Frigidaire 33 lb Day Capacity Nugget Ice Maker Black Stainless Steel - high-capacity nugget icemaker producing soft chewable ice ideal for kitchens, entertaining, and everyday use

I bought the first one of these and had it shipped and it died within about a month. I made sure that it was upright for a couple of days before I plugged it in just to be sure the refrigerant would have time to settle. It worked well until it burned up. It got returned. I really like the ice and the size of this machine, so I decided to try it again. I bought one in store and carried it at home making sure to keep it upright. this one has been going for many months and makes ice beautifully and has no issues whatsoever. I'm certain that shipping one and having it mailed and being tipped on its side or upside down is problematic for it. this little ice machine is a champ and I would absolutely buy it again and recommend it to anyone. Yes, it makes noise. The ice is worth it. It takes a very little counter space compared to any of the other nugget ice machines. I know because I've had them. It's very easy to clean and it's even easier when you get an ozone machine and you use ozone water to run through it regularly. It doesn't hurt the machine and it dissipates and is safe to eat the ice that comes out of it, and this way, there is no gunk that builds up in the machine. It's much better than having to take everything apart and clean it all the time. It just stays clean and disinfected. Highly recommended ice machine. Great value!

I love the ice that it makes. I WANT to give it a 5 star rating. Although the ice it makes is great, the actual product itself will leak out the rest of the water at the end of every ice cycle. This leaves a huge puddle of water on your countertop, so be mindful when purchasing.
