Pros & Cons
Pros
It makes ice fast and doesn't melt too fast. Surprisingly, the ice bin keeps the ice cold enough that it melts very slowly. A full bin takes about 12 hours to fully melt!
Cleaning is very easy but time consuming at 20-30 minutes of automatic cleaning. It’s automatic and runs along without supervision.
This is so awesome and makes a ton of ice. I was pleasently suprised. This machine is wonderful and does not disappoint.
Once you get into the habit of keeping things clean and filtered, the noise issue disappears. The noise is actually a helpful indicator that it's time to clean the machine or switch to filtered water.
Cons
I'm hugely disappointed because it does make good ice when it works. Is it worth the hassle to keep it going? It is not. Now it sits in a dark corner, collecting dust.
It leaves water in the bottom of the reservoir. Makes more of a mush than ice pellets. It has a screeching squealing sound that doesn't go away. It leaks, squeals, rusts.
After a month of waiting for a replacement for the 3rd party company, the refurbished replacement is worse than the first one. Ge needs to provide a refund or credit for the poor quality of the machine. No one repairs them.
It now runs in constant defrost mode and all my ice melts almost as soon as it's made. Ge needs to include a place to return this machine free of charge so that we do not put the machine including the freon (refrigerant) in land fills.
Highlights
Quality
The ice quality is really nice- soft, pellet style.
I would recommend this make & model as we’ve seen it in action for over a year with no major problems.
Started making a loud squealing noise then a few days later it sounded like it was going to throw a rod.
Its cube storage is small and it isn’t reliable.
Price
This is all highly annoying and ridiculous for a $500 device made in 2023.
There should be no reason this expensive machine is already having issues.
I wish now i had enough $$$ to spend on the extra capacity unit.
Last summer it went on strike for a week so i set up one of those $100 ice-bullet makers.
Shipping
It was a pain to get it shipped since they don’t send to all parts of ak- but we did receive it, set it up & have been enjoying ice since!
Competitiveness
I bought this for my mom since she was looking for an efficient ice maker that produces the same consistency as sonic ice.
Our ice maker in our fridge went out and we were hoping to find an alternative and i really wanted the pellet ice (like at chic... Read More
