Title: Ice, ice, baby!
Review: Update 04/02/2024 - Machine still running perfectly making plenty of ice! Still love this machine!Update 06/28/2023 - Machine still making plenty of ice and going strong! Still love this ice maker :-)This ice maker is amazing! It makes incredible ice and looks great doing it. First off, it came very well packaged. After unboxing I set it up on the counter, filled it with water, which is just a little over 2 liters. I use a one liter wine carafe and that works perfect for getting the water in the reservoir with no hassle or spill. Ran a cleaning cycle and then drained it. When I drain, I just pull out an empty kitchen drawer under the machine and put a large stainless mixing bowl in the drawer which puts it at the perfect height for the tubes to drain into. I thought that maybe I should use a little bleach or something to disinfect it but there is nothing in the manual so I contacted Newair customer service using the chat function on their website. I was immediately helped and told to use a 13 to 1 water/distilled white vinegar mix. So I mixed 13 cups of water to 1 cup vinegar, poured it in, and it was almost perfectly to the Max fill line. So, ran the cleaning cycle again, drained, refilled with fresh water and cleaned again. Time to make ice! Filled machine to "Max Fill" with fresh water out of my Berkey filter system. In about 6 minutes I had my first little cubes and the bin was full in about 2.5 - 3 hours. A max fill in the machine's reservoir is just about perfect to fill the ice bucket. And what fantastic ice it is! Beautiful little cubes, soft and nice, transparent of any flavor, very clean. So I put the first batch in a 1 gallon Ziploc freezer bag and put it in my freezer and made another batch. When I pulled the ice out of the freezer it had stuck together a little bit but a couple whacks on the counter had everything just right. I love this machine, absolutely love it! Its life changing and this is way better than funky, freezer burned, refrigerator ice. This is "The Good Ice". Noise level is a little louder than my Samsung refrigerator, which is whisper quiet, so very acceptable on that score. The loudest thing you hear is the ice falling into the bucket really. It turns off when it runs out of water or the ice bucket gets full. I love the purple LED lighting, looks awesome at night. If you are thinking about getting a "Sonic" ice maker I wholeheartedly recommend this one.

Title: !!!DO NOT BUY, IT WILL BREAK IN 6 MONTHS OR LESS!!! Giving 1 star because 0 is not an option
Review: I do not usually give reviews, but at $400 I had to give this review to warn others to save your money and stay as far away as possible from the NEWAIR icemaker. Bought the ice maker in July 2022, worked great and I was excited about this icemaker...for about the first 5 months. Then it started making loud crunching noises and leaving some black residue inside the water compartment and would not make ice anymore. Contacted Newair and they sent me a replacement at no charge. I was again a happy camper. Fast-forward about 6 months, then the replacement machine starts having the same issues. I again contacted Newair. Again they required I cut the cord and take pictures of machine and they would send me replacement. But this time, I had to pay shipping (I think was about $50). As agreed, they sent the new machine (with me paying shipping). The machine worked fine until... NOW 4 months later, the 2nd replacement machine is BROKE. This time, it is pouring water from inside where I cannot get to it to see what is going on there. All the water I added to make ice ended up on my counter! This is in addition to the same old issues of started making loud noises and leaving black streaks of some kind of residue in the machine. (NOTE: I run the clean cycle with white vinegar/water mix on weekly basis, only use filtered water, and handle with "kid gloves", and use only as directed). I Contacted NEWAIR and customer service rep told me I do not have extended warranty and nothing they can do for me...But offered me a 40% off discount code to be used toward purchase of anything else on their website. I said "Really, do you think I want anything else made by NEWAIR?" I just want my $400 back for this piece of crap I purchased from them.==========SUMMARY==========The icemaker is great and makes great ice when it works. Now with 3 icemakers all having the same problem (except the 3rd one is also leaking), it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this ice maker is clearly a defective design and is just crap.So unless you like throwing away money, DO NOT BUY THIS NEWAIR ICEMAKER!!!!! It is not a matter of IF it will break, but WHEN.

Title: Love this ICE!
Review: My wife and I have 5 kids, mainly because I love hospital ice. We're too old to have more now and I'm tired of going to Sonic to buy ice. This ice maker was a fantastic purchase and produces ice really quick. Our friends look on in jealousy because of the ice we have on-demand at our house. We have a neighbor that likes to come over with one of those really expensive souvenir big cups you get at college and pro sports events to fill it with ice for her Dr. Pepper. I'm convinced we have the best ice on the block if not the entire neighborhood. I should consider selling bags of this ice on the street corner. I wonder if I need a permit for that? Checks county laws....NOPE! Ok you've heard the good. Now for the bad. It started making some loud noises after about 6 months. I thought it was maybe the little ice elves that live inside the machine getting cranky because we make them work so hard producing ice non stop. They probably regret leaving Santa and the North Pole. Anyway, I reached out to Charles at Newair via their on-line chat function to see if we needed to get replacement ice elves for our ice maker. They said nope, but they will replace it under warranty. Oh yeah! I bet we get the fresh, upgraded ice elves that don't get cranky this time. I'm thinking of cutting my neighbor off after we get the new unit. I know she'll probably go through some hard core withdrawals. Not my problem, she can go to Sonic. Or make an investment in herself and feed her habit with one of these shiny new ice machines in her own home. I'm done being an enabler! If you've read this far. In all seriousness, go out and buy one of these. You will NOT regret your decision.

Review: La compré. Para mi local y por apertura se retrasó cuando la prendà duro 2 horas y no hace más que para un vaso. Sale más caro gastar en luz que comprar el hielo o una nevera y guárdalo

Review: Makes nice small size ice cubes. But sadly produces ice super slow. . I donât recommend this if anyone is looking for the 44 lbs a day result.

They mention it makes a horrible louder than normal banging noise, the plastic pieces break off easily, and it's not worth the $300. Some also dislike leakage. Opinions differ on the ice quality, functionality, and ease of cleaning.
