Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Nice Ice!

NewTexan 8/27/2018

Bought this two weeks ago to replace a 7 year old ice maker that had burnt up its compressor. This thing is super quiet, makes a ton of ice quickly, and has bright LED lighting inside. Only improvement would be if they didn't ship with such an ugly door handle, emblazoned with red KitchenAid logos on each end; not at all discrete.

Beautiful Machine

Blue streak 8/21/2018

We were so excited to get our new ice maker. It was quieter than our last one. Made beautiful ice. But only lasted 3 weeks than the machine stopped making ice. We called(wait too long), tried to Chat(no one was available to Chat for 6 minutes). We decided to go for the email approach for service. I am still waiting for an response from the email. No ice for a week! So how do I get service?

Mlynnt 8/2/2018

This is my second kitchen aid ice maker. In comparison, this new one is very quiet, which we love! We also love that there is a light to see the ice cubes and we love the small squares of ice. I have absolutely no complaints and would not hesitate to recommend.

Replacement Icemaker

DTG1 8/2/2018

This purchase replaced another KitchenAid we'd had about 11 years, and I'm pleased with the performance thus far. Has been up and running for a week now, and all appears to be working well. Nice to have the integrated drain pump. Any brand of ice maker such as this one is a complicated piece of equipment with lots of mechanical parts-- but that's part of why the shape and quality of ice is so much better than what your refrigerator will make. Due to the nature of the appliance, I bought an extended warranty. Compared to other brands, I have found this unit as quiet or quieter than others. Because of the way it produces ice, it isn't realistic to expect that it will be perfectly silent. The online use and care guide can give you an idea of the occasional operational sounds you may hear, which are minimal, and stop entirely once the machine is full.

Before you buy... read this.

John1964 6/28/2018

It's a great ice maker and it works very well. However... when I purchased this from Sears, I was not told that I need a pump since I don't have a floor drain in my second story condo. I had to purchase a pump for an additional $400 not including installation. Now the problem is where does this drain? I have yet to find a plumber who can figure out how to connect the drain tube to my sink drain. My freezer makes ice and I don't need a pump and drain tube so why do I need one for this machine? Did Sears sell me the wrong ice maker even though they knew our exact needs? I bought 7 major appliances from them and this is the only one I'm having a problem with. I have spent over $3,000 on this and I still can't use it.

Perfect Under-Cabinet Ice Maker

JToups 6/5/2018

I had this exact model for 8 years in a previous home and was sad to leave it in the move, so when I remodeled, I added one to the layout! I am so happy I did! Perfect sized ice! Looks beautiful and produces ice quickly. A great addition if you entertain regularly or even if you don't!

Good ice, but rusted within a few months

IceMan2017 12/3/2017

We were very excited to add this ice maker to our new bar/kitchen at our lake house (to conveniently pack our coolers for boating, and entertain afterwards). Upon installation, it functioned as expected and yielded good quality ice in high volumes. However, after a few months, I was cleaning/inspecting the inside and noticed a very dark rust-colored stain on an inner surface. Come to find out, a small hidden bracket that holds a sensor in place in the upper interior of the unit was rusted. The purified water supply does not come into contact with this bracket, so it's very odd that it rusted in such a short amount of time. After some phone calls to KitchenAid, they agreed to a warranty replacement. I'm now thankful to have a new unit, and am hoping that this one has a stainless bracket that will not rust. Hopefully I can post a more positive rating once the new unit runs for a longer duration without issues. Thanks to KitchenAid for replacing the unit, and hopefully we'll have more luck with this one.

ICE-ICE-ICE BABY

3/8/2017

We have been spoiled to an ice-maker for 9 years. When it went out I realized how dependent on it we had become. However, I would trade it in, in a heartbeat, for this new Kitchen Aid ice-maker! It makes ice at twice the speed the other one did. The cubes are a little slimmer which makes them attractive when serving a beverage. The new machine maintains the ice longer than our previous one did, and I am delighted this Kitchen Aid ice-machine is now part of our kitchen appliance family!

This thing was terrible.

3/5/2017

Obvious cheap build right out of the box. Parts are plastic and fit is flimsy. I know ice makers are notoriously noisy, especially in a residential application, but this one is right up there. Made ice fine for the first year then began to produce inconsistent cube size and quantity, even with recommended cleanings. Limped along with it for another year when the compressor went out. Our appliance repair guy said it wasn't worth the cost to fix. The only reason I went with this one is a kitchen remodel to stainless and we had an 18" space. KitchenAid seems to be the only one making this size. My new ice maker will be a 15" Scotsman commercial grade unit. I'll gladly install fillers on each side for the new fit. If I'm going to pay almost as much for an ice maker as a full size refrigerator, it better last as long as I need it to. My 20 year old one is in the garage and still making ice!

Awesome icemaker.

2/16/2017

I've heard horror stories about built in icebreakers. My appliance guy, and friend Chuck Stokes was adamant about purchasing the kitchenaid due to lot maintenance. Looking around at other machines kitchenaid had the best ratings at a number of retailers at 4 star plus. I am truly enjoying it. Recommendation, opt for the drain pump. Sincerely DPM

Great under the counter ice maker ; filters incoming water

1/5/2017

Minerals and calcium in water take a toll on all the components of under the counter ice makers; frequent cleaning is required to prevent damage to pumps, solenoid valves, etc. This model has a decent replaceable filter that rids the incoming water line of contaminants , I'm confident that this improved model will last longer and require less maintenance.

Unimpressed

12/6/2016

I bought this ice maker less than six months ago, along with a full "dream kitchen" of Kitchenaid pro appliances. It was great at first but has now stopped making ice for the second time. Waiting 10 days for a service tech. All of my new appliances by Kitchenaid are failing or falling apart. Please do not buy these products! I can't wait to get rid of all of my Kitchenaid appliances and replace them with something else altogether. Anything would be an improvement.

Great ice production

12/5/2016

Upon receipt of the icemaker, which was a replacement for one that was 6 years old, installation was attempted and failed. The factory failed to connect an interior drain line so we had water shooting everywhere. After a repair, the icemaker has worked beautifully. Ice production is plentiful and precise. The associated sounds with the ice making process are minimal to our ears. We love having a bin full of ice at the ready. The option for increased production is also handy when company is here or we have a greater need.

Won't last a year

11/9/2016

We purchased our 2nd Kitchen Aid icemaker in Fall 2014. I cannot vouch for whatever happened to icemaker #1, because we moved from that house a few months after buying it, but welcome to the saga of icemaker #2. The icemaker that we purchased lasted less than one year. When it failed, we attempted to have it repaired under warranty, but let me tell you - finding anyone who even knows what an icemaker is is almost a joke. After 6 service appointments, 3 of which were a total waste because they sent "qualified technicians" who thought they were coming to repair a 1) refrigerator 2) refrigerator icemaker and 3) a dishwasher (?!?!), it was declared irreparable and a new unit was finally sent to us. It then took 2 appointments to get it installed because, well, see above. And then that unit didn't work. It would turn on but do nothing. Want to guess how many calls it took to first, get it checked out - "ma'am, I can't get the machine to do anything, I am not sure it works" - and then ultimately returned? We finally received the 3rd one in January of this year (2016). It is now November, and, well, that one, too, has stopped working. I am absolutely sick to my stomach to think about having to deal with this again. I seriously cannot warn you more strongly to NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME. KitchenAid icemakers will cause you nothing but grief in the end, which is sad, because for ~10 months, the ice was lovely. But unless you want to spend a lot of money for an appliance you are going to have to replace every year, I'd say get a really good cooler and ice delivery service instead.

Awesome Ice Maker

11/4/2016

We have been very satisfied with the performance of this KitchenAid stand alone automatic ice maker. We entertain often and find that we always needed ice and purchased our first ice maker years ago. In March of 2016 we had to replace it and we're not disappointed as it does a great job! I'm giving it a 4 star instead of 5 star rating just because the unit is very loud. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it. We also love the look of the updated KitchenAid Architect series!

Under Counter 18" Ice Maker

10/7/2016

We have had series of Ice Makers. The reliability is poor and repair support is lousy. I brought the current one because my wife's insistence. The prior one was brought and install in 2005. It went thru a number of failures and in 2013 failed such that the repair technician said it was not repairable. We were then without an under Counter Ice Maker for 3 years and relied of the Refrigerator Ice Maker supplement by bags of Ice purchased at Publix.

Ice maker

We had this for over 6 years in our home we just sold. This was the first thing we bought for our new home. Makes great ice and has been trouble free.
