    It works makes ice in about 10 minutes after the second batch the red light comes on which means it needs more water, you have to remove the isr basket and put it back in and it will start making ice again.

    It makes ice quicker than my refrigerator ice maker. Perfect for large families, cookouts and parties. If it kept the ice frozen I would have given it 5 stars.

    I haven’t deal with another ice maker before to compare. How ever, it does the job. I was under the impression that the ice cubes will came out bigger, but no complaint. Also, I think that the noise is normal and not extremely laud. It allows you to keep your conversations with your friends.

    Purchased this as replacement for previous one I purchased exactly 13 month ago. This time around i purchased the extended warranty in light of not wanting to drop anyther $125 in a year time. The unit worked just as expected for the first 2 weeks, then it started to keep making ice without stopping and the mechanism got stuck with excessive ice buildup. Brought in the machine 3 weeks after to replace and had to use the warranty purchased to get a replacement so now im stuck with a machine that will break again in 12 month and will need to purchase again. Only good thing is that I will still save money compared to purchase ice every other day.

    it does the job

    I've owned at least 4 of these bullet ice makers. This one is a little bit smaller, and offers only 2 sizes of ice: small or large. This also means it can produce less ice over a 24-hour period and holds less ice at any given time. Also, due to its smaller size, it's more difficult to clean the freezing prongs as there is simply very little room to get your hand back there. Otherwise, it carries over the same flaws as the other bullet-style ice makers: it can only hold more than a couple dozen cubes of ice at a time unless you're watching it. The design of these systems causes all the produced ice to stack up near where they dump and will trigger the "ice full" sensor long before the ice catch container is truly full. They're also not "loud" but they're far from quiet. You will not want to sit in the same room where you have this thing running. The ice is also "wet" and will melt VERY quickly if used immediately. It's best if you transfer the ice into your freezer and let it finish freezing for a couple of hours. However, since they're wet when you stick them into the freezer this ALSO means that those cubes are going to freeze to each other, requiring you to break them apart later. These units also tend to last between 8-9 months of consistent use. I'll try to update this review in another 7 months to report if it has held up longer. Unless you need the smaller size, at its regular price point I would pass and by a different brand that is larger. If you can catch it on sale, then it's a reasonable purchase amongst its competitors.

    I purchased this for when I go camping. I am in love with this machine! All weekend I had ice. I never had to run to the store to get another bag. I just need to remember to bring a case of water specifically for the machine. I am still in awe how quickly it worked.

    I originally bought this machine because i thought its Small Ice option was "nugget ice", it wasn't. It's cylindrical ice with a dimple. Still a very good quality ice maker.

    Makes plenty of ice in a relatively short amount of time. We were having issues trying to keep up with our ice demands from the fridge and ice trays we’re taking to long. This fills the gap and now we have no issues.

    My wife bought this ice machine for our family parties and outdoor gatherings because we always seem to run out of ice at the most inopportune time. We’ve used it a few times since she bought it and it has been very handy. We have not been disappointed yet and would highly recommend it.

    I love this ice maker. We make and go through so much ice and are saving so much money by not buying bags of ice. Sometimes when we would buy ice it was in such huge chunks we couldn't use it or t was freezer burned and had an awful taste and smell. Now, our ice is always fresh and tastes great.

    This ice maker is a great idea for a kitchen accessory.. it saves you time and money on getting messy bags of ice. Not to mention you never really know how long the bags sit in those freezers at thebstores..

    Nice little machine. When starting out, using really cold water increases the size of your ice cubes, otherwise the cubes will be really small unless the water is cold. This little bugger just keeps chucking out the cubes as long as you keep the water receptical full.

    Makes plenty of ice… fast. But I wouldn’t trust leaving outside in the Florida heat. Somehow, in less than a few hours, tiny ants found their way inside … don’t need that in my ice cubes. But it’s a workhorse.

    This little machine makes nice ice cubes. The process is a little slow, and the ice cubes are not huge. But it's reliable, quiet and really pleasant. My family and I like it a lot. We're glad we bought it.

    This icemaker can't be stopped! It makes ice very quickly and you can be guaranteed that you will never run out again! I thought that the quality might suffer due to the very reasonable price, but I trusted the other positive reviews, and am very happy I did!
