Silonn Countertop Ice Maker with Expanding Ice Basket, 9 Cubes in 6 Mins, 2.5L Ice Basket, Self-Cleaning Ice Maker with LED Touch Control, 2 Bullet Ice Sizes for Home, Kitchen, Office

Very good ice maker. I bought the one with the expanding ice bucket thinking it would be better to have a larger container for the ice. The springs that let it expand aren’t strong enough, so anytime ice is there it sinks down to the bottom into the water. I primarily drink water, so this isn’t a problem for me. But if I was to use the ice for soft drinks it would water them down much faster. The machine is quiet and makes ice quickly.

We purchased an Antarctic Star that was returned right away. We're so glad we decided on this Silonn. It met all of our requirements: An actual power button, it's quiet(hopefully you can tell that in the video), self-cleaning, has a drain plug on the bottom, the large sized cubes really are a good size, it works quickly and it cost much less than the Antarctic Star. Our freezer doesn't have an ice maker so we use it to keep the freezer's ice bucket and two other "backup" freezer containers full of ice. We probably run it several hours about every two weeks. There are two "cons" but nothing that would make us return it. 1) The inside filter cover is very small and narrow making it difficult to remove for cleaning. I have to use needle nosed pliers for this and 2)All of the buttons are "soft touch" activated so you have to be careful you don't accidentally "brush" by them. Would have preferred really having to "push" them instead.

I had my doubts about whether this would actually work or not, and so far it’s been wonderful. We have questionable water in central Florida so we don’t want to even use the filtered H2O from the frig. We bought this, use bottled water, and it produces large and small bullet cubes. The noise level doesn’t bother us as we generally don’t stay in the kitchen. We also don’t run it constantly, just when we need ice. It also saves a lot in not having to go to the store for bags of ice, which we aren’t sure about the water they use either. It has more than paid for itself in 2 weeks with all the ice it has made. It seems to be very durable, so far great buy for the money, and easy to use. The ice quality is great, and it looks fine. We also bought this to take in our camper as going to the store for ice all the time is a pain.

I’ve had this countertop ice maker for several months. It’s dependable. Works as long as you keep the water level up. Makes new ice about every 6 minutes or so. Once basket is full, will pause until level goes down. Two size ice. I like the larger size. Makes a little noise when filling. Then when the ice drops. I empty when full to a basket in my freezer and keep the ice maker running. I also find myself supplementing my refrigerator ice maker to keep up with our ice usage. I call it wet ice until placed in the freezer. The ice maker will not keep your ice and will eventually melt. A good ice maker, for low usage.

We have run this full time since it arrived and I am super pleased with it. We were always running out of ice, but not anymore!
