    This is a great little ice machine. Our icemaker broke in our refrigerator, so we bought this portable ice maker. Used it for almost 2 years 24/7 until we bought a new fridge. Sure would recommend for a backup! Saved us lots of money by not having to buy ice!

    Got this as a DOTD and works good as a backup to the fridge icemaker. disadvantage is you have to keep filling it with water and you must remove the ice before it melts as it is NOT self cooling after the ice is made. Good news melted ice just becomes ice again

    Doesn't make large ice cubes but its perfect size to cool a glass of water, soda, juice, etc. Since the ice cubes are relatively small (even if you set it to large) it melts fast in the machine so once it drops you need to transfer it to a container in your freezer.

    You have to make sure water is in it because the "out of water" light doesn't always work. Also, if you open it too much, the ice comes out soft, but I like it...it's like slush bites! lol Pretty good product, though...no more constantly filling up ice trays!! :)

    sometimes it thinks it is full when it is not, but they all have this from either a dirty sensor or from ice buck being misaligned. It's been fine so far, but these usually fail between a year and a half to two years, so we will see

    Handy Addition for Travel Trailer

    Purchased this Ice Maker for use in our travel trailer, but it has also been handy to have at home when we need increased ice making capacity when entertaining. Works well, and saves having to purchase bagged ice. Works as advertised, so far.

    Keeps ice frozen overnight, No draining needed. Replenishes melted ice/water after it melts. We leave the ice maker on everyday- no need for ice trays in my freezer... love it!!

    Not as good as I hoped it would be..

    I bought this to supplement my refrigerator ice maker when it cannot keep up with demand. I works well in the kitchen, but when I placed it in a less cool room, it did not perform as well. The ice cubes were smaller and slow to form. I do not think it can be used on a patio where the temp is very warm. Also, it only makes one size cube that is useable. I selected SMALL and it produced large cubes. When I selected LARGE it produced smaller cubes that are barely frozen. Since I only need it when my refrigerator ice maker is slow, I'll keep it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I chose to not spend almost half of what I spent on the refrigerator to replace motor (parts and labor) AND this little unit can go wherever I go whereas my refrigerator can't! Good product!

    I bought it as a gift for someone when it was on sale. I preferred igloo bug it was sold out. There was small hiccup at first few days with "ice full" sensor but it disappeared after. So far so good, I can't complain. It does as it is supposed to.

    This works perfectly for 2-3 people's ice use. We love the shape and texture of the ice as well. It does melt easily during even "medium" room temperatures though. Not a huge deal, but the flavor and texture changes and bit because of it.

    I was skeptical about purchasing an ice machine for my road trip ice chest. After using this ice machine i am happy i bought it. It makes enough ice for my small yeti so i can take a small amount of drinks and snacks.

    Our fridge doesn’t produce enough ice for a house full of thirsty guys so I purchased this to supplement. I usually run it all day on the week-ends and bag it up to freeze. It continuously puts out “ice bullets” at a good rate. No complaints.

    I bought this machine after looking at more expensive ice makers in different stores with some bad reviews. I came across this particular ice maker and expected it to break within the week but it has gone beyond my expectations. I LOVE IT!

    I saw some negative reviews but many positive and decided to take a chance. For 6 weeks now ZERO problems. An ice maker for our refrigerator cost twice as much PLUS installation. This thing makes ice fast! At HALF the price! Very satisfied.

    We were really surprised at how quiet and efficient this ice maker is. We use alot of ice and our refrigerator ice maker can't keep up. Temps are reaching 119 outside so having lots of ice helps keep us hydrated. Thanks for a great product!

    Bought for the RV, but use it daily in the house now that the fridge ice maker quit working. My only complaint is I wish the back half of the top came off for easier cleaning. Other than that, no issues!

    This thing is amazing and is perfect for our need. During warm weather and grandkids around, we use extra ice and just bring it out and keep it in use. Sometimes we make ice a couple of days head and bag it.

    Have had this ice maker for about 6 months. It has done what it was supposed to. It makes ice. It doesn’t make I as fast as I thought it would but is sufficient for the price I paid. I would suggest.
