Very handy countertop ice maker. Our fridge has never produced enough ice for us and this fit the void perfectly. It's small enough to leave on the counter. Very impressed at how fast it made the ice!

Overall I’m pleased with this ice maker because technically it makes ice quickly, but it has one glaring issue that I can’t overlook- once it makes the cubes it does not keep them cold. This means that as soon as the ice cubes are made they start melting. Even the directions suggest putting a fan on the unit to keep it cold. What a joke. Maybe this is a normal for a countertop unit but it basically defeats the purpose. You can immediately put the ice in the freezer but that requires you to be on call and waiting for each batch to drop, and it’s pretty drippy so all the pieces freeze together. That said, I like that the ice is made fairly fast and you can choose a couple different sizes. The large cubes are a very thin bullet shape and the small ones are shorter and thicker. Unfortunately, since it doesn’t keep the ice cold I found the small ones are the only option because the thin ones melt faster. I also wanted to mention that it doesn’t always scoop out all the ice so the arm gets stuck, and it’s quite loud while working.

It’s an ice maker. It makes ice. It doesn’t store the ice. Once it is made, you need to then transfer it into a bagcontainer and put it in the freezer. If you have the ice maker function on your refrigerator, you don’t really need this machine. We don’t have the ice maker function on our refrigerator. This makes bullet ice, not pellet ice. For the price point, beggars can’t be choosers. It makes ice fairly quickly. When you first receive the ice maker, it needs to sit upright for at least 24 hours before use. If you then clean it after, it needs to sit upright for an hour before plugging in.

Very nice ice machine. Packaged very well,easy to operate. Makes ice in a timely manner. Needed one for family gatherings. Always run out of ice. Easy to wipe down and doesn’t take up alit of counter space.
