“Kenmore Built-In Icemaker (8958) works great and is a steal!”
“wastes water and only worked 3 years”
Our Kenmore icemaker is broken after only 3 years. We didn't get the extra warranty and maybe should have so we could have used it a few more years. It just stinks to have to spend extra money to be sure your product will be around longer. We liked having small cubes for packing coolers, blending, family...

Kenmore Built-In 51 lb. Capacity Ice Maker... Reviews
Great Price for a machine with such high output of ice in a 24 hour period.
Most machines similar to this one run for at least $1,800.
Kenmore is a well trusted brand name and sears provides great service and warranty.
Purchased in 2004 when we build "dream kitchen". Worked great for about a year and a half and then started going through pumps. Compressor went at one point also. Sears out several times under protection agreement and "repaired" but took up until August 2009 to get them to honor lemon protection.
Makes crystal clear ice, great for drinks and entertaining!
Get the protection agreement. Was worth every penny.
We have had this thing less than 4 years, already had it replaced with a new one and it is broke. Way too many problems and service calls for the average family. Get warranty if you do get one!!
Makes great clear ice. Great job when it is working.
The first one I bought, I was too cheap to buy the extedned warrenty. It went bad and cost more to repair then to buy a new one. They repair folks in my area have not clue on how to repair one of these anyhow. You WILL be using the warrenty within the 5 years. For some reason these units are not able to last more than a few years.
I would recommend only if the 5 yr extended warrenty is purchased with the unit. Expect to buy a new unit in 6-7 years.
Dissatisfied. 3 of the 4 major alppliances we bought from Sears didn't work and required a service repairman to replace critical parts.
I have bought 2 of these icemakers in the last 14 years. I have 4 friends that have under counter icemakers also that love them. The whole family loves the fresh, clear ice readily-available, especially for parties in hot South Texas. I run the cleaning cycle once a month that is easy to do. But you still need to buy the annual maintenance plan that runs around $125 each year. The techs are great, and give you tips on how to prolong the life of this machine, and I make sure to follow their guidelines. Yes - it is an expensive convenience. If you are trying to save money, this is not for you if...
