If you don't have an ice maker, this is a must have for the price. Makes ice fast and consistently. As the ice melts, it recycles. The machine will hold on making ice once the sensor is covered. It's not very loud and a good size for the counter. Remember, It's an ice maker not and ice box. It will not hold ice for days like a freeze as it's not designed to do that. We will put ice in freeze after it makes it and they are easy to break up with light taps.

I purchased this ice machine because we have needed one now for a bit as I really don't appreciate buying bagged ice when my Fridge ice maker can't keep up with our demand. Here in this house we are all ice lovers all year round no matter what the temp is outside. So to just have a backup I purchased this after reading the reviews of course. It's definitely smaller then I thought BUT size has nothing to do with this mighty ice making machine. Wow. I am so impressed with how much this little thing puts out right away. It's a awesome ice machine and that's no lie. The water compartment is small but that's not a deal breaker because filling it is no problem. Mine has a slight squeak and I am just thinking it may be because it's new so no drama here. Take the time to appreciate the smaller things in life because this machine certainly does not put out ice like its small. Give it a try.

Not a bad ice maker. This is my first one but I have used someone else's before so at least have something to compare to. I gave it 4 stars because it works, works fast, and overall is effective for my needs. The cons are just inconveniences. Cons: 1. The biggest one for me is the lack of alert when the water is low or the ice is full. You have to babysit these things anyway, as they are NOT freezers and your ice will just melt if you don't regularly transfer it to the freezer, but I get busy and have let my ice melt and refreeze a few times LOL. 2. Once it says low water, you can refill it but it will never restart on its own. Only way to get it to go again is to turn it off and back on. WHY? IDK maybe mine is defective. 3. The first couple batches of ice are always small and about half the count. I am not even sure how this happens as I know how the unit works. Mystery. 4. It can be pretty loud during some of its phases. Pros: 1. It does crank out the ice pretty fast. Beats buying ice at the store. I always make 10lbs or so then store the unit in my pantry to keep it off the counter. 2. It is easy to clean 3. I think it's about as small as they get. Which is not small, but it fits on my shelf fin the pantry

I've been running this 24/7 for a few months now and so far have not had any issue. It always has ice ready, plenty for about 1-2 glasses which for a single person is plenty enough. You do have to fill it up with water occasionally, but it's easy as just pouring a couple glasses of water over the ice. I was worried that it might run out of water when I need ice the most and not have any ice, but it's not really a problem because you can tell when it's low on water not only because it has an indicator light to tell you, but even prior to the indicator light turning on the ice will look different. You see, the ice compartment and the water compartment are the same. At first that seems weird because wouldn't the ice melt if it's in the same compartment as standing water? It does, and it gradually melts into the bottom part of the compartment and when it fills up enough with water the machine just remakes the ice, so it is constantly working. That means you can tell when it is getting low on water because it will only have sufficient water to produce ice once enough of it has melted, so you will always find your ice partially melted rather than fully formed when you check the ice maker. When you see the ice all looks smaller than usual you know the machine is low on water and you can add water prior to the indicator light coming on. Thus, you never run into the problem of coming to the machine and finding there is no ice at all. My only complaint so far is that because the ice is technically always melting, it causes the ice to stick together. I stopped using the scooper that comes with it because very often the ice is clumped and I need to basically grab the clump with my hand and smash it down to break it apart. It's not a huge deal because it's fairly easy to do, but it is a bit annoying. Keep in mind the fact it is constantly working means you will hear it make noises even when you're asleep. It's not particularly loud, it is just every few hours you will hear the noise of the newly produced ice being dumped into the water/ice compartment. I don't really care about this too much but I mention it in case this might bother other people. Personally, I like the machine a lot, and the only thing that will make me consider coming back and lowering my score is if it stops working sometime soon. I have not even been using this for a full year yet. If it does not last a year that would drastically impact my score. If it lasts at least 5 years I will not change my review at all.

Love love love this ice maker.so this is my 3rd one. What i love it's almost silent. It makes larger cubes. It's really fast. The instructions are very direct about how to.clean it and how often. No other ice maker instructions ever explained that. The price was good also. Only drawback I've found is when u scoop thr ice the basket slides up a bit and can block the censor making it think the ice is full. I've only been using this a wk but if it lasts longer then 6 month this will be my forever brand.

Makes a bit of ice, but seems dispenser doesn’t deposit the ice far enough into the cage, as the eye thinks its full and stops making ice when its only half full. Would have given it at least 3 stars but sadly, it has passed away after 2 years use

I jut brought it and dose not making ice even once only water coming out as they said I try to put cold water but doesn’t working
