Whenever I make a purchase I always check the reviews. This machine had some mixed reviews but most were good. I have bought several other nugget ice makers in the past and they did not last. From the time I bought them they made noise or just stopped working within a few months. This little ice maker is the best one so far. It's very compact on my counter and so easy to use. It doesn't keep the ice frozen but as the ice melts it will make more. Sometimes the ice gathers in the middle where it comes out and it triggers the ice full sensor. The ice is soft, easy to chew. Some of the reviews said that it had trouble making ice or it took a long time. I have found it to be the exact opposite. I think it makes ice quickly. If your on the fence about this machine I definitely recommend going for it.

I love the pebble ice maker. I actually bought 2 of them. I keep one on my deck in the summertime and I have one in my kitchen. The pebble ice in my opinion is so much better than the large chunky ice cubes that come from ice cube trays. I like not having ice cube trays taking up space in my freezer. I recommend using the gallon of drinking water you get at the grocery store, to fill. I have well water and used that a couple of times and the minerals and rust particles clogged it up. A good cleaning with vinegar took care of the problem. I contacted customer service and sent them a video of the sound it was making they responded immediately and advised to clean in vinegar. Worked like a charm. It’s does make a sound when running, but it is not too loud. The machine will automatically shut off if the ice begins to back up. As the ice melts it will remake on its own. I also fill a few freezer bags with extra ice to keep in the freezer. I highly recommend this product.

After having three other pellet ice machines fail in 18 months I thought I’d try a different design. So far it’s quiet compared to the others although it’s 1/3 smaller. The ice tray is not insulated so we will see how that works out but it’s making ice quickly and there is more room on the counter than previously. I’ll report back if it breaks down like the others.

This ice maker is an excellent product. It is easy to operate and maintain. It is an efficient maker of nugget ice. It is also easy to maintain. I like the size and style of the product and recommend it highly.

Perfect for an apartment that has a fridge but no ice maker. Creates perfect ice quickly. I leave the machine running all day and night to have ice on hand at anytime of the day. The machine is quiet and well made with a tough stainless steel casing and looks great on the counter top. The ice production has saved me money because it provides me with ice in minutes so when I’m hosting I do not need to buy bags of ice if I place some in the freezer for back up. When the ice hits the beverage the cubes become easy to chew and are soft and pillow like but stronger that that famous ice people love.

I’m a week in and so far I’m happy with the ice maker. The ice is a little smaller than I anticipated. Ice is produced quickly. The hopper never gets full as once the ice fills to the output it shuts down. You have to manually. This is a smaller unit and works for my needs. It probably would not work for larger quantity needs.

Pleasing to the eye for the counter top, quick to start using and makes ice very quickly. Easy to clean and maintain. It will get loud if it gets low on water.

Makes the delicious crunch tiny ice cubes I always seek out. Machine is usually pretty quiet. High capacity. East to clean. My only complaints would be the ice does tend to melt pretty quick due to the size and shape and it struggles to empty into the tray so sometimes it will say “ice full” when it really just needs an assist out of the bottle neck and into the basket.
