The ice machine produces nice thick ice in about 5-6 min., it’s efficient and pretty quiet. When our old ice machine died as well as our automatic one on freezer, my wife was buying ice from store . She claims she did not want a new machine. I shopped and compared a lot of ice machines. I am glad I chose this one! My wife loves it and the ice!

Bought this in June because the icemaker I had was working erratically. I’d had it for over a year and I am a heavy ice user so wasn’t that upset. I would have bought another one but no longer found on Amazon. I just started using this Montmart unit about 3 months ago. It was fine. Today it stopped making ice and continues to show it needs the water refilled (and it is filled to the max line). There is no sound that the compressor is working like it was. So am ordering another ice maker—different brand of course. And much cheaper!! I don’t think the ratings even matter. They’ve all been rated almost 5. I went back and read the reviews on this one and it appears to last til the warranty on it has expired. I didn’t read far enough when I ordered it the first time. I wouldn’t recommend this one. There are cheaper and hopefully better ones out there.

I have an old refrigerator the ice maker was never hooked up. I can’t justify paying a plumber because as soon as I do, I know the unit will break down. So, I’ve had my eye on a countertop ice makers, but they are very expensive. I came across this model, and thought I would give it a try. I’m very impressed. The unit comes put together, but also has instructions. It includes an extra drain plug and a small ice scoop. To get started, I plugged it in, poured water in the reservoir, and hit ‘work’. One pour to the “max line” fills the tray twice. If you don’t empty the tray, it automatically stops. When you empty the tray, it automatically restarts. One tray of ice almost fills a 30-ounce Yeti or Stanley cup. Ice is produced very quickly and quietly, but there is a “white noise,” effect. The unit is relatively narrow, but has some depth. You’ll need a little bit of counter space. I put mine beside my refrigerator. I hate fooling around ice trays and they take up a lot of space in freezer. I’m super pleased with my purchase and think you’ll be too.

Works quick and fast.

For the price, this does what I need really well. My ice maker broke in my refrigerator and instead of fixing it, I started making ice in the old fashioned way—in ice trays. That works well enough until you have one or two people using a lot of ice. I find that this ice maker makes enough ice for those people and it makes it quickly throughout the day. If you need an ice maker for a lot of people, this isn’t it. But if you just need it for one or two people using a lot of ice or 3 or 4 people using a bit of ice, this machine will work for you

This unit has the small footprint I was looking for. It doesn't make large amounts at a time but it does produce ice quickly sufficient for my needs in my RV. I have not taken it out of the house so I can't speak to the sound level at this time except to say, indoors it seems rather quiet.

This was a gift to my daughter. It would not work. She followed the instructions but it would not make ice. We had to return it. Beware

I love it. It makes pretty fast and I don't have to wait to go to work to get ice. Are go to the store
