I own a small restaurant. Went from an under counter ice machine to full sized unit awhile back. Brought the old under counter machine home to use. Paid $1000 for it, used.
It’s a Manitowok and works great! Just needs routine maintenance and cleaning on occasion.

I skipped the ice machine and blew a few hundred grand on other shite. Tell me again why you need a Hoshizaki

I have a 2 year old Hoshizaki (top hat cubes) and really like it. We'll see how it stands the test of time.

My house came with a KitchenAid under counter ice maker. I replaced two drain pumps. The third time the drain pump failed, I took it out and took the top off. Two spikes from the top protrude into the reservoir. When the water in the reservoir gets high enough the water bridges the two spikes completing the circuit and causing the drain pump to run emptying the reservoir. My spikes were slimy due to not having a water filter on the water supply. I cleaned the spikes and it started working again. Now, in addition to the normal cleaning, I pour some vinegar down the ice melt hole to get it into the reservoir to clean the spikes.
