We used to have a refrigerator that had a ice maker and dispenser in the door. We moved into a small apartment, no ice maker, this little jewel has made everybody in the house happy. 4 people but the wife is the ice consumer. This ice maker has saved lives..... mine. :)

Our refrigerator makes plenty of ice for us but when we have guest it just can’t keep up with the demand. This portable ice maker is great. The cubs are small but perfect for what we want to use it for. Once you empty the basket the ice cubs keep making more. Love it.

This machine does a nice job of delivering Ice... Would have given five stars but the only issue is that the ice comes out wet and when transfered to the freezer, they freeze together. However, I am very satisfied with what the amount of ice this machine produces.

My fridge ice maker did not work and I had paid to have it fixed twice and did not want to do it again and not ready to purchase a new fridge. This item did the trick for me. I now have ice when I need it. It makes ice fast so do not worry about the volume. I have used for 3 weeks and very pleased.

I replace an ice make that went out that worked great. This ice machine has a smaller capacity then the old one. You are constantly changing the bin to get more ice. One thing I did notice that if you put the first couple of batches in the water reservoir it will produce larger cubes.

I purchased this to replace an older ice maker for my husband. This machine works well and makes good size ice quickly which comes in very handy when entertaining especially on warm summer days. I would recommend this ice maker to anyone who needs to supplement the ice produced by their refrigerator/freezer.

Ice maker is great addition. Makes plenty of ice when we need it. I know that these kind of ice makers dont have built in freezers which makes the ice a bit glossy, but, when the basket gets half full, transfer the ice to a baggy or bin and put it in your freezer and you will be fine.

This unit replaced another unit by a different manufacturer. It makes ice quicker than my old unit. I would have liked for it to have three (3) ice sizes but, two (2) is fine. When reading the manual, I was surprised to see that I could use tap water as apposed to distilled water. I love my unit.

Bought the unit for my Boat. Keeps up with the demand of ice for 4 people having drinks.. We also store the excess amount it makes overnight in the freezer.. It keeps the ice in the unit a long time but it's not a freezer.. As the ice melts it just makes new cubes with the water and keeps it full.

Went and got this ice machine after our other one bit the dust. It is a great ice maker, different from the igloo one we had. On the igloo after you add water it would automatically make ice. This model after you add water you have to restart it. But overall I love it.

Makes cute little and small cubes even though it says large. They are thumb size with hole in the center. The cubes are not dry but wet when they are done, so sticking can be a problem if you let the ice sit for more than 4 hours. Makes ice pretty quick. Great ice maker.

The ice maker works a lot faster than what I thought it would. I add 2 large cups of water and dump the ice into my broken ice maker bin on my side by side. Then we use the dispenser on the refrigerator. Sometimes you mar need to break it up because it sticks together.

The ice maker makes ice very quickly, much quicker than I expected. But the tray that holds the ice is very small. So it will not build up a large amount of ice, it will just make new ice quickly over and over. I was mislead when it said makes 26 lbs per day.

This ice maker has been a great supplement to the ice maker in our fridge, and it makes better ice. Love it so far! The only concern is that the ice is still wet once you put it in the freezer so it will clump together. I usually wait 10 minutes, and then break it up and then you are golden.

We used this on our generator during Hurricane Irma and it worked so well we kept it around. Now we are active RV'ers and find irreplaceable on a long weekend. It's quick and efficient. Highly recommended. Only slight fall back is it's a little bit bulky.

I bought this because I cant hook up ice maker on freezer. It works great. It says it will make 26pound in 24 hours, well only if you want to stay up for 24 hours to empty the ice bin and add water. It does put out a good amount fairly quickly once it gets started.

This ice maker goes on every camping trip with us. It is great to always have ice available for mixing drinks around the campsite. Have had this ice maker for 2 seasons now and have not had any issues with it.

I got this as a Christmas present for my son - he has told me several times that it works great, but is a little noisier than his previous one. I also purchased the warranty program for this gift, as he has hard water which tends to wreak havoc on ice makers and coffee pots.

We recently bought a travel trailer, and purchasing ice is a pain, plus there isn’t a lot a room to store it. This ice maker has been a life and money saver this summer. We just place it on the counter, put water in and boom, we are making ice in no time at all!
