Small ice maker machine
Have been wanting ice maker for years. We found one, it’s compact size, fits in our small space kitchen. It works nicely as expected. We enjoy our cool drink one more level up. We hope to enjoy cool drink for many years to come. Well made machine. Nothing dislike about it.

Wonderful ice machines…when they are working!
We purchased 2 identical ice machines bcuz our family uses a lot of ice. Purchased 1 on 12/2021 ($134.07) and another 3/2022 ($118.22). Not a huge purchase but not a small one either. I’ve maintained them properly, according to manufacturer’s directions. The first one only lasted 8 months. It makes one set of ice and then indicates that it needs water, but it has proper level of water. Tried everything with no success. The second machine still works, but wondering for how much longer. I would have never purchased them, had I of known that they wouldn’t last even a year!! Very disappointing! 😔

Handy to have for company
We followed the directions, throwing out the first three? batches of ice. The icemaker picked up speed after that. The only very slight negative is, due to their shape, the cubes seem to melt faster than the ones from our fridge fridge freezer.

I’d buy again
This is a nice ice maker. It works well.I only have one problem with it and that is that the cubes stick together really badly when thrown in the freezer.

Great item
My husband loves it…easy to use…..makes a lot of ice in a small amount of time.

Great!! Too bad I didn’t get this sooner.
Very easy to use , makes ice in no time but the bottom of the ice is wet and clumps up in the freezer; however, it separates easily .

Great for a Prime Day Deal
Four stars for the review because the ice, no matter what size you use, seems to melt pretty quick.

My new favorite kitchen gadget
I LOVE this thing! Let me start by saying that I’ve never been a fan of icemakers in refrigerators… I always think that the lines are probably gross, or moldy, so I hate using them. This little piece of magic takes out all the guesswork. I fill it each time I want to use it, if I don’t make ice for a few days, I just pull the little stopper and drain out all the excess water and leave it to dry. Not to mention that you can turn it on when you first get up, and by the time the kids are ready to head out the door you have enough ice to fill their water bottles. And the cubes are small enough that they fit any bottle you may have. I always use the small cube setting just because I think they’re adorable. Can ice cubes be adorable? Well, they are.

Stopped working after 15 months of casual use.
I gave this a nice review last year. However, here is the update the unit stopped working as of 2 days ago. I cleaned it thoroughly as normal, the red light indicated it needed water and there was water inside of the unit. I switched outlets thinking maybe this would correct the situation which it never did. I reached out to the company they have several websites or email addresses for you to contact them if it’s still under warranty or technical support, which it was not, but how can something that’s not even 2 years old just stop working. I want to believe that because of my extensive history of purchases through Amazon I was able to resolve the issue past Amazon’s 30-day policy. Most importantly, this was not a unit that was used on a daily basis only when we had guest (grandchildren) or special events were more ice was needed. Needless to say, on the day that I have a big event we have to purchase bags of ice. I hope this helps someone!

Worth the money!! Worth the purchase!! Makes ice on less than 20 minutes and really quiet. Love this!!

Wonderful & noisy
I love this ice maker, but it’s very noisy. It’s incredibly convenient to have ice made so quickly. Within minutes of filling it & turning it on I have ice.It does it very noisily though. I’m using it in a travel trailer & I have to shut it off sometimes just to have some quiet. I still am so glad I got though, worth every penny

Great ice maker
Both my husband and I was very surprised at how fast the machine makes ice. The first set of ice cubes were done in about 10 minutes and they were a bit on the smaller side. As more ice was made, the cubes did get bigger. It tells you when it is out of water or when the ice tray is full. We have not gotten a chance to try it in our car for trips which was one of the reasons we purchased it. Plan on trying it soon.
Rob in the PNW –
Fast ice, great cube shape, solid unit.
So far, we’ve used this little guy in place of our main ice maker. We like the cubes better and we’re a 3 person adult household. This is the first standalone icemaker I’ve owned and it is holding up well. We like the ice size choices and the shape has maximum cooling surface area… In other words, holes in the cubes. It’s fun to toss in some water and let it run a full basket in about an hour. I’ve heard some people suggest making exotic ice cubes like fruit juice…I haven’t tried it yet. The only improvement I could suggest is to make it easier to empty for storage.

Makes ice quickly
This is a great little ice maker. It cranks out ice very quickly. Has auto shut off and a decent size reservoir. My only complaint is as it cycles through making ice certain stages are rather noisy. Not blender noisy, but fan noise, ice dropping into bucket and small motor whirring type noise. I turn it off when watching TV or sleeping (small apartment). I’m not sure how that compares to other models. But I would buy this again. It does it’s job and I generally like it.

Portable ice maker
Very easy to setup and use. Had ice very quickly even with large ice cubes selected. Might be nice to have a little bigger basket for the ice but produced ice so quickly that works fine with us. We have taken the cubes at times and placed in a storage bags to go into the freezer to store ice if needed.

Best appliance add-on purchase we have made
So fast at making ice. Love the different sizes. It is a touch loud but totally worth it. I do not like that there isn’t a self cleaning option. Absolutely have to wash it once a month otherwise it grows mold. Made the mistake of waiting two months and developed a bacterial infection on my tongue. As Long as you clean it, it is a fantastic piece of machinery

Works great
Don’t let the price fool you and I was thinking every 13 minutes it tells you maybe eight ice cubes…this little machine makes so much ice that I could keep my ice chest full without going to buy bags of ice throughout the day and still had enough to make cocktails in the evening and it’s small enough where it fits in my RV perfectly because that’s where it is great great product highly recommend

It’s…okay….
When I first read the reviews before I bought this, I thought everyone’s comments about the ice melting too fast was ridiculous. “It ApPaReNtLy MaKeS IcE fAsT eNoUgH duuurrr PuT iT iN tHe FrEeZeR wHeN iT’s DoNe duuurrr” – Me, prepurchase of this product.It takes a while to make a fair amount of ice, maybe for a party but it DOES melt rather quickly. You’d have to immediately transfer it to a freezer, which is unproductive for a party. I only wanted it to make a batch of ice and I just save it in the freezer when I needed it for drinks I wanted cold immediately. The moment I put that ice in room temperature soda, it quickly melts. I’d have to put a lot of ice in it to get it to chill, by then the drink is…cold enough but the ice is all melted.Now I understand everyone’s complaints with this and I apologize.Overall though, it gets it done if you have plenty of time to spare. I have it at 3 stars because it wasn’t as noisy as I was expecting.

Works very well, these ice makers work well for about a year and a half.
I’ve had different brands since I have found I can’t live without one! They last about a year and a half.

Works until you clean it
It worked fine but got a little mildew over time. When I cleaned it, it didn’t make ice anymore. Nothing would fix it. It said ice full when empty. So it worked for a year only.

Works great but bit watery
Ice machine works great but the machine isn’t cold enough so the ice cubes are always partially melted. Not like crazy, but they are all wet so if you try to store in bag and put in freezer they will all freeze together and combine which is annoying. It could be all machines are like this though since they are not freezers and won’t stay cold in the machine. I try to empty it as soon as it’s made to avoid this problem but even so it’s all wet not like ice in freezer that is completely dry when you remove it from the freezer.

absolutely wonderful product is!
At first I was frustrated because I couldn’t get the ice to choose little or big but I wasn’t doing it correctly all I can say is this is the best thing I’ve bought lately, ice makes really well the first day I bagged two bags of ice and ice tray bin full I am so impressed

Worked well, but only for a year
Product worked really well but broke after 1 year of use.
Gaven Hollingsworth –
Very convenient and the ice is perfect!!
This ice making can have a full tray of ice in as soon as 45 minutes! It’s not very loud at all. I didn’t know this before I bought it, but you can leave it on and it automatically stops when the ice is full or it is out of water which helps a lot (with not having to turn it on and off every time you need ice) and continues when you take ice out or pore water back in. I’m so glad that the ice maker isn’t big because I thought it was going to take up the majority of my counter space.The ice does tend to melt fairly quick, but drinks are still nice and cold for a while! Reliable, affordable, and exactly what your looking for if you don’t have a fridge with an ice maker! The maroon color is also WAY better in person!

So easy to use
This is a very good ice machine, the freezer of my refrigerator doesn’t freeze well, this thing pumps out all the ice you will need very quickly. It is very easy to use and maintain, not to mention the red color is beautiful.

Only lasted 8 months
This product was amazing while it worked! It only lasted 8 months before it stopped working completely. Really upsetting when you spend that kind of money!

I e Maker
This ice maker has come in real handy. When the one in refrigerator quit working we started using ice trays which are a pain and take up room. This little machine works fast to make your ice.
Dawn –
I wouldn’t but it again.
It makes hollow ice and it melts very quickky. I’ll use it in my RV where there’s no ice maker at all,but for home it’s a no from me.
Katrina Smith –
So glad I got it!!!
I was so reluctant to pay $300- $500 for an ice maker and I’m so glad I didn’t!!! This one is perfect!! The first few cubes are not the soft chewy ones, but all yhe rest of them are perfect for chewing…and smoothies! It makes plenty of ice and I just LOVE this thing!!! Go get it!!

Incredible
I waited 1 year to write a review of this product to gage it’s durability and dependability. The product is awesome. I have custody of 4 grandkids and our refrigerator ice maker could not produce enough ice to fill water battles everyday for school and soccer seasons. I purchased this icemaker and have not been disappointed. It’s been a dependable workhorse. I make 6-12 gallon freezer bags of ice per week. The product has been exceptional over the year of use. Great dependable durable buy.

Wow!!!! This Ice Maker is awesome!! I used it today for the first time since purchasing it. I’m very impressed to say the least, over the last few hours I filled a Gal. size freezer bag with the large size ( which is not very large} ice. This machine is so quiet, all I heard was the ice being put into the basket. No more ice trays for me, I am hoping that it will continue to work this well, if not I will write another review.

Bullet Ice

This is my favorite purchase this year. It makes about 10 cubes every 5 minutes. I just keep it half filled with water and keep a full basket. This machine stops automatically when the basket is full. The basket places easily and is cut perfectly to fit inside one way so it’s basically fool proof easy operation. This machine is a great value.

Does what it’s supposed to do and does it well enough!
I’ve been using this for a month and a half now and I bought it primarily for my ice-dyeing hobby/obsession so I wouldn’t have to keep running to the store for bags of ice, which I don’t have the capacity to store and keep frozen anyway. My secondary reason was for use to cool beverages as my fridge does not have an ice-maker.So… I waited this long to review it because, frankly, I didn’t really trust it to not have any issues. But, so far, it has performed very well and gets the job done, and I don’t have one single complaint about it! 🙂 You can choose large or small “cubes”, but I have never tried the large, only the small. It produces (my best guess here) about a half a pound, or slightly more, of small ice “bullets” per hour. The ONLY thing I think could be better about it is (and this is the only reason I gave it a 4 star overall rating instead of 5): there is no clear fill line or marking to know how much water to pour into it. There’s only kind of an indentation or change in angle in the white plastic of the interior that I think is supposed to indicate that’s where you fill it to. So that’s what I’ve been doing, and so far it’s worked out fine. And there’s a light indicator for when it runs low on water anyway, so I don’t have to guess about that. So, I recommend this product!!Update: I bought that on June 21, 2021 and used it most (but not every) days thereafter, for 6 to 10 hours a day. It died on April 1, 2023. I worked it fairly hard for a little less than two years, but a longer life sure would have been nice. I’m sticking with 4 stars though, because it worked so well for all that time.

Love this little ice machine!
I bought this machine about a month ago and have been very happy with it. The ice is “soft”, makes in two sizes, makes quickly. Would buy it again!!
Kimberly Chapman –
Love this machine!
This machine makes ice! I was a bit nervous after reviews complained about it not keeping the ice cold, but if you have it on, when the ice melts, it goes directly into the bin that you pour water into. This machine just recycles the melted water back to ice. I accidentally left it on for two days over the weekend and I came in on Monday to a half bin of ice! I have trouble understanding how to turn it completely off without unplugging it, so I unplug after each use. I like the shape of the ice, but it does melt faster than solid cubes (but is also made much faster as well). I am very pleased with my purchase and would purchase again!

I was totally shocked at the quickness of the ice production. 10-15 minutes between cycles. I would highly recommend this unit for summer cocktails.
