Wonderfully soft crunching ice
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very soft ice!!! Wonderful if you like chewing ice, just don’t tell my dentist! Ha! This is the second one I purchased and it is going to my dad for Christmas. He liked the ice more than any other “soft” ice he has ever tried (and he chews a lot of ice). It also makes ice super fast. I purchased both of them on sale and added in the 4 year protection plan. It’s a breeze to make ice in it. I also use my filtered refrigerator water in it.

Great for apartments!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ice machine is a little beast. I don’t have a dishwasher or ice maker in my apartment, so this purchase was a must. It makes ice relatively fast, and it’s solid enough to not immediately disintegrate in my drink. My only complaint is that I have to drain any old water before each use, or else it will taste like the plastic in the machine. Overall, great purchase and it doesn’t take up too much space on the counter.

I don't normally do reviews! This compells me.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our ice maker broke at the start of the pandemic. We can't have potential covid people in our house for repairs. While small, this thing has outpaced our ice needs by a longshot. We had to turn it off because we ran out of space to store the ice in less than 2 days or really about 16 hours of running time. It doesn't keep the ice frozen so you have to transfer it to a freezer But it is relentless.

They need to offer more complete cleaning solutio.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this counter top ice maker. It makes a ton of ice and takes up a little. My issue with the machine is that it gets dirty fast due to cold water mold. The water basket is easy enough to clean, however the basket that the ice cubes drop into before filling the regular basket is almost impossible to reach to clean. You can’t simply take a few panels off the to reach the interior backet to clean and I haven’t found any solutions. I’m going to give it a few more try’s at cleaning before I make my final decision.

Excellent value and very efficient.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an excellent buy at the price. The ice is in two sizes. Neither too small or too large. A bit noisy but not out of bounds noisy. You have to empty it fairly quickly or melt sets in. It does make a batch fairly quickly and is efficient. It does not take up too much room. Easy set up and cleaning.

Small But Mighty!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great asset to any party. We like to host parties, which means lots of drinks. This little ice maker is up to any task. Ice is made super quick and ice size is perfect. It takes up very little room on our bar and is extremely quiet. From drinks to ice snacks for four dogs this ice maker never dissapoints.

Better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use at the Burningman festival in the Nevada desert. Out there I only have solar panels with 2 100 amp batteries driving a 2000 watt pure sign wave inverter. I tested this ice maker at home and it produced ice every few minutes. When I got to the Playa the temp inside my trailer was 95 degrees and I figured this unit wouldn’t work well. To my surprise it worked every well. I poured a half gallon of water in it and let it do its thing for a few hours. When I checked back on it there was a full hopper of ice. I emptied it into ziplock bags and let it run. I ended up with four ziplock bags of ice. Enough to fill up my rv refrigerator. It’s a great little device.

Very happy with the purchase
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We like it, it makes enough ice for the four of us without constantly running it. We use a lot of ice for ice coffee and other drinks all day long. It's easy to set it up, just make sure you remove all the tapes inside, We use our Zero Water pitcher to fill it up with filtered water. Once it's filled up it makes 2.5 basket ice in about 1 hour 10 minutes. Once the basket is full we transfer it to our freezer. The ice cubes will freeze together. Because of this after about 3 minutes we take the ice cubes out of the freezer and break them up. At this time it's still easy to break them up. Once we put them back in the freezer they stay separated. We used to buy three bags of ice in a week so this is a money saver for us and we know that the filtered water we use is high quality. I also purchased the 2 year warranty for $10.

A nice little reasonably priced ice maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on a decent sale, after looking around at different options for ice machines, and went with this one because of the reviews and the reasonable price. This really does make ice quickly with very minimal effort. You fill the unit with water, and it makes about 9 cubes in just under 10 minutes. One thing that it lacks is the ability to keep the ice cold; you'll need to transfer it to the freezer to keep it ice cold, but it does recycle any water that melts and reuses it to make more ice. The buttons on the unit are easy to use understand and overall the unit does not take up a lot of space in my smaller space. I have it conveniently located on top of my bottom loading water dispenser, ready to go at all points in time. I made a bunch of ice when I first got it (it does have that classic factory plastic smell, so cleaning it out with vinegar and using the machine with just plain tap water several times helped clear out the smell), and when I need to make more as needed, it starts right up like when I first plugged it in.

Wasn't for me.. too noisy.. too much work
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very noisy especially in a small area. Scared the crap out of the dog all night, runs constantly. Was pretty shocked that when the first ice dumped it was exactly 9 cubes, was set on Large but they were pretty small. I noticed the cubes were bullet shaped with a hole in the middle, they were getting a little larger as the night went on. I let it run for a couple of hours. Ice immediately starts to melt as soon as it dumps in the basket (9 bullets at a time). I tried removing it as soon as it fell and it was already wet and melting. I let it fill a whole basket and then dumped it in my bin in my freezer, but later had to bust it apart as it had formed together in the freezer since it went in wet. I drained it that night and boxed it back up the next morning and took it back. I had noticed many reviews of the mold that accumulates up in the ice forming part, which is disgusting. I filled my ice bin and it did last longer the next day then my big ice cubes that I go thru from regular ice trays. But I still returned the ice maker bc of the mold, noise, and it just didn't do what I thought it would for making ice. Disappointing it starts melting right away. Just seemed like too much work. Took it back and bought me 2 more plastic $2 ice trays. Back to filling those instead. :| Much quieter and cheaper. And dog is happier. :) A friend bought the igloo version and said hers was great.

Great Counter Top Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for one for a long time and honestly got overwhelmed by the many different ones and the reviews were all over the place. So I finally just went for it and chose this one. Couldn’t be happier with it. We needed for our RV for a road trip. It’s the perfect choice for us. So many reviews complained about the amount it makes and the speed. You just have to remember it’s a counter ice maker. I turn it on first think in the morning and by the time I need to fill my glass, it’s full. I leave it on the rest of the day (if we are not moving), and I have ice all day when I need it as long as I add water. If we are traveling, I leave on until I’m ready to go to bed and put all it’s made in a bag in the freezer for the morning. Soooo happy with it and today recommend.
