Seems to be only an added military discount that brings it down that much

Hesitant to give them another chance, but the ice was great while it worked, but $500 for a years worth of ice was ridiculous.
Does anyone know what the return process is through the all-state/citi warranty? Can I still just take it back to Costco in year 4 or 7 or do I have to go a different route through all-state and another route through Citi, where I have to pay for shipping (these suckers are very heavy)? When I wanted to send my first one back to Opal for repairs out of warranty the shipping alone was $150. The shipping and repairs was basically the same as the purchase price so I said forget it.
EDIT: I just spoke with Costco chat, and was told this was eligible for lifetime returns. Not sure if they were correct. I saved the chat log, can I use that to return to Costco when (not if) it breaks?
Go through about a gallon of water per day mainly for myself. My two year old son loves just eating the ice also.
Why do I know all this? I'm insane. Also, I stalked restaurant auctions in the 2010-2015 time frame looking for an undercounter unit to put in my game room. I found one and won the auction for $300, and had to drive a pretty good distance to pick it up. I then stripped, cleaned and reassembled the whole thing, replacing a couple of worn parts for $150-200 or so. It's been running well ever since, though any replacement parts are stupid expensive so I'm always a bit paranoid.

Sipping a half glass of water and crunching ice write now as I type.
On a second one now after the first needed warranty replacement after fewer than 8 months. It has same finicky issues, but so far I've been able to get it to prime after a while.
Definitely recommend if you can get it with a long term warranty.

Warranty will only get you another one that is likely to die in 1-2 years. After spend half your life trying to get someone on the phone who will do the warranty, the warranty ends, then the one you have dies within a year or two.
Horrible dynamics here.
If everyone was saying this thing lasted forever, I'd buy it.
