This ice maker is the perfect compact size and produces ice cubes really quickly. It is not very loud which is a plus.

I've had this about a month and am very pleased. I primarily use ice for daily water, iced tea, and iced coffee when I work from home, but hate the ice that my fridge automated icemaker makes; hate messing with plastic trays; and love the "store ice" but the bags take up too much room in my freezer. This compact machine meets my personal needs very well. I usually keep about 1 pounds of ice in a silicone storage bag in freezer. But I've also kept it permanently "on" for a couple of days, and it is pretty quiet, except when the ice drops into the reservoir. For purposes of keeping cold drinks cold, for 1-2 people, it's great. The ice isn't as hard or as big as normal cubes, but that's OK by me. I just love having a standard supply while still having lots of ice in my freezer. Very happy, and hope the machine proves to be reliable and long-lasting as time goes on.

We have used it 24/7 for the last month with no problem. Saves me from running to get ice and pops. Use it on countertop. Noise is moderate. Mechanism is interesting to watch. Doesn't store ice more than 12 hours. Per what I researched. Easy to empty and refill.

We are very pleased with this ice maker... I bought it to help supplement the lack of ice production of my fridge's ice maker that is currently not working (Samsung, less than 2 years old - Google it and you will understand!) and the need of my wife to chew ice! The machine is easy to set up, relatively quiet and does the job....

Worked great until it didn’t
Needs to be cleaned regularly
Don't bother buying extended warranty, what was in place upon purchase isn't in fact what is the definition or word of BB when there product breaks down. They lie to & make it impossible for handicap people

I expected it to take much longer and for the quality of ice to be much lower, but it works exceptionally well, produces bullet ice with that perfect crunchy quality, and makes the ice so fast that by the time I'm finished one iced coffee, I can make a second!

It produces fairly good ice, in a fairly short amount of time. The issues it has are that it’s hard to clean (so it gets that plasticky wet smell if you don’t drain it immediately), and the ice doesn’t stay super cold once it gets dumped into the basket. If you transfer it to the freezer while it’s half melted, it all freezes back together. If you can handle all that, you’ll probably be satisfied with it.

This is super quiet and makes small and larger ice. We love this machine as it remakes our ice constantly by adding just a bit of clean water.

Our ice maker in our refrigerator stopped working, so we needed a lower cost alternative for ice. We purchased this ice maker to supplement, and have been really pleased! There are 3 different sizes of ice to choose from, and it makes a batch fairly quickly. Water does need to be added frequently to make the ice, but it is easy to fill and makes several batches. We love it!! Great product!

This is a perfect choice for us. This Ice Maker has fit the bill for us. Has been a beautiful replacement since our frig was a dud. Ice size is great. Really puts out well. Not noisy! Our frig had real issues making ice. We decided not to repair the frig.

Well, first of all Best Buy sent us the wrong one and I didn't notice it until I was trying to find instructions on how to clean it. Ours is some ancient version of this and has no option to clean it. I'm not pleased about that. But, the product itself is great. We run it every day and have ice all day. I really like having it and it runs like a champ, so I'm going to give it 5 stars, but it isn't the same model.
