Sweetcrispy Countertop Ice Maker Machine Self-Cleaning, Fast Making 9 Ice Cubes in 6 Minutes, 26.5lbs/24Hrs, 2 Sizes Bullet Ice, Portable Ice Machine with Ice Scoop, Basket and Handle

Man I love this thing. I got it at $45, and I could not be happier with this purchase. It makes the ice quickly, and while it is a little noisy, it's no more noisy than my window ac, and way quieter than my high velocity fan (1450 cfm shop fan). I have trouble drinking water if it doesn't have ice, and this, dear lord, has made my lazy dreams come true. As I live in the upstairs of my house, and the stairway is narrow with thin steps, I'm not a great fan of using the stairs (I wear size 16 shoes, the steps barely are deep enough for my heel), so this has been a literal godsend for my laziness. I keep some jugs of water in my office, and between this and my coffee maker, I have devastated my propensity for dehydration. You just open the lid, take out the little basket, pour water in up to the line, put the little basket back in, close the lid, turn it on, choose small or large ice, and then start making your coffee. By the time your coffee is done (I have a 4 cup mini coffee maker) you'll have plenty of ice for your first cup, it's so simple and easy. By the time you make it through the pot, the little basket will be full of ice, and even if you take three full scoops out there will be plenty of ice left, and it's almost always been filled to the point that it stops making ice when I go to get ice, so it functions very quickly and the ice is fantastic whether large or small is chosen. I can't comment to its durability because... while it is portable, I use it as a stationary unit. This has made grinding grand marshal a much, much chiller task now that I don't have to walk across the house, navigate the terrible stairs, walk back across the house, do all the stuff I'm doing now, but 10 feet below my office, and then sit and wait for everything to get done with basically nothing productive to do while I'm waiting 10 minutes. Now I can be doing things like coding websites or doing graphic art, grinding my toon, practicing guitar or piano, drawing on my tablet, working through my retro backlog, cleaning my room and my office, whatever. It's seriously amazing and I love it. It IS basically a mini-fridge in terms of power draw, so for others looking to add this to their office setup, you may need to consider into which plug you're putting this so you don't overdraw the socket or blow a breaker.

It works great! Our ancient refrigerator's ice maker died a while back, and we were getting tired of buying bags of ice. For the price of a few bags of ice, I got this ice maker, and it's just fine. I put it on the countertop next to the sink and let it run all afternoon, emptying the ice basket when it fills up. You can make small or large pieces of ice, shaped sort of like little thimbles. The large ones take more time to make, but they take up more space and contain more ice, so it's a wash. The unit will pause if the basket gets full or it runs or of water, but it's easy to tell when it's getting to the bottom of the tank -- it starts wheezing, trying to suck in water that isn't there. You'd think sitting on pause for a little while would melt all the ice, but it stays cold enough that it doesn't melt quickly. I do sometimes forget it's on, and I have to trot back into the kitchen to empty the basket or add water, and the ice in the basket hasn't meant enough to notice. All in all, it's a great appliance. It for us through the summer's cold drink demand, though it does take an afternoon a week to furnish enough ice for our needs. It's a good product and a good value.

Makes ice quickly in small batches. That’s fine with me since I am the only one who uses the ice. I just keep putting it in my freezer. Cleaning mode is easy to use. I have had it for a month now and sometimes I hear a squeaky noise, but it comes and goes and doesn’t seem to affect the ice at all. Nice machine.

I absolutely love this ice machine. It does the job. It produces enough ice for me.

I'm so sickly disappointed I thought one of these for my brother for his birthday thought I was getting a great deal since countertop ice makers can be very expensive at least for a good one which this is not not even close 😭 so my brother got home set it up and it just doesn't work it doesn't make ice the machine is just pure garbage and now even though try to get a refund or a replacement which nobody wants because they'll just send you the same garbage you have to jump through a bunch of hoops at this point I'm going to take the loss because it would cost me as much and gas to go across the state to get it to return it and to me it ain't worth it all this machine dad was cost me to lose a lot of money just to try to get my brother something he really wanted for his birthday just to be disappointed.. so my advice is buyer beware go elsewhere buy better don't buy from this company your customer solution is horrible days later when they reply to you after asking you for a verification receipt after you tell them everything that's wrong with the machine they just say the same thing over and over this company is from China and they like to play stupid with you and then tell you to go back to Amazon and her request a refund after Amazon tells you to go to the seller what a joke just don't waste your time if it was up to me they wouldn't get any stars but since you have to give them a star to write a review that's all the get out of me as one but honestly they don't deserve any.
