Perfext when my ice maker went out in my freezer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was purchasing bags of ice from the convenience store when my ice maker went out in my refrigerator freezer... Bought this and am now using those bags to put some extra ice in my larger freezer (over the course of 3 days, I put 40 lbs in my larger freezer, five 8lb bags), while also using for my daily use in between. This way, I will have extra just in case I have a large group over or need to fill my ice chest. As far as price, I've already covered my purchase price of this ice machine in what I would have continued buying from the convenience store. Love the compact size of the ice machine (rectangular instead of square as it takes up less room on my counter) as well as the size of the "larger" ice cube setting. Very easy to use and actually I was surprised at how quiet it is! I calculated out the time and how much it was producing and it makes about a pound an hour and drops 9 cubes roughly about every 10 minutes (78° temperature in my home)... very very pleased! I did purchase the 2 yr warranty for $9.99 as the sales associate told me that if it quits making ice, they would replace it with a new one... can't beat that deal at all!

Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our refrigerator ice maker quite working so we went out and bought this one. We selected the small size and about 6 minutes it dropped out 9 ice rounds. Before we knew it the little tray was full. We scooped out some ice and it started making more ice. Bottom line it works so well that when our refrigerator maker started working we still use this one. The rounds (because they aren’t cubes) are soft enough that you can just eat them. The only irritating thing is after the sit for a while the rounds seem to freeze together, but you can deal with it. Also makes strange noises. We love it.

It's totally "iced!"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome bit of tech! For the refrigerator without an icemaker this is ideal. It recycles water (from melting cubes) and can continuously produce ice cubes after an initial 10-15 minute warm-up. Discard the first few baskets as indicated, and it takes a few hours before the metalic and/or plastic taste goes away. Takes up a bit of counter space, but well worth it. Love it!!

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve only used this for two days but so far so good. It only spits out 9 cubes at a time but it happens every 8 minutes. At first I didn’t think that was a lot but it’s actually enough. I focus on work for a bit, and when I turnaround the gray is full and I can fill up a 30oz tumbler. I purchased this to use at work and I share it with a coworker. And we have enough. We may even start to put the extra in baggies in the freezer so we can get ahead of it. It’s not noisy at all. What you hear for a quick second is the ice dropping in the the plastic tray when it’s ready. There are two cube size options. I have it set to the small size. Time will tell how well this holds up, but so far so good.

Great lil ice machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ice maker is great to use as a back up ice maker. If Your main ice maker can’t keep up with your demand this ice maker is great for back up. The ice is made fast and continuously. It can be used any where there is an electrical outlet and a flat surface.

Q: QuestionIf the ice melts does the water go back to the resivoir or does it need emptied every day?
Asked by Kayteab.
- A:Answer this only makes the ice, it doesn't keep it cold. so if the ice is left, it will melt and go back into the water used to make the ice. there is no need to empty the water everyday.

Answered by Icefan
Q: Questionhow do you clean it?
Asked by Dars.
- A:Answer You can clean it a couple different ways. One way is to pull the ice tray which can then be cleaned in the dishwasher. The actual ice maker itself cannot be submerged, it would have to be wiped down with a sponge and soap and water. Another way to clean that i find works best for me is filling the water tank with water mixed with vinger and lime and running the ice maker. This way it runs through all the water pipes and also cleans the ice tubes. Only down fall to this is you would have to run a couple cycles of clean water after to flush out the vinger/lime water mix or else your cubes may have a sour taste.
