We absolutely love this ice machine!!! My two children are obsessed with the ice and we use some fruit flavor to make them slushies. It’s also a hit with all the guests at our house because we like to entertain all the time. The only one complaint I would have is that it’s pretty loud. I had read all the reviews of everyone saying how quiet it is but perhaps I’ve never had an ice machine just to make ice so I am comparing it incorrectly. But I definitely recommended it to my friend since she came over and is buying one today. The only part that sucks for me is that I spent over $1000 and today it’s on sale for 649.
