Nugget ice is great. We've had ours (different brand than the one in this video) since Apr 2017. The real key to success for long life with these ice makers regardless of brand is to CLEAN THEM REGULARLY. Seriously, it is critical. Ours sits on the counter 24x7 making ice on-demand, and we don't have our ice maker in the freezer even turned on anymore - it was just getting old. Good to know about this brand and model, and looking forward to hearing how long it lasts for folks who give it a go.

We bought the RW Flame nugget one when you reviewed it with your discount and had issues straight away. It would work great about an hour then just stop producing ice like it was froze up so we’d turn it off and let it all melt and turn back on then it would work great again another hour or so. Contacted RW Flame with no results. Called the number that came with unit and lady gave me email to send all my info she wanted And nothing. Did that twice. So we definitely won’t be buying anything from them again either. Was nice spending less money but if it doesn’t work right and company has terrible customer service it’s not worth the savings. I have several friends that have the GE profile Opal 2.0 for years now with no issues. They have theirs on 24/7 too. They are double the price but hey they work lol. At least I still can use ours if I’m home and can babysit it. I’m super happy to hear you aren’t promoting RW Flame though. A lot of creators could care less if the companies customer service sucks. Me and my husband watch all your videos and we don’t live that way apart so when you’re talking about preparing for certain weather conditions we’re doing the same in northwest Florida lol.

What did you buy why wont people say what bad machine they use ???

[@LatitudeSky]

Lots of features for a really good price. May have to try this. But I gotta say, what chilled me in this video wasn't the ice. I have an icemaker and bag and put up my extra ice, stored in freezer bags just like you. But I would never ever break up those bags by throwing them on the floor. The floor is going to be dirty, no way around it. And the bags do tear or get contaminated in filth and there's no way I want that on bags of ice I will be eating. So I keep a dead blow hammer in my freezer. Wooden handle, rubber head. Cheap at Harbor Freight. Never leaves my freezer. Never used for hitting anything except bags of ice, and washable if it ever gets dirty. That hammer is the only thing that I use for breaking up bags of ice. There's also no risk of hard bags of ice bashing the floor. My mom used to bang bags of ice against the fridge door and it made the door look like five miles of bad road. Using a dedicated freezer hammer saves all that damage.

Those are always per day numbers in perfect conditions. You will have to dump the basket every couple of hours or it fills up and cuts off. It's just the nature of a table top machine. We usually put up several gallon bags of ice in a day when I am running it while working around the house.
