Love it! I actually had a commercial sized unit that had a hard waterline and plumbed drain. When that broken down I couldn’t afford to repair ($3000) to fix.

On comes Opal Ice, far less to buy and while you have to fill the 1gallon tank it recirculates the melted ice to make more. We love it! It has a Bluetooth connection that allows you to run a program (sleep at night or longer hours on the weekend. Super easy to set up we received this in early May and and it is quiet and makes enough ice for a family of six. We have yet to run out of ice.

The ice is soft and chewy, and the machine is much quieter than the commercial machine and 1/3 the size. I have not experienced any of the “complaints” that other mention in their reviews. The unit looks great and only suggestion would be to have a dispenser hopper or the ability to hook into a waterline. also maybe the ability to increase ice production for parties or a higher output unit maybe 3lbs/hr or 5lbs/hr. With a larger 10lb hopper.

Currently I have to fill the tank once every 2-4 days.

The unit is portable enough if you needed to move it or use on a boat or vacation rental.

I've never owned a tabletop ice maker, so I was sort of winging it and hoping for the best. This thing is awesome though - just what I was hoping it was. We use ice for virtually everything - sodas, ice tea, ice coffee, water, juices, you name it. And we have a built-in ice maker in the refrigerator. However, I'm just not a fan of "line" water. There's just no viable way to keep a tap line running into the fridge clean, so I wanted something portable that I can use spring water with. This allows just that, and it works wonderfully. It starts piling up ice VERY fast and is full in virtually no time. I couldn't be more pleased with the form and function of this.

This ice maker takes about 10 minutes to produce 9 cubes, but they add up quickly. You can leave them in the ice maker, or move them to the freezer as you make them to keep them cold. However, if you leave them in the ice maker, the water is recycled to make more cubes. It is very quiet, except when dumping the cubes, which lets you know when they are done.

 The ice is nice and clear.It’s handy having ice when you want, and not having to worry weather or not it’s fresh. I don’t think I’d like the cloudy soft bullets the other machines make. Also looks real good and not overly big. Makes two different sizes.
