This ice maker is PERFECT! I had a bigger ice maker that just stopped working so I ordered this one while it was on sale. When I first got this I thought it was a little small but perfect if you don’t have much counter space and I was surprised that it makes the same amount of ice as my old ice machine and better quality ice! 2nd picture shows how much ice is left after filling my 40oz tumbler and my toddlers 16oz tumbler, the ice does melt after a while as other reviews suggest but with how fast it makes ice it’s no problem to pop it on and have fresh ice in minutes. The only thing that I dislike about this machine is that I really don’t see a difference in the size of ice. Ice tastes good and this machine is easy to set up! Definitely satisfied with my purchase.

This has been a nice addition to our small appliances. Makes ice very quickly and has a small footprint on the counter. The fan isn’t quite but also isn’t loud like the fan over the stove. Just loud enough so you know it’s on and you can hear the first ice fall into the basket. The water reservoir is on the small side and is very easy to fill. The basket comes out easily to empty the ice and allows you drain the water off before dumping the ice. The scoop fits perfectly in the basket and the hanger has keep us from losing it. One thing to consider when you’re saving a lot of ice for a party and storing it in the freezer, the ice pellets freeze together & we have to use an ice pick to break it up. Overall we’re very pleased with this purchase.

My spouse loves her ice maker. It’s very easy to set up. It has a self cleaning option. The pellet ice chips are amazing.

Play Video Product: Silonn nugget countertop ice maker, black color. (I included this because I find that some reviews seem to be in other products, not the one you’re viewing.) [Review has photos with 12 inch rulers included showing ice makers size.] I purchased and have been using since June 11, and I love it. Followed all directions including letting it stand 24 hours upright before doing anything as well as doing a cleaning cycle. I read a lot of reviews before deciding on this ice maker compared to others. This one fits my budget, countertop space, and ice making desires. (Some of the larger units are just too big for my countertop!) Several reviews mention it being noisy, but I find it’s no noisier than my fridge and its built-in automatic ice cube maker. (See exception note below.) Also others mentioned how the basket full light will come even though the basket is not, but I just use the scooper to even out the nuggets in the basket and clear the dispensing chute and it will resume. Note, I have the same problem with my fridge’s built-in automatic ice maker if some of the cubes are stacked higher on one side of its bin and blocks the sensor; I have to level out the ice in it too. I use distilled water in the Nugget ice maker to limit mineral build up since the water supply at my house has heavy mineral content. Although it makes ice fairly quickly. Don’t expect this ice maker to meet the needs of a houseful of people, but for 2 folks that use the ice throughout the day, it’s more than enough! I haven’t tried bagging the excess and storing in my freezer as some reviews suggest, and I suspect that would result in one clump of ice all frozen together based on experiences with bagged Sonic ice that I’ve bought in the past. Note: after about a month of operating, it started making a new noise, like a clicking noise that is louder than the fan noise. The machine still makes ice, and I tried thawing the machine, a cleaning cycle, but the new clicking noise seems to be here to stay. I knocked down my rating to a 4 out of 5 because of this otherwise was gonna give it a 5/5. This is a great buy for its capability and price, especially compared to some of the priciest countertop nugget ice makers out there that are $500-$700.

Great personal ice maker, purchased this for a pole barn “cabin” where we only have a mini fridge with a freezer compartment the size of an egg carton, just not as long. Pros: Makes ice fairly quickly. The controls are easy to read and the low water indicator is great so you don’t have to keep checking. Compact, easy to store, nice design. Ice basket comes out, making the scooper just an added item that most probably wouldn’t use, but nice to have in times you would. I have only used the large size ice maker, I would use small if I intended to crush the ice or make a blended beverage. There is a drain plug on the bottom, no need to tip the entire bucket over. Cons: It take up to two cycles for the ice to make the correct size (large). The handle is flimsy and would not depend on using it to carry the machine anywhere. Suggestions: Use filtered or bottle water, not tap. Start making ice about 30 minutes before intending to use, keep the machine going. Use an insult aged ice bucket to keep ice, or place in a freezer or cooler. * The ice maker does not keep the ice, if you want that you will need to pay a much higher price point. Let the maker cycle through at least 2 times to get the expected size cube. When finished making ice, drain well and dry the inside of the ice/water well, to prevent mold/mildew. Keep in mind this is a portable ice maker, not an industrial ice maker. It does the job very well at a decent price point. I would highly recommend.

Love this machine. I use it everyday. It’s easy to clean too.

got this for my dad for christmas, i use it as well. very quality ice maker and it makes ice super fast. no problems with leakage, and the quantity of ice can easily fill up a 40 oz cup to the brim with ice. would highly recommend!

Easy to use, a little on the loud side if your house is silent you can definitely hear it. Almost like a dishwasher sound. Ice is made pretty fast, perfect for 2 people household.
