I was hesitant to buy this ice maker machine but I’m very glad I made this purchase. We’ve used this everyday for around three months now and it’s so convenient. The noise level is manageable and a whole lot quieter and much less annoying than when getting ice from our refrigerator, which we don’t even use anymore. I fill it each morning, and sometimes once more later that day, with cold purified bottled water and the ice tastes great. We really like the small size cubes which are soft enough to chew on, which was the main reason to get this. The automatic shut off is also a great feature if it gets too full of ice and also the red light goes on if you need to put more water in it. Other than rinsing it out with water every couple of weeks we haven’t had to do anything else so far to clean it and the ice still turns out great. Recommend.

We liked the ice it was producing, but really expected it to last longer. Based on other reviews, I guess we were lucky it lasted this long. It started making a horrible high pitched grinding gear noise that was intolerable. Anyway we turned it off and into the garbage bin it goes. It’s CRAP! The seller offered to replace the ice machine after seeing this review. The replacement was delivered promptly and has been working perfectly. You don’t see this type of customer service anymore. Very impressive. Hope the little machine keeps putting out ice.

I bought this ice machine, not knowing what to expect. Our ice maker on our fridge went out. So I was buying sonic ice. But I had seen these that make crushed ice. And thought I would like to try one. But they were very expensive. But then I seen this one with $50.00 off and decided to try it. It's great. It will pay for it's self in a few months, of not buying ice from sonic.it makes a good amount of ice each day. And it only took about 5 mins to start making ice the 1st time. It has a signal that lets you know when to add water and when its full of ice.It's very easy to operate and it makes good ice. It's a bit noisy sometimes. But nothing to loud. It fits on top of my counter perfectly. It's a good little machine and worth the money. And I don't give a lot of good reviews. Thumbs up! Updated 01/19/25 my ice machine went completely out. I cleaned it again thinking this would fix it. But it did not. So in the pamphlet that came with the machine, was a phone number. I called customer service and the things I had to do. 1st take a video of it after showing the time. 2nd plug it in and 24 mins later take more video of the machine, had to video the front of machine then show the water inside the machine, then put my hand by the fan on the side of it and say if it was blowing hot cold or no air. Then video the back of machine. So I did everything I was ask to do. The next day I got a text asking me for the order # again. I sent a text back with the # but I ask how long the process took to receive a new unit ? I was told 3 to 4 business days to go over my warranty options and then they will let me know something. I jump through hoops to get all this info to them. And I still don't know if they are going to replace the machine . I have not even had this machine for a year. So I'm not so sure about this being a great deal after all.

Machine produces soft chewable ice as advertised. Machine is compact and fits on counter nicely. Has a pleasant appearance. It is easy to use and the making of ice is fairly self explanatory. Basically fill reservoir with water and push the button. While the following is not a deal breaker for me there may be a couple of things to consider before buying. 1. While it does have a self cleaning mode it may not be as easy as implied. Yes it will cycle thru cleansing water at the push of a button but the cleaning process doesn’t end there. The manufacturer does claim the machine portable it still is over 20 pounds. For elderly people or people with mobility issues such as arthritis this may pose an issue. I mention this because the second step in the cleaning process requires you to move the machine to a sink or to the edge of the counter to place a vessel underneath to drain the water. This also requires you locate and remove the drain plug under the machine. You halve to do this by feel since you can’t just turn the machine over to see what your doing. Again if you have arthritis or are elderly this may not be easy as it sounds. Replacing the plug can also be cumbersome and create a leak if not done properly. 2. Yes you start getting ice relatively quickly in 10 mins or so but not enough to write home about. It takes 20-30 mins to get enough ice to make a cold drink. 3. If you fill the reservoir to the max line it takes around 90 mins to run out of water. Ironically a full reservoir of water does not produce enough ice to fill the ice bucket. 3. The machine does have an indicator to tell you when the ice is full but why do you need it if the machine requires you to refill the water before then? Why not empty the bucket when you refill the machine with water? As far as durability only time will tell.

We are learning the best way to use this great little machine. It makes the best little nuggets at a good rate of speed. We just drain the excess water from the ice bin and dump into our freezer ice bin and enjoy it. And it is not loud, at least not in our house. Just a hum, so far.

This ice maker is amazing! Got it for my GF for Christmas and it’s been an absolute great addition for the kitchen

Great little ice maker. It makes the Nugget style Ice extremely fast. Purchased six months ago and has become a big hit with family and friends that have used it. Started having an issue about two weeks ago with an abnormal noise while in ice making mode. I called Customer Service and they immediately found a solution for my issues. Customer Service Technician was very knowledgeable and met all my expectations. Thanks Tamara for the great experience.
