Reviewer Terry in SA said her family is in love with this ice maker, and it’s brought them joy since their favorite fast-food nugget ice resource (Sonic) closed near them. She suggested anyone living in a city with hard water should purchase a filter, and she descales weekly with vinegar or the GE descaler.
