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.

REVIEW of the Self-cleaning Countertop Ice Maker
Dan and Doby ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Updated review-Newair is sending a replacement.
***updated review***I contacted Newair to let them know about the problem. They were so fast in responding. They are sending me a replacement unit today.—I purchased the 44 lb ice maker in black 9 months ago to replace my GE Opal Profile nugget ice maker that finally died after 4 years of use. It’s always run quite louder than the GE Opal ice maker I had. Today I heard a horrible louder than normal banging noise coming from my kitchen. I went to investigate and found the roof/top of thus ice maker was lifting/splitting from the ice machine. The oddest thing was that ice was literally piling up and breaking through the top of the ice maker. I’m very disappointed with this product. I will be replacing this ice machine with a GE Opal.
