I just got my Vevor snowflake ice maker hooked up; it only took me 30-minutes, and it took only 10-minutes to start making ice. My wife and son were both delighted and said, "now that's soft ice". It's truly like the ice served at Sonic and Captain D's, and nothing like the Opal and GE nugget ice makers produce. Before getting this icemaker, I returned three of the competitors "nugget ice makers", because they didn't make true, soft ice. Instead, they made small hard nuggets of ice that could possibly break a tooth or a filling. Now, back to this icemaker, it makes about as much noise as a dishwasher without good soundproofing, but that's no problem for me because I set it up in our garage, which is well insulated, and it's heated and air-conditioned. It's actually a bit large for most countertops, but would fit well below countertops, built in like a dishwasher or small fridge. We are going to thoroughly enjoy having this icemaker, because it makes true soft ice, not nuggets! It's been running about 10 hrs. and is really cranking out the ice fast. I can't testify as to its longevity yet, but I do believe it will last a long time because it's made more like a commercial ice maker, and it's only slightly higher in price than those fake soft ice making machines. I'll get back to you after operating this one for several months. PACKAGING: I was thoroughly impressed with the Packaging for shipping. These people must have written the book on packaging appliances for shipment. It was unbelievably good, and it would have taken an awful lot of rough handling to scratch or dent this icemaker; they had it sitting on a solid wooden pallet with several layers of protection completely surrounding it. PRODUCTION: This icemaker holds 11 lbs of ice and is supposed to make 55 lbs of ice per 24 hr. day, but mine has already exceeded that amount in just 10 hrs. I believe mine is probably making closer to 100 lbs in 24 hours. NOTE: Make sure the drain line from the icemaker travels dow
