I was told it could be up to a year for new plates and that they were willing to give smaller plates that would reduce capacity instead that would only take a few weeks to a month to receive.... I was like wtf

    It’s too bad but most if not all commercial kitchen equipment, hot and cold has gone down hill . Top brands are no different or worse then off brands in quality and reliability these days . Are you in Nepean ?

    I gotta ask, do you know who installed the machine? I know you talk about issues with those fittings a lot, and it makes me wonder if there's some fly by night installer in your area. Im not trying to be a fan boy im genuinely curious. Ive been doing restaurant maintenance on the east coast for 12 years for a restaurant that pretty much exclusively uses hoshizaki and out of the 15 restaurants i regularly serve each having 2 machines usually a km-900 and a km-1340 ive only ever had to fix one leaking fitting that i can remember. Or is it maybe a age thing? The restaurant I work with is pretty good about replacing units after about 10 years. Ive also only seen plate separation that bad like that 2x that i can remember.

    "These things are junk"
    lol ,they really are. But I always wanted an ice machine growing up as a kid.
    yep that was strange. Got one now in fridge,But water supply tube nd fittings always get clogged nd frozen.
    always on a maintenance call,for life .

    Hoshi in my book is one of the best, when you get a good one that is.
    Hate working on them. Never recommend them.
    Warranty work sucks. Used to take close to 6 months to get paid.

    New unit quote Are you in Orleans ?

    That separation is crazy.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GamblerMarco says:

    Been working on ice machines for 40+ years… I gotta assume Hoshi didn't pay you or something. What I see there is a total lack of maintenance. which causes freeze ups which causes separations. Out of all ice machines, I loved hoshi for how fast they make ice and hold up in our SW florida by the beach environments.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars THUMBS DOWN BUTTON says:

    hoshi is a well built machine.
    looks like little to no maintenance over the years

    I used to recommend Hoshizaki all the time, but the quality has really gone down. The plate separation has been one of their main issues, but it used to take a few good years to happen that bad. 😟

    Best brands of ice machines in order from highest quality to lowest. What do y’all have? I’m curious

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bunda says:

    I agree I have a double decker one it’s huge. I will give it some point for making huge amounts of ice fast tho.

    Hardest to clean correctly, evaporator are trash. I tell my customers to avoid them like the plague. Still not as bad as the new CIM crap o matic
