We bought this ice machine in the last year and have been very pleased. The rate of ice cubes Preparation however nich enough for a party on the fly. However one can also prepare the ice indeed. We make ourselves a times a week and have the ice then. In a box in the freezer The machine is very easy to clean, not too noisy, and when you throw the first ice cubes into the water again, the production of ice subsequent accelerated considerably. In addition, you should let "rest" for about 1 hour before the machine is allowed to proceed, the remaining water, so the ice melting away in the cover and to drain. I put the machine in a corner on the sink and even put a towel under to achieve a better downhill. Thus, the residual water is quickly out.
What should be mentioned very positive in my view, is the great service by Unold. We have lost the closure of the water outlet of the machine after a very short time. I have been in contact with Unold by mail and described the facts. 48 hours later the new lock was free and even without postage in my mailbox. This service I think is absolutely great !!!! I'm going to keep me in the future probably more often to Unold equipment, if you can keep up quality and price.
