud machine
