    This works amazingly we don’t leave it on until we can keep up with the making of ice then put ice in ziplock bags and start again. So far it’s been great We actually love it glad we got it cause we been wanting one but reviews weren’t good but believe me i would tell you if it wasn’t a good product

    I'm glad I purchased this item. The days maybe getting a little shorter but its still hot and humid out. Which makes having an extra little ice maker outside in the patio area a perfect idea. You'll get 9 pieces of ice every 7 minutes or so. The unit maybe small but it fills up rather quickly. This is my second unit, make sure to use only filtered water, so the hard water build on the inside of the unit doesn't clog up too quickly. Otherwise, no other tips or tricks. It's pretty self explanatory. Enjoy!

    Excellent machine! Has worked flawlessly for us for about a year, now. Once the water in the reservoir and the ice-making “fingers” are cold enough, it makes decent sized small cubes. Starting with mildly cold water, the first cubes will be tiny, even on the large setting. But after the first few batches, you’re good! As another reviewer suggested, kickstart your ice making by putting ice into the reservoir (or the first batch or two you make). Would absolutely recommend and purchase again. Much better unit than the brand-name one we initially bought.

    Due to having ongoing issues with a fridge that frosts regularly, I am not able to use the ice making function on my fridge and regularly find myself buying ice cubes. I was delighted to spy this ice maker while checking out a potential new fridge purchase and am so happy I bought it! It is easy to use, makes plenty of ice in a short period of time, and I find myself using it daily.

    Cheaper than buying ice over for over a month

    I bought this after my refrigerator died and borrowed someone's mini fridge while waiting to find any full sized refrigerator to be in stock. Obviously I'm being a little facetious, but I wasn't going to go for a small refrigerator that landlords and apartment complexes buy to cheap out on tenants. Anyways, while waiting to get a refrigerator for my home, I was supplementing a mini fridge with a cooler to keep items that should be kept cold but don't need a consist low temperature (eg fruit, condemints, etc.). Given I knew I would need to use the cooler for at least a month, I opted to buy this rather than buy ice from a store. 30 days was the brake even point to justify buying an ice maker. I'm glad I bought this. I've used it much longer. As far as how well this runs, it can fill the bucket in about an hour, putting out nine bullet shaped ice cubes at a time. I never timed how often, but I think it's about every five minutes. The machine does not keep the ice frozen, but as the ice melts, it drips back into the reservoir so shouldn't pose a problem if you are just taking the ice directly from the machine. I was taking the bucket out to dump it into a cooler, so I was aware of the fact of how much water drips from the bucket if you wait for it to completely fill before taking it out. The machine can make two different sizes, but I've only done the larger size. I don't know if it remembers what size you've last had it made, it was the size that it went to when I first turned it on and given I was primarily just dumping the ice into a cooler, I just left it on that setting. The machine does get loud when it drops the ice, then again when it moves the ice into the bucket, but other than that I don't have any real complaints about this ice maker.

    So, I've been carrying a Yeti cup to work everyday so I could have ice for my drinks. I saw this ice maker on sale for $49.99 and checked out the reviews. After careful consideration I decided to make the purchase. This turned out to be one of the best investments I have made for my office in years!. This little machine makes great ice cubes in a very short time. For the first couple of cycles the cubes are very small but by the third or fourth cycle they are a perfect size and very icy. The ice maker is ONLY an ice make and doesn't keep the cubes frozen after they are made but that's no big deal because as the ice melts the water goes back into the water reservoir to be made back into cubes again. So far my experience (after about 3 weeks) has been excellent. Some reviews of this ice maker weren't the best so I purchased the extended warranty "just in case". I have a feeling that it will not be necessary. This is a great little machine, Don't hesitate to buy it, PARTICULARLY if it's on sale. It's a flat bargain at that price!

    Works well when new. Makes ice fast. The problem is that none of these last very long. The one i had prior to this one actually lasted 14 months. Expect about a year and make sure you purchase the geek squad protection.

    Makes ice super fast, easy to set up and easy to use. I also like how narrow it is so it doesn’t take up as much counter space.

    I've had this ice maker for a little over 10 months now and I pretty much use it every day since. It's extremely convenient and fairly fast in producing the ice bullets whether you choose the large or small size. It generally takes about 5-6 minutes and it kicks out 8 ice molds. It take maybe 45 minutes to completely fill the removable ice tray. The only cons that I have that aren't really a big deal, is that the stop sensor is quite sensitive and will not create more ice when blocked. Since the ice doesn't neatly drop in the basket, you occasionally have to level out the ice where it doesn't block the sensor for it to continue producing. The other is the handle on the basket is pretty flimsy and cracked within a month and I'm not sure if a replacement is offered. I still use it but I'm just more careful when removing the basket from the chamber.
