For RVing it’s worth every penny

This ice maker has mostly been great and I 100% recommend it (but also get the $20ish extended service warranty thing because we’ve used it once and getting a brand new replacement was too easy)! We mostly use it RVing and while I always thought it was a needless purchase it’s been a game changer! My dislikes are that it’s a royal pain to clean the insides (rarely needed), it is a bit noisy, the basket design causes the ice to dam up and stop making before it’s actually full, and there’s no discernible difference between the Large and Small ice cube sizes (somewhat common among ice makers). Also it would’ve been nice for them to add a hanger on the left side for the ice scoop (we added a command strip hook). We only use filtered water in it (ZeroWater or WaterDrop pitcher) which will definitely extend its life! Obviously keep it away from sources of heat and give it a decent clearance around the vents on the back and right hand side. If this one breaks outside of the warranty period I imagine we’ll buy another identical one!

It works as advertised. Very nice addition for the rv. Ideal size cubes for drinks and your adding the water so you know what your consuming. The down side is that the ice needs to be put into the freezer or else it will melt.

Great little machine. I am chewing on ice a lot and our refrigerator icemaker could not keep up. Now we have a water softener and I also use the filtered water from the refrigerator to make the ice nuggets from this machine which are super soft. It runs as long as I’m home and not sleeping. Only comment I wish when the bin was full that it would beep so I know to get up and dump it it gives you a red light that’s it. Note that this is not a freezer so ice does start to melt while sitting in the bin. Using the small cube size (shown) it takes 5 min to make the first set of nuggets and 1hour to fill the bin. But that’s fm being off all night. You cannot change the speed. Lol - Note fm my photo it will need to vent on the right.

We love this ice maker!! We had a 50th birthday party and needed to make extra ice, it worked great. We had it on the bar, so they had fresh ice the whole time. Everyone that came to the party said they needed one of these. We loved the 2 sizes of ice, every 6 minutes, new ice!!

Amazing countertop ice maker. First time I saw one was at a friend’s BBQ. Use this at the lake house. No longer have to buy bags of ice. I’ve is made in a reasonable amount of time. Always make extra and put in freezer bags in the freezer. There is always ice waiting when arriving at the lake.

Recently bought a new Insignia bottom freezer refrigerator without an ice maker. Purchased this portable ice machine to give me an endless supply of ice. Within a few hours had a gallon bag full of ice to be stored in freezer. Relatively quiet. Super quick. Set it and go about your business. Like the removable bin to aid in bagging the ice and the drain hole which helps remove the excess water. Two cons - Small ice cube setting makes too small cubes in my opinion and the anppliance is heavy. All in all, a very functional and easy to use ice maker.

Much quieter than my last ice maker and the ice comes out very good.

This is a difficult review to right. Why? Because this stand alone icemaker does its job adequately, but your situation is important to the decision to buy one.
If you have no access to a regular freezer with an icemaker and cannot add one into it, this is way better than having no ice maker at all. On the other hand, this price point will pay for enough store bought ice to build a snow man, his family, and some nose carrots too!
It's a wonderfully engineered machine that makes a few handfuls an hour in smaller or larger size. Then you must put them into cold storage or a bucket in the freezer, right? The created cubes for me turned out wet so that when you put them in the freezer, they stuck together forming a giant cluster around my ice ladle. Nothing that a small hammer can't fix!
Know at a built-in icemaker creates dry cubes that don't stick because the cubes never see room temperature. So, I think the design here could be better. The condenser probably uses a lot of electricity too.
In short, not what I had hoped, so I'm having the manufacturers icemaker added to my freezer this week and this one will go back. Fun technology experiment though!
