Update: 3rd Unit died after we had it for 2 Months. Going to try another brand.
Purchased this about 2 months ago, unit arrived and was leaking, took the top off and found a loose feeder hose. Fixed it in about 5 minutes, and everything was good for about a month, then the unit stopped working and starting making a really loud grinding sound when it started to make ice. Called Newair and they sent out a replacement unit. It got here in a few days, but when I plugged it in it tripped my circuit breaker. So had to get another unit sent out. So far the 3rd unit has been working good for about a week.
When the unit works it makes ice quick, but is a little on the loud side. I would not want it running if I was going to be right next to it. I usually just start it when I get up then go to my office, so not a big deal for me.
Does not have a stop feature so once the cycle has started you need to trick it into thinking it's full to get it to stop.
Does not have a restart option so as the ice gets used or melts, you need to manually restart it.
Having said all that it is still great to have nugget ice and we use it everyday. If you really like ice it is worth getting, if not maybe wait a year or so since others are starting to make nugget ice machines. Samsung even has one built into their new refrigerator coming out.
