I’ve never had another countertop ice maker to compare to, so take this into consideration. I feel like it’s a good quality for the price so far (had since Christmas 2024), but the fan is loud and is on anytime the machine is making ice. I’m always relieved when it shuts off when I’m in the room.

Our ice maker in our refrigerator stopped working. We got one of these to keep up with the ice consumption of our family of 4. It keeps up with no problems. So your self a favor and get some cleaning tabs and use them regularly. We use filtered water from our refrigerator and that helps keep the machine clean and ice tasting great. Makes pellet ice, what my daughters call hospital ice. Love it!

This ice maker is very loud and very slow at making ice however the pellet ice is good and soft. Easy to use and looks pretty good

If you’re looking for a compact, nugget ice maker for one, that could easily fit alongside your child’s Easy Bake Oven in the families playroom, I think you’ve found the perfect small appliance.This ice maker requires lots of attention for a small amount of ice making. Requires awkward cleanings, where as you have the ice maker positioned at the edge of a sink, you must reach under the machine, and fumble around feeling for a drain plug, which isn’t hard to find and feel for when removing it, but replacing it is a different story. Which of course you must do 3 times in succession after you’ve run the first cleaning with a teaspoon of bleach, and two more run throughs with clean water.Quite frankly, this little gem is made for a single person, unless you want to babysit it four literally hours, bagging up small amounts of ice through a 24 hour period, adding and adding more water as you go, and placing the haul in your freezer.The main issue I have with this unit, is the positioning of how the ice falls out of the unit into the basket. The new ice seems to stack up like a small water fall that has frozen in the mountains, which is beautiful to see in nature, yet really annoying in this case, because it backs up constantly, turning the ice making mechanism off, because it thinks the basket is full, and that couldn’t be further from the truth.This predicament requires the human who purchased this machine to every 20 to 30 minutes or so, to open the lid, and using the plastic scoop, move the ice around, to get the machine to turn back on, and continue making more ice. (Excuse me for a moment, while I go and do that right now).(I’m back)! If you have all day and are diligent, you’ll have a full basket of ice, if you leave and half to work, you will come home to maybe a half basket, or less. Because that mountain freezing waterfall I mentioned, will freeze and melt, freeze and melt all day long.Look, I’ve owned a few of these types of ice makers over the years, generally they work real well for about two years, and that’s if you maintain them well, regular cleanings, only using distilled water for making ice and for all cleanings, which is the water that creates the least calcium build up. But for around $200 bucks, they aren’t bad for the money.But in this case, cleanings are annoying, because it doesn’t have the back drain tubing which many of the better ones have, and having to constantly be involved in stirring the ice in the basket, to keep the full sensor from being triggered is a pain.It’s not a loud machine, it is a compact machine, actually the smallest I’ve ever come across , but it’s a machine that if you want it to do what it’s designed to do, requires too much involvement from me, the human, I wouldn’t recommend this particular unit.Good luck in choosing what’s best for you.

We have had a GE Opal Ice Maker for 18 months and it finally died after screaming loudly the last several months. I didn’t want to buy another GE so looked around and found this one. It is smaller and less expensive than the GE and does a much better job. After cleaning the machine per the instructions, it was ready to make ice. After less than 30 minutes, we had ice! It is a very quiet machine and makes great nugget ice. The only complaint I have is mentioned in some other reviews - the design causes the machine to think it is full of ice before it actually is. You just scoop it around and more ice will be made. I recommend this ice maker to anyone looking for a nugget ice maker.

Based on reading products reviews, ice makers don't seem to last very long, but three months after purchasing this one I can report that it continues to work just fine daily. We leave it on 24/7 - both to pull ice from the basket and also to fill a container in the freezer - and I haven't noticed a jump in our electric bill. The ice is fine - we were not aware how much we would love the fact that it melts quickly in your drink, cooling it off fast. Be aware that this is a larger unit which has a bigger ice basket, so if you are just pulling ice from the unit, a lot of the ice is just going to sit there unless you are serving up for a party. For filling cube containers in the freezer though, the extra capacity is a definite bonus. We run the cleaning feature 3x with some ice maker cleaner every two weeks but we also only use heavily filtered water in it. No problems with mold or anything yucky. This unit is a bit loud when running with the fans blaring away but that really doesn't bother us. I just hope this continues to last.If you store ice in the freezer from this unit, be aware that the ice will stick together. It very easily separates with a light smack with a hammer, which I put a plastic bag over the head of. After that you can put it back in the freezer and it will stay loose

I was skeptical about buying this unit but it has proved to be a great ice maker. I got it 5 months ago and it is still working well. I followed the directions on the set up to the letter, and the next day the ice started flowing. We ran it at least 8 hours a day for 7 or so days to build up extra ice. It works better than the ice maker in our very expensive refrigerator. Ice is soft, no taste and I can fill the ice maker in the refrigerator and it will dispense just fine. Love the capacity too. I can make enough ice in one day to last a week for 5 ice loving people. Yes there is sound when the ice drops but its not loud, not that I sleep in the kitchen, but it wouldn't keep me up if i did! Yes, the ice melts if you don't bag it up after the basket is full, but it's not a hassle and really, what ice doesn't melt? Great product! Great size. Low noise.
