My ice maker in my Fridge quit working and the endless trips for ice were getting old. I finally broke down and bought this ice maker and it comes in very handy!! Ice, Ice, Wonderful Ice!! It’s making ice all the time. You do have to empty the bin, it stops when it’s full, I just store all my ice in the freezer. There are 2 sized of ice pellet’s S & L. The ice maker is super fast. Literally 5 minutes and the 1st drop of cubes is ready, Just keep the water full, and empty the bin and it will make ice constantly. It stops when full, extremely quiet, I put mine in the nook by the fridge on the floor. Fit great, has plenty of space, and doesn’t take up counter space. After some use you will see sediment form in the bottom and it will need to be be cleaned. Do NOT follow the instructions in the book or you will be returning your broken machine. Drain the water. Use a microfiber cloth with a touch of bleach to clean out any sediment or ick & dirt. Clean all the parts you can reach. Don’t spray water inside or fill up an drain. It will stop working. Also, these only work about a year. I’m on my third. Eventually the components inside just stop cooperating with each other. It will cycle but it will not draw up water to make ice. You will know it’s about to go out when the ‘full’ light starts coming on when the machine is empty. Some tricks to keep pit going a little longer are to unplug it for an hour or so, and closer to the very end, you may have to lightly kick it it to get it to realize it is actually empty so it will make ice. Not long after this stage, it will die. It is still very Easy to set up, Easy to Use, and I highly recommend for a 1 year machine‼️

It is working perfectly and makes all the ice that we need. It is a little noisier than our last one but still not that loud.

I didn't know this didn't have the ability to actually "store" the ice, so once it's made, it must be either used, or put into a bag (which they supply) and put in a freezer. If this was actually stated in the details, I would not have bought it. ( I may have missed that tidbit) However, having said that, I did use it once, realized it didn't keep the ice, so I returned it. It ran really well, and quick. It would be perfect for parties.

I live in a senior retirement community, and the kitchens are very small with very small appliances, including the refrigerator, which has no icemaker and a very small freezer. Ice is difficult to come by. This ice machine makes a reasonable amount of ice and a reasonable amount of time, although the time required to make the first few batches of ice is somewhat lengthy at 8 to 10 minutes. Once the basket starts to fill, however the time for each batch of eight nuggets decreases. This machine is probably too small to make sufficient ice for an entire family, but for one or two people it’s quite adequate. The cost is reasonable for what it does. It operates off of regular household current. This is my third one of these machines in the past four years of the same construction and model, but different brands. The major disadvantage is that they don’t last terribly long. We have extremely hard water, and in spite of draining regularly and running a batch of vinegar water through it every couple of weeks, the first one did eventually plug up. The second one began to leak after about a year. Another resident in this complex who has the same ice machine, said that hers only lasted about eight months, where as mine generally last a little over a year. However, I turn mine off every night and turn it on again in the morning, where as she ran hers 24 hours a day. Her motor burned out, and I think the motor is better protected if the machine is turned off during the hours that it is not necessary to use. Given the cost of the machine, which has been reasonably stable over the past four years, it is worthwhile to me to replace it every year or year and a half.

our ice maker on our fridge never gave us enough ice. Frustrated about spending $2500.00 on a new refrigerator I bought the Vivo.. Makes Ice like crazy. Aside from being a little noisy, its the best

Very impressive - cleaned it upon receiving it and plugged it in. Added water and just as promised, I had ice cubes in very little time. I like the larger cubes which take a bit longer - but not by much. It filled the tray and we had plenty of ice for our drinks. Really handy - we put it in our motorhome.

Play Video Update: you just have to make ahead of time and transfer ice to a bin in freezer if you need to serve multiple people at once. It will not make ice fast enough to replenish drinks without having made ice ahead of time. It takes a while to fill the little basket that is included. But! It works well. Glad I kept and gave it another shot.

I like the fact that it’s easy to use, makes ice quickly and has been a hit with friends and neighbors. The only thing I don’t like about it is it’s a bit noisy. I’m thinking of moving it to my pantry so I can close the door and cut down on the noise. It would be a little less convenient but that’s ok.

First at all machines working fine , but after few week it was terrible , ice got really strong smell of plastic and taste so bad , i read all one stars review have same problem , not recommended at all

This machine is user friendly works very well . None of the hassles that sometimes come with a fridge icecube maker.

I got this to stock ice for ice baths. I received it at 11 am and already have 16 lbs ready for tomorrow. Very impressed.

Got the product read the instructions and there is no self cleaning function on this ice maker which was the whole reason for buying it. It's two stars because it is a decent ice maker just false advertising.

Very nice unit. Ice in less than 5 minutes. We use at the lake and keep it outside and only turn off at night. Fill the reservoir and forget it. Great ice maker. Highly recommend
