Portable Ice Maker,Ice Maker Machine for Countertop, Self-Cleaning Function Ice Cube Maker,Make 26 lbs Ice in 24 hrs, 9 Ice Cubes Ready in 8 Minutes,with Ice Scoop and Basket(Black)

Very simple to operate, plug in, pour in water ( sugguest filtered of some kind ) turn on.Light is steady lite when ON, Blinks when OFF. ( I never found that in manual )Cleaning function is very simple, takes less than 5 minutes, dump using plug in bottom and refill.Manual could be better written. Ice cubes come out a bit soft after the heating process to remove the ice cubes from the forms. They firm up in freezer but tend to freeze together, easily broken apart. All Ice makers of this type are going to have same issues. Ice itself is everybit as good as store bought ice.Photos Although unscienefic I did a time test to fill up ice container. I first emptied water and did cleaning on unit.I refilled unit with water and started stopwatch, I show the empty basket, next are the 1st, 2nd, and 4th batches of ice. I forgot to take photo of third, the full light had come on . Photo four shows all the times for the 4 baskets of ice make in 4hours. Some of ice cubes did come out stuck together.The fifth photo is the full ice container in freezer. It wasn't quite empty to start with.Best advise keep filtered water handy, don't overfill unit ( stay about 1/2 inch below Max ) Give right side of unit plenty of room for ventalation, it puts out heat when making ice after a while. Unit is very quiet thoughIt is a very good unit, I am well pleased with the purchase. I would recommend it, it does only make one size ice cube, but the clean feature and bottom drain are very handy. Unit is very heavy, some may not be able to lift it, but draining could be done over edge of counter into a pan using drain.The book and plate on the unit differ on how much electricity it uses ( wattage) I hope to be able to supply and answer to this later. ( I hope to make my own measurements )

I have small spaces and this fits perfectly. I love it. I have seen reviews where people say it has a metallic taste... when you first begin using the unit-you need to make ice until you do not taste that flavor anymore. I also aired mine out. Be patient with it, that taste goes away I promise. Once you’re up and running you can make more ice than you think with this unit. I absolutely love it. Been using it for quite a while. So far, all is great and this is perfect for us. You don’t rear noise with this unit like others I have owned in the past; you only hear a small sound when the ice dumps. It is easy enough to use that a child could work this you literally add water and push a button. It makes ice fast, very clear, and you can leave the ice in the basket until it fills up before you put it in a bag or use it etc. It has a self cleaning mode that is fantastic and a drain plug underneath so you can easily remove water from it. I have recommended this to friends and family. Everyone who has made ice here loves this unit- same amount of ice made from a smaller machine saves counter space. I highly recommended buying this ice maker. Quiet, easy to use, great tasting clear ice, self cleaning, and space saving all in one unit for an amazing price- can’t go wrong there. I also purchased the additional warranty- always get the warranty.

After having the product arrive I followed the instructions provided and aired out the compartment overnight (only needed 2 hours really but I didn't need to use immediately). Once done, set up was easy. I had it up and running in less than 5 minutes.Rating:Set-up: Easy. Air it out, make sure it isn't nearby any external heat sources, plug it in and fill with water.Taste: None (tastes of clean ice)Production: Quick (9 inch-long bullet-style ice shot out in about 8 minutes)Noise Level: Quieter than a standing fanSize: Half as long as a microwave and barely any taller or widerOverall: Better than I expected. Even the first batch of ice created was expected to have some strange taste but it ended up tasting better than ice made from ice trays. Currently drinking some iced coffee using ice from the machine without issue. I see myself using this machine throughout the summer and even longer for cooking.

This is exactly what I was looking for. The ice is the perfect size and softness for munching on and for adding to drinks. It produces a good amount of ice in a short amount of time which was surprising. I wanted something that was extremely simple to use without all the added bells and whistles and that is exactly this ice machine. I have zero complaints and would purchase again. Price and shipping were on point and the machine is a great size for my small counter space. If you’re in this comment section because you’re unsure, just get it already, you’ll be glad you did.

When it gers low or starting off it can be a little slow. Pro tip if like I do have ice available put it in with the water when you start. Overall it's pretty quick and does what it needs to for a few people. Only issue is sometimes it will go to sleep over night because it gets full and the ice melts while the machine is on hold. Still great purchase for the price
