Countertop Ice Maker Machine, 26Lbs/Day Fastest 6‑Min Ice | 8 bullet ice in 6min, 2 sizes, energy-saving, portable mini, with handle,basket,scoop. Home/bar/RV/camping/office. Black

I've been using one of these for about 2 months, and so far, I love it. Considering it has an actual refrigeration compressor unit and not a gimmicky Peltier plate or something like that, I wasn't expecting much for such an affordable price, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's built well and does exactly what it claims to do. It really does produce a small batch of ice about every 6 minutes, and as long as you're there to attend to it, I don't doubt that it will make 26 lbs of ice per day as claimed. Pros: - Incredibly cheap ice. It uses about 100W while running, and makes about 1 lb per hour, so that's 10 lbs of ice for 1kWh of electricity. The national average for grid electricity is about 15 cents per kWh. A 10-lb bag of ice for 15 cents is only about 5% of what I pay at my local grocery store. - Small and quiet. Everyone will define "quiet" differently, but I'll just say that it wasn't nearly as loud as I was expecting. It's significantly quieter than my dishwasher, and even in the same small room, doesn't disrupt conversation in the slightest. Only takes up about a square foot of counter space, too, although you'll want to leave some space around the fans on the side so it can cool itself adequately. - Portable. I plan to pack this along regularly in my teardrop trailer. I have 800W of solar panels on the roof, so this won't make a dent in my power usage, and it's free ice anywhere I go. No need to find a gas station or anything - I can just convert sunlight to ice on demand. Pretty cool. Cons: - Since this lives on the countertop and not inside the freezer, it requires somewhat frequent attention. Personally, I don't really mind that at all - I just set an alarm on my phone and check in on it once per hour or so, and usually find a full bin of ice ready to transfer into the freezer - but I would imagine some people would find this annoying. It's inherent to the design, though, so if you want an automatic ice maker, save up and buy an automatic ice maker. - Ice sometimes blocks the "bin full" sensor before the bin is actually full. This pauses the machine until you push the little stragglers into the bin. Just a minor annoyance, nothing more. - The ice it makes is somewhat low-density, and with a relatively high surface area, so it melts a bit faster in a drink than the type you'd usually buy at a grocery store or gas station. If you're particular about that, I'd imagine you've already discovered the large silicone ice cube trays that make huge cubes of ice that melt very slowly. I'd use those if you don't want your drink to get watered-down too quickly.

I bought this ice maker for my dad, who is a charter boat captain, and it completely solved a daily problem for him. He ended up enjoying it so much, I purchased a counter top ice maker for my own house 😆 Before this, he was constantly stopping to buy bags of ice before trips. It was expensive, sometimes unavailable, and honestly, the quality wasn’t always great. Now, he can make his own ice at home or bring this unit with him on the boat — no more last-minute stops or unreliable bagged ice. This machine works fast. It produces a batch of ice (about 6 cubes) in roughly 8 minutes and can make over 25 lbs of ice per day, which is more than enough for his needs. You can choose between two ice sizes, and the cubes have a hollow center. The texture is actually one of the best parts — they’re slightly soft (great if you like chewable ice) but still solid enough to last a long time. In a good insulated tumbler, the ice holds up extremely well. The machine is very easy to operate. Just add water and press start to begin. It’s also compact and easy to place. It stands just under a foot tall, about 9 inches wide, and roughly 10.5 inches deep, so it doesn’t take up much counter space. The handle makes it easy to move around as needed. Cleaning is simple — there’s a self-cleaning function that runs with the press of a button and takes about 30 minutes. Overall, this has been a huge upgrade for convenience, cost savings, and reliability. No more overpriced bags of ice, no weird taste, and no worrying about availability. It’s been a great investment, especially for someone who relies on ice daily. ⭐️I included a video of this ice maker in action, and some photos for reference!

So far so good. Works just as described, nice & quick. Ice is a bit wet when done & sticks together once in my freezer but I just bust it up before using it. I leave it open to dry out good in-between uses & have not had any problems. When going from small to large cubes, you have to let it cycle at least once to get the larger cubes. Not a problem for me though. I also use filtered water and get a quality ice. Makes consistent ice once it gets going.

This ice maker is a work horse!! makes ice quickly and consistently. the ONLY down side, is that there is no refrigeration around the finished ice. so this simply makes ice, it doesn't store and keep cold. so you have to be aware to keep checking it and emptying it often or it can start to melt a little bit. I made 2 10 lb bags of ice within 1 day (as i was doing household chores and was not emptying the ice bin as quickly as I would have liked to-I would get busy and notice the ice bin was full and then empty it). The ONLY reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is simply because it doesnt chill and store the ice that was made. I'd give it a 4.5 star for sure!

Works as described. It's compact and takes little space during use or storing away. Comes with a handle for easy transport. Very convenient. Not very loud. If using in a warm room such as during the summer time I recommend removing each batch of ice cubes as they are made and putting them in the freezer. Otherwise the first few batches melt a good amount by the time the last batch is made. This is a good product which I recommend.

Works perfect. It's not that big so doesn't take up much space. And since i don't need ice all the time i turn it off at night and turn it back on around 15 mins before I know I'm going to want ice. It's not a freezer so the ice doesn't stay stored in it frozen forever but stays for a decent time frame. And yes, you can hear it while it's making the ice but it is by no means so loud it muffles out any other sounds or becomes distracting.

The product meets all of the claims in the advertisement and makes a lot of ice. It is a little noisy about the same as a refrigerator. It makes ice very quickly. A couple of recommendations for anyone having difficulties: when you first get the icemaker, it’s very important that you set it upright and allow it to sit for at least two hours before you actually plug it in. If you don’t do that, your compressor will burn out quickly. I also had an issue after six months of it making ice. I didn’t clean it like recommended and it stopped making ice. I ran 100% distilled vinegar through a cleaning cycle about four or five times and then a clean water cleaning cycle two or three times and that fixed it. It began making ice again. I would recommend the slice maker. It saved us a lot of money buying ice.

This ice maker is perfect for our needs. Specifically, we use it with reverse osmosis filtered water due to my wife’s medical condition. It produces slow but steady bullet shaped cubes. Water must be added manually, and is not much of a problem since you will need to harvest cubes every hour or so. The collection area is not refrigerated and cubs will need to be moved to a freezer for storage. I would not suggest this for high usage, parties, etc. if you have a need for supplemental ice or ice in a location without an ice maker, like a camper, shop, etc will cover your light ice needs. It has been dependable and works well for what it is designed for. I would recommend it, but make sure high volume is not a requirement.

It’s very nice ice and created in no time. The only thing I wish is that it would act as storage for the ice but you have to turn it off once you’re done making ice. It fits well on the counter.

Ideal for smaller spaces. Works great! Love the self cleaning feature
