5.0 out of 5 starsBuilt-in freezer! No drain line needed, very quiet!

Update: Almost 2 year later and I still love this ice maker! The only maintenance that I perform is that if there are long durations between use, I’ll have to dump the ice and defrost the ice maker, but this is typical with any freezer. I’ll do this if I haven’t been using the ice for a while and I want a bucket of fresh ice the next day. It’ll start making ice right away but it’ll take a days to fill the bucket.

Love this ice maker. This was the only undercounter unit I found that had a built in freezer so that the ice doesn’t melt after it’s made. Door is reversible, which I did, it only took a few minutes to change it around. The unit itself is very quiet.
I installed an inline water filter so that the unit makes ice with filtered water, everywhere I read said that this will extend the life of unit as there won’t be any build up in the internal waterlines. The ice comes out super clear, glad I did this.
At first I was a little annoyed that there wasn’t a built in water filter, but then I realized I preferred that it didn’t have a built in filter because I was able to install my own heavy-duty filter and not rely on a filter only provided by this manufacturer.
It’s an expensive ice maker for sure, but it’s a really well made one. It took about a day to make ice to fill it’s bin, but it so convenient not to worry about drinking ice for my parties now.
