So far, it’s worked perfectly. Pretty fast. It can fill up it’s basket in about 45 minutes or so, haven’t perfectly timed it.I would recommend to read the manual. If water sits in the machine for more than a day, the water will taste like plastic, so make sure to drain all remaining water, rinse it out, and refill with fresh water. As the manual states, the first batch of ice may be deformed, but after that, it makes perfect ice. I specifically chose this ice maker over other similar ones because of its completely clear lid, which it’s perfectly clear for you to easily see what the ice level is at. All the plastic is pretty durable. Noise level is perfectly fine. It’s just slightly louder than a very quiet modern refrigerator.

For the price, you can’t beat this little workhorse. Out of the box and a quick set up cycle, this machine was making ice within 15 minutes!Great features and easy to operate. The two sizes of ice cubes is a plus. It is a smart machine and stops when the basket is full or the tank is low on water. Once you fix either, it goes right back to work. It also is of a low enough wattage to run on a portable power supply so you can have ice on the road.I should have bought one of these a long time ago.The bullet shaped cubes come out just a little on the soft side but they firm up quickly once you transfer them to a freezer. I actually like these better than rock hard ice cubes. The little scoops that comes with it is so small that it is practically useless, but that doesn’t matter.This is a great machine.

8 large ice cubes every 8 minutes is what you can get if you use very cold refrigerated water, else 8 large cubes will take 10 to 12 minutes with room temperature water. The ice cube maker runs flawlessly on its first 2 days of use. Each day I ran it for 4 hours to make 5 lbs of ice. The ice capacity is not that large, so i moved the ice from the bucket to the freezer so it didnt melt. The ice maker is louder than expected, or shall I say the blower fan to cool the compressor is loud. The icemaker itself is quiet. All the mechanisms work flawlessly and the ice maker is easy to clean after each use. I’m hoping this device last for a long time because I’ve have had devices like this before that usually break within 1 to 2 years, but this device seems to be made very well and I’m hoping for the best.

This is a great little ice maker which fits very well into my kitchen. It’s better than I expected. I think it’s very quiet and makes plenty of ice in a reasonable amount of time. I’ve been using it twice a day for a few weeks and no problems. It’s so easy to use and great quality in general. I use the large ice cubes which are a decent size. I can’t see using this at a party but with a few people it would be fine. The price is very good too. Highly recommend!

This ice maker was one of the cheaper ones I could find. Our ice dispenser in our refrigerator quit working. Even though it’s cheaper, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work as well as others. It works great! I like that you can change it from bigger to smaller ice because I eat ice all the time. It makes ice pretty fast too. I would buy again if this one ever stops working. I’ve already had it a few months. Well worth the buy!

Having 5 members in our household, including 3 kids who play sports year-round, we go through a lot of ice. We just threw away a name brand countertop ice machine that bit the dust after about 2 years.We have been using this one for about a month and a half now and are very pleased with it. I learned from my last one that cleaning these things regularly is extremely important to making them last. I love that this one has a cleaning button right on the front. Press the button and it goes through a cleaning cycle for about 5 minutes or so. Easy. You will also need to run some vinegar or other cleaner through it occasionally as well as wash out the inside and removable parts with soap and water. The way it’s designed makes it much easier to clean than my old one. You will have to do all this with any ice maker.It produces a lot of ice in a very short time. The ice is crunchy and not super hard. Between this maker and the one built into our refrigerator, we have plenty of ice now.The design is perfect. Lower the door and scoop out what you need. As the ice in the hopper melts it simply is recycled and makes more ice.Who knows how long it will last, but so far, I have been impressed with the quality. I think as long as I keep it cleaned it will last for a long time.At this price and for the quality, I feel like this is a great deal.

We wanted a replacement for one of those large countertop GE units that is known to fail. Ours did. This one is simple, makes ice nice. If I had a negative it would be that in the summer (we live in GA) you’d better scoop the ice out as soon as it drops as the basket won’t keep the ice from melting if your indoor temps are mid 70’s up. Now that temps have moderated that isn’t so much of a problem. 5 stars based on price and value. It works!

While this little machine makes ice quickly & relatively quietly, it kind of wastes more water than I’d like. It doesn’t, or can’t use all the water in the reservoir, so when the out of water light comes on, there’s actually a bunch of water in the bottom of the tank that never gets used. Every time you’re done making ice you have to open the tiny drain under the machine & drain a bunch of water.

This thing is a beast at making ice, and quick. I didn’t even know these existed. It’s not just an ice maker, This thing makes ice in minutes. I’m not sure what kinds of wizardry is inside of it but in just minutes you’ll have enough ice for a drink. I’m not a fan of storing the ice it makes since they will stick together, but there is no need because, as the ice it makes melts, it drips into the water reservoir and will just keep making ice, keeping the bucket full of ice, always. The only complaint I have is that it’s sort of loud but I guess it needs the heavy duty fans to help the ice gremlins inside of it cool.

This is great! The ice maker on my refrigerator went out and no one will repair it and it’s hard to live without ice. This shipped quickly arrived in perfect condition, well packaged. You have to set it on a flat surface for 24 hours before you use this so that the refrigerant will settle. Then take it near a sink to wash out the water holding part. Reach under to pull the drain plug. Don’t tip it upside down or you’ll have to do the 24 hours again. This thing makes ice within 5 minutes! It’s awesome! If you don’t have an ice maker on your refrigerator get this! It’s even portable you can plug it in outside, at a campground, take it along to music festival! I will probably be giving these away as gifts to all my family members who camp and attend festivals for Christmas this year.

The media could not be loaded. Very convenient and fast at making ice.but I will say when i opened the box it had quite a big sticker on there that says to keep it sitting upright for 24 hours .the item description is a bit misleading as it leads you to believe you can just take it out of the box and start making ice but this isn’t the case. “Inside the ice maker is a mini compressor and refrigerant loop, just like a small refrigerator or air conditioner.When the unit is shipped or carried, it may be tilted or turned sideways. This causes compressor oil and refrigerant to move into parts of the system where they don’t belong — especially into the cooling lines.Letting the machine sit upright for 24 hours allows:• The oil to drain back into the compressor,• The refrigerant to equalize through the system.If you skip this, the compressor might try to start while low on oil, which can cause permanent damage or reduced cooling performance.”All in all a great purchase I’ve had no issues so far with the item itself .this review I made is for the people who maybe planned to get this ice maker and use it right away .

New home, fridge doesn’t have an ice maker. If I installed a new refrigerator the water line would be too difficult to run. What is a guy supposed to do? I bought this countertop ice maker strictly on the strength of its reviews.I have not been disappointed. I make ice with this unit about once every two weeks. It makes ice fast, is very easy to use and is intuitive enough to know when its little ice bucket is full or it is out of water.I’m very pleased with it. The only thing is the ice comes out wet. This makes the cubes stick to each other when put in the freezer. I’ve learned to wait about 5 minutes for the newly frozen ice to cool down (or “dry off” ) and then loosen them up before they get stuck hard.When I’m done I just turn it upside down to drain any water and then leave it like that for any residual water to evaporate. I rub the cleaning cycle now and then.

We bought this after our old refrigerator’s ice maker quit working. It was cheaper than the cost of a service call, not counting the repairs. We we concerned that it would be tricky to use, but the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. We decided to use distilled water right off the bat to minimize cleaning. The ice maker works fast, and fills up the refrigerator’s ice receptacle on just two fills of the ice maker. So far, no problems at all. We only leave it plugged in long enough to refill the ice holder in the refrigerator, which we need to do once or twice a week. The cubes are relatively small, but they don’t stick together. Seems like a good solution for getting all the ice we need.

Great ice maker! My refrigerator ice maker stopped working and making ice for a large family in trays was a pain. I got this to make ice and it had worked amazingly! Ice every six minutes! I dump the ice in my regular freezer bin to make sure I have plenty. The only downside I see is that the ice does seem to melt a bit in the ice maker, but keeping it in a regular freezer helps that issue.

This was just what we needed. The size is smaller than the last one I owned and takes up less space on the counter but produces just as much of not more ice. The water capacity is also comparable to the others I owned. This model is self cleaning and that is such a plus after losing our last one to green tinted water from corrosion in the copper pipes. This checks all the boxes.

For the cost of $70, I love this Ice machine !! But I have a word of CAUTION !! This machine is a very serious FIRE HAZARD !! My advise is, do NOT leave this Ice Machine plugged in while you are away from home, or when you go to bed at night !! I would also not allow children to use this ICE MACHINE for any reason !! If you can follow my advise, then I recommend this ICE MACHINE !! I LOVE IT !! Minus ONE STAR for the FIRE RISK !!

I have never had an ice machine before, and did not know what to expect. After our fridge’s ice machine died, I needed a replacement, because buying ice was getting old really fast, and I chose this company and machine based on 1). the praise people have for this nugget ice (and we do like to eat our ice), and 2). The brand Euhomy seems to have a reputation that people like (and I now agree with).As for the ice maker itself, what a great machine! It looks nice on the counter, and for its size has not too large of a footprint. It produces ice steadily and quickly, maybe taking about 2 hours to fill the included basket. There’s no assembly aside from a handle and simple cleaning before using an appliance for the first time. I run it for about 4 hours and put all the ice in the freezer. This gives my family roughly two days of ice. I do not run it non-stop because I want the machine to last as long as possible. The ice is the nice chewy kind, which is the entire reason that I chose this machine over something cheaper. The machine isn’t noisy, but you can definitely hear it, which is another reason I wouldn’t leave it on all the time.I would like to add that Euhomy has just about the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. They, as a company and brand are amazing, with great representatives who took care of me quickly and professionally for an issue that I had (caused by Amazon’s shipping).I’m very pleased with both this product and this brand.

This is truly a very nice ice machine for two people. The ice bits are small which is great for adding to bottles with small openings. If you like being able to chew your ice this is perfect. It ‘initially’ took a little less than an hour to fill the ice basket. It holds enough to add to a couple of glasses or bottles at a time but it fills back up really fast once it has been totally refrigerated. We always have more ice waiting when we go back for more. It lets you know when it needs more water added with a red light. It’s very easy to refill, just lift the ice basket and add water to the full line. There is a plug on the bottom if you accidently add too much water and need to drain the water tub. Like most people we have an ice maker in our fridge but we have heavy mineral content in our water line that doesn’t produce a quality tasting ice. We installed a 6 filter Reverse Osmosis system under our sink with a separate tap for good tasting drinking water. We use the RO filtered water to fill our Ice maker for great tasting ice. We have been using it for over a month and really do like it. It does make some noise while creating the ice but it’s not that loud. The machine doesn’t give off any heat to speak of. If you like being able to chew your ice this is perfect.

LOVE this ice maker. It was easy to install (just plug in) and the first ice cubes were falling within minutes so speedy ice speed. The capacity is just right for 3 people to get ice once- but we use stainless steel tumblers so the ice retention is good. We make a few rounds that we put in a bag and freeze so we have reserve ice- 3 runs of this ice maker fills 1.5 gallon bags.THE ONLY COMPLAINT is that it doesn’t alert us when the ice is finished running. We have timed it so we know that a single round takes about 2 hours so we can transfer the ice to the freezer since the bin is not refrigerated.

Purchased this ice maker in May 2025. Worked fantastic till it began having issues and weird sounds like a belt whine, freezing up after about 4 months. I reached out to the seller CS and they were great to work with. Offered a couple of fixes, unplug, and additional cleaning and such. Tried everything but the problems kept resurfacing. Customer service was so responsive and stood by the product and sent an entire new ice maker.They definitely stand behind the product and were eager to ensure we were happy.Not sure if my issue was a 1 off but I’d buy another Ice maker from them in the future just because of their Customer Service.

I was so excited to receive this ice maker because it claimed to make the most perfect nugget ice just like Sonic’s delicious ice. I’ve been buying cups of Sonic ice twice a week for some time now. However, now that it’s hot outside here in California, the ice melts a little by the time I get home, so when I put it in the freezer, it hardens up into one solid brick of ice and doesn’t taste the same as when getting and eating it right away from Sonic. Soooo, then I decided to just get my very own ice maker to alleviate this problem. I did my research and looked for a machine that is compact and easy-to-use and clean. Most importantly, the ice maker had to produce Sonic styled nugget ice, not bullet ice. Well, after reading all the reviews on this Euhomy Ice Maker, I was sold. As I said before, I was extremely excited about this ice maker.Well, I received it yesterday, September 1st, and followed all the manufacturers directions to set it up. (Note: You won’t be able to use it right away because you MUST let the machine sit upright for 24 hours before plugging it in, turning it on, and filling the reservoir with water to begin making ice. Then you’re instructed to throw out the first few batches before you can use the ice.)So, I got my machine yesterday and set it upright on the kitchen counter around 7:30p.m. At 7:40p.m. the following night I finally plugged it in, pushed the On button, and filled up the reservoir with filtered water. Then, I waited anxiously for the first batch of “Sonic” ice.I’ll admit that the ice maker is speedy. I heard ice drop into the basket about five minutes later. Another positive is that it isn’t loud at all, as some people have claimed. Okay, those are the only positives though.I wanted and was expecting small nugget ice, but instead I got large bullet ice (for those of you who don’t know what the difference is between nugget and bullet ice, just Google it.) I saw that there are two option buttons on the front, Large and Small. Well, the large button was lit up, so I figured that was the problem. I then turned the ice maker off and unplugged it. I waited about 30 seconds, then plugged it back in, turned it on, and switched it from Large to Small. My hopes were back up that I would get the glorious small nugget ice I was so craving. The ice dropped about five minutes later and I was disappointed again. WTH?!?So, I thought that maybe that was the last cycle of the large ice and my smaller ice would be coming next. Nope!! The only ice that machine was making was large bullet ice, which I do NOT like. Well, I again turned off the ice maker and unplugged it. Waited another 30 seconds then plugged it back in. Now, the dumb machine won’t even turn on. I pushed the On/Off button several times and….nothing.Dead machine 26 hours later after receiving it!?!? Good thing I saved the box because this useless machine is going back. I’m definitely not keeping it when it doesn’t even make small Sonic-styled ice as it claims. More importantly, the ice maker stopped working 26 hours after receiving it. Needless to say, I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!

User friendly & perfect ice size

I love this Kismile Nugget Ice Maker. It makes ice very fast. The size of the machine fits perfectly on my counter top. I am planning to take it on my next trip in the RV.

Bought as a replacement for another ice maker. I like the white interior because I can see the water level. I wish the capacity was higher for the actual ice. The ice itself is perfect and just like Sonic.

I love this machine! I have an icemaker in my refrigerator but this is my go to machine. I love the soft ice. Always refilling it. It does make more noise than the one in the Frig. but love it anyway. Time will tell how reliable it is but really enjoying it, going on 3 months.

Works great!

This is a wonderful machine for the price! The ice does melt a bit in the tray as the ice is being made but it doesn’t affect the overall experience. The ice size is perfect for mixed drinks and Italian sodas! Super easy to use and not overly noisy. Easily stores when not in use. I recommend!

I live with teenagers, my house is not aquiet home, but this ice maker is noisy to the point it bugs my teenagers too. It does make nugget ice. I would say on the small side. The ice always melts quickly in the basket it sits in. Overall it does the job, but noisily and not as efficient as I had hoped.

So far so good. I’ve had this ice maker about a week. It’s quick to make ice. It does take up more space than my last ice maker and it’s a little loud when it cycles through, but other than that it’s relatively quiet and I don’t notice it.

AMAZING ice maker! Have ice in less than 10 minutes with easy to use features. For the price, works quickly and ice is “softer” and can be chewed as well. Sleek design and fits under most standard cabinets.

This countertop ice machine works well, and is very similar to the ones on the market at this price point. I like that this one has real stainless steel that is easy to wipe down and looks nice on the counter. The machine itself requires a lot of cleaning attention or else it builds up mold/mildew/dirt. I like that it makes two different sized cubes. It produces ice very quickly and definitely does the job for me!

A definite upgrade for our ice making. I love that it makes 2 sizes of cubes and is pretty quick. I use filtered well water and the taste is good. It is quieter than our last ice maker too, plus it looks beautiful!

Works very well. It makes ice decently fast and before you know it you have ice for the rest of the week. I’m not sure about how long it will last so I’ll have to come back and update the review but for now it’s good. I got it at a good price as well. It’s not very noisy and can pretty muched be moved anywhere there is power and water.

We have had this for about a month now and absolutely love it. I go thru a lot of ice during the day and it keeps up.We had talked about getting one for a couple of months but never used one before and wasn’t sure how well they would operate. Our Air BnB on vacation had one and after using it for 2 weeks, we came to the conclusion that we needed to get one..very very convenient and puts out a lot of ice quick. We use it as our main ice source instead of the fridge ice maker. This would be great for a mini bar or dorm room as well.Even with as much ice as I use, we still only need to fill with water every day and a half. It takes up very little space and can be put just about anywhere there is a plug in. Melting ice drips back into the water tank so there is no loss of water if you don’t use the ice and it knows when ice is being taken out and makes more. If ice is not being used, it doesn’t keep making ice..it just goes into a ‘sleep mode’ as I call it, but as soon as you take ice out, it starts making ice again.Its very easy to clean (pretty much same as a coffee maker for hard water deposits) and without a doubt one of the most functional appliances we’ve purchased.

Where do I even begin to describe the epic ice-making adventure that is the Frigidaire EFIC117-SSBLACK 26 Lbs Portable Compact Maker? I guess I’ll start by saying that I must have been living under a rock (or rather, an ice-less rock) before purchasing this masterpiece of a machine.Upon opening the box, I was greeted with the sleek, black, compact design that could only be a creation from the gods of frozen water. I couldn’t wait to plug this baby in and start my icy journey.First things first, I filled the reservoir with water and turned it on. The machine hummed to life, like a purring kitten, warming my heart and cooling my beverages simultaneously. To my absolute delight, the first batch of ice was produced in what felt like seconds. No, I am not exaggerating, it was like watching the Flash make ice cubes!The cubes were perfectly symmetrical, glistening like tiny ice gemstones. I immediately put them to the test in my glass of room-temperature cola. The beverage was transformed into an arctic oasis, making me feel as if I was sipping straight from a glacier. This is truly a game-changer.Now, I know what you’re thinking, “It’s just an ice maker, get a grip!” But trust me, dear reader, this is not just ANY ice maker. With its 26-pound ice-making capacity, this ice maker has become the life of every party I’ve hosted. I’ve even given it a nickname: “The Frosty VIP.” My friends flock to it like moths to a flame – or rather, penguins to an iceberg.Moreover, this compact maker has ice-making superpowers. It’s like having my very own personal Elsa from Frozen, but without the drama and need to build a snowman. It has three different cube sizes, which I’ve affectionately named: small chill, medium freeze, and large frostbite. Each size has its own unique charm, perfect for different drinks and occasions.Do you have a tiny apartment, or perhaps you live in an igloo? Fear not, for the compact can fit anywhere! It’s like having a tiny ice factory that can be tucked away in a corner, ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.In conclusion, if you’re still on the fence about purchasing this ice maker, I implore you to take the icy plunge. Your life will be forever changed, as will your beverages. Stay frosty, my friends!

This machine works as advertised! Produces ice bullets quickly and efficiently. It doesn’t take up much space and pulls its weight by augmenting our ice basket in the freezer. Our just out-of-warranty freezer ice maker doesn’t produce ice like it used too and this unit picks up the slack for a great price. A repair to our freezer could run up to $800 or more, so for 89 bucks, it’s worth the counter-top space. Highly recommend.

The Frigidaire Portable Compact Ice Maker really does an impressive job when it comes to making ice. It produces a solid amount, up to 26 lbs per day, and the ice comes out quickly and consistently. I love how convenient it is to have fresh ice on hand without waiting for trays to freeze, and the stainless steel look fits nicely with my kitchen appliances.However, the biggest downside is the cleaning. The inside gets slimy faster than I expected, and it’s not easy to reach all the areas that need to be scrubbed. Even with regular upkeep, it’s tricky to keep it fully clean, which takes away from the overall experience. I wish the design made maintenance simpler or included easier access to the parts that need attention.Overall, it’s a great ice maker in terms of performance, but the cleaning difficulties keep it from being a perfect buy. If you don’t mind putting in extra effort to maintain it, the ice quality is excellent.

I never realized how much I needed a countertop ice maker until I brought home the Aeitto Ice Maker, and now I can’t imagine life without it. From the very first batch—ready in just six minutes—I was hooked.One of my favorite moments was hosting a summer barbecue. Normally, I’d be running to the store for bags of ice, but this little machine kept up effortlessly. Guests were amazed that I could refill pitchers of iced tea and cocktails without ever worrying about running out. The two size options were a hit—large cubes for sodas and small ones for whiskey lovers who wanted slower melting ice.On busy mornings, I’ve even started using it to chill my iced coffee before heading out the door. It’s become part of my routine: pour, press the button, and within minutes I’ve got perfectly clear bullet-shaped cubes. The self-cleaning function is another lifesaver—I just hold the button and let it do the work, no fuss.What really surprised me was how quiet it is. I keep it on my kitchen counter, and even when I’m working from home, I barely notice it running. Plus, its sleek stainless steel design looks modern and fits right in with my appliances.This isn’t just a gadget—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Whether it’s family dinners, parties, or just my daily iced coffee, the Aeitto Ice Maker has made every moment cooler (literally). If you’ve ever thought about getting an ice maker, stop hesitating—this one is worth every penny. Color couldn’t sleeker. Plug and play. Functions like any other brand name ice maker and pretty good water capacity. So happy with it, I bought one for my ADU tenants too!

This one actually makes ice quickly. It has that type of ice that forms around the metal to make ice fast. Easy to use, just add water and you will have ice in no time.

I bought this little ice maker for our camper when going fishing. The costs for bagged ice has gone up so much, that this will pay for itself within a few trips. The machine is fairly quiet and faster than I expected it. The size of the ice cubes is decent and compatible to those in bagged ice (hollow, not solid). Somewhere in either comments or FAQs was stated, that it has 88 Watts, which is incorrect. When calculating to see if I could use it with a battery powered inverter, it came to 176W (Amp x Volt = Watt). The instructions say to descale the unit at least twice per week, which seems a bit much.

This ice maker is a total game-changer for my kitchen. It’s incredibly fast, and I love that it gives you the option of different ice cube sizes. It’s so convenient to have a constant supply of ice without having to wait for the freezer trays to fill up. The self-cleaning function is a huge bonus, making maintenance super easy. It looks great on my counter, too. If you entertain often or just love cold drinks, this is a must-have!

It’s really good. Let me share the pros and cons. I hope the product gets better! After filling up the water line, I spent the afternoon making ice. I started with small ice cubes, which was relatively fast. Then I switched to large ice cubes. The first time the machine made ice, the ice cubes were quite thin. By the third cycle, they were about the same thickness as store-bought ice. By the last cycle, the ice cubes were no longer finger-shaped, but almost spherical! Very cute! The process is completely automatic, so theoretically you can leave them alone. However, because the weather was so hot, I needed to transfer the ice cubes to the freezer immediately, which was very convenient.

I used to just freeze ice cubes in my fridge at home, but this machine makes ice so much faster—and it’s nice and compact too. Now I’ve set it up in our warehouse office so my coworkers can use it as well.Funny thing is, one of my colleagues from China only drinks hot water because he says cold drinks hurt his stomach. I get it, but honestly, the problem isn’t the ice—it’s the stomach!

I placed this in my guest house thinking it would be a nice touch, but it’s turned out to be one of the things visitors love the most. It’s simple, doesn’t take up much space, and always has ice ready. Whether someone’s mixing a drink, cooling down after a workout, or just wants a glass of cold water, it’s right there waiting. I’ve even had friends ask where I got it. It runs quietly, doesn’t require much attention, and somehow adds that extra bit of comfort that makes the space feel more thoughtful. Definitely one of those little things that ends up making a big difference.

Nice quality, very quick!This little unit’s a real find! Super simple to set up and use, plus its compact size lets me keep it right on the kitchen table all summer. Bonus: I drink way more water now with ice always on hand. It’s not microwave-level convenient, but close! Pro tip: If the basket fills up, unused ice melts back into the reservoir and gets reused automatically.

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.

We live in a travel trailer while our house is being built and this works so nice for us. As you know trailers, don’t have big freezers. It isn’t noisy. We like the larger cubes. The tray is easy to remove. It holds 3 to 4 cups of ice when finished cycling. It makes 1 cup of ice within a few minutes. I like the cleaning option on this machine.

This is my 3rd ice maker of this countertop type. They were different manufacturers, but worked the same,freezing bullet ice and pushing it into an ice bin that let’s it sit in the bin while it’s melting and the water goes back into the reservoir until it is needed to make ice. The longest time one of these worked for me is 6 months. The pump stopped working on that one so water couldn’t be pumped from the reservoir. I think it was that the circuit that powers the pump was not do to a bad sensor or something to that effect. Dust and lint buildup on the coil is anotherthing to watch for. Usually a vacuum cleaner can remove enough of the dust so that the coil can do the job it’s designed to do and it will make ice again. These can get noisy, especially when the ice drops after it freezes.

I absolutely love my ice maker it works perfectly I can never go back to the old ice trays My ice maker works really good it gives the option to have small cubes or big I love that I could chew on ice all day if I want to

This ice machine has been a great addition to my kitchen. The size is compact enough to fit on the counter without taking up too much space, yet it makes a generous amount of ice. The packaging was secure and everything arrived in perfect condition. Setup was quick and straightforward and it started producing ice within minutes. The cubes are consistent and it keeps up well when we have guests over. It runs fairly quiet and is very efficient. Overall it is reliable, easy to use, and worth the purchase.

Works better than I expected. It was so cost so I tried it out. We have that ice maker running all day long. And I have ice and everything even when it’s cold outside. The ice is soft though which is interesting and you can buy into it but it’s still stays hard and drinks. It meets our need for ice for the four of us and I just threw away my ice trays I don’t need them anymore.

When I made my first ice cubes with this thing I was really impressed. It’s quiet and it really does make ice starting in about 8 minutes. The down side is that the ice is barely freezing, as in maybe 32 degrees F. The ice made in your home freezer is about 0 degrees F. Ice that is only 32 degrees only lasts a couple of minutes in a drink. It will not be helpful in a cooler. The other thing is that the ice basket shows full too early, as the ice dumping into it does so in a slope, so the basket is only about half full when it shuts off production.

Have had this about a week now and I am overall, pretty happy with this purchase. It’s the right size for the space I have. It’s very portable. It makes ice quickly. My kids love it. My only complaint is that if I don’t put refrigerated water in it, the ice is not properly formed. They come out thin, melty and too small, even on large ice setting. So if you buy this, keep in mind room temp or warmer water is not going to freeze up correctly. It seems to work just fine if I put very cold water in the reservoir, or leave some ice in the water, then I get perfect ice. ????

We’re so satisfied with this ice maker! We’ve always preferred drinking water from our own filter rather than the refrigerator, so we never trusted fridge-made ice either. Now, we can make ice using our filtered water, and it tastes just as good as our drinking water. It produces enough ice quickly, and the noise level is very low. Our only wish is that the unit could be a little lighter, but overall, we really like it!

The Aeitto ice maker is a game-changer for anyone needing ice quickly and efficiently. Its countertop design fits seamlessly into any kitchen, office, or even an RV. The speed of ice production is impressive, delivering 9 cubes in just 6 minutes. With a capacity of 26 lbs per day, running out of ice is a thing of the past. I appreciate the choice of bullet ice shapes, adding a touch of fun to drinks. Plus, the self-cleaning function makes maintenance a breeze, ensuring fresh ice every time.

I’m very happy with this Aeitto ice maker! It’s compact, stylish, and fits perfectly on my countertop without taking up much space. It starts producing ice in just a few minutes, and the ice cubes come out clear and solid — perfect for drinks, smoothies, or cooling water bottles.Overall, it’s an excellent value for the quality and convenience it offers. I highly recommend this Aeitto ice maker to anyone looking for a fast, efficient, and stylish ice machine!

This is only good at beginning and not too loud ( much more expensive compared to other brands). After 6 months, the ice contained little dust and we tried to clean up frequency but it didn’t work. The automatic clean up of the ice marker didn’t help. I tried to email them to ask for help but no one reply my email.

Our ice maker in our fridge went out. We needed an ice maker, so we decided to get one off of Amazon to hold us over. We purchased the Aeitto ice maker, and our we pleased. This ice maker filled our ice tray in just a short time. I believe this is the ticket to our ice problem.

Fast shipping and well packed! This ice maker works perfectly — small, quiet, The ice cubes are clean, clear, and perfect for drinks or smoothies. Easy to use and easy to clean. Great value for the price — definitely a 5-star purchase!

Got this out and added water and plugged it in. Within a short time we found that water was pouring out everywhere. Even found its way to the basement!! Upon taking it apart I found there was a water line NOT hooked up!! Took machine apart and fixed the water lines and started over, seems to be working fine now? My suggestion is to add little water and plug in somewhere easy to ensure you have no leaks before just walking away or you might just have a big mess to clean up !! The fix only took me 20 minutes to find and repair but you just should not have to fix a brand new machine. If you are not very handy you might think twice???

This Aeitto ice maker works great — fast, quiet, and easy to use. Makes 9 cubes in just a few minutes and keeps up perfectly for daily use. The self-cleaning function is super convenient. Highly recommend for home or restaurant use!

I don’t consider something a liquid to drink if it lacks ice. This machine works great and I love it dearly. I just was tortuted by a more expense NewAir Unit that ran 10 days, then it eventual replacement that was “Refurbished” to which I objected but got anyway. After the “runaround circuit of misery” by NewAir? The eventual Refurb “New Unit” arrived D.O.A. It turned on but the arms would not turn just like the junk unit I bought new. I finally bought this “Igloo- The Wirecutter Recommendation”. I LOVE IT!!!It just keeps WORKING AND WORKING CRANKING OUT REALLY NICE ICE. Buy THIS ONE. Please read their EXCELLENT User’s Manual. It’s highly informative: tells you what to expect, troubleshooting tips, how to use the self-cleaning (easy) feature. It does take a very few minutes of no sounds before you hear it working this is normal. A tip I received from people experienced in buying ice machines: Get the extended warranty. I bought it for 3 years. I realized what a bargain and convenience this unit was compared to the cost and hauling of bagged ice. This wonderful machine also weighs 1/3 of the NewAir garbage. BUY THIS ONE!Update 2 years later: I bought this 12/21. Have used it 24/7 365 to perfection! Now close to two years later it malfunctioned and stopped making ice. The “people in the know” who said “always buy an extended warranty on an ice-maker were right! The warranty people are picking up the device from my home tomorrow for free and issuing me an Amazon credit for the full price to buy a new one. Honestly? Even for the time it worked perfectly non-stop it was worth the $145 or so I paid for it even if I wasn’t getting a new one. The dependability and non-stop availability of ice nonstop without having to spend a cent on a bag and lug it around, then have it take precious space in. my freezer was divine.I am left with one confusion: My machine is the “Original Aqua (it might mention the arm) now at $172.00 (approx) I can pay the difference. But the page pulls up the $99 unit “Aqua Arm” or “with Aqua Arm.” I would rather pay less, but in reading the reviews they were better for the more expensive unit I had, and the model numbers are similar but different: It is ICEB26HNAQ vs IGLICEB26HNAQ (Higher Price vs Lower Price) but I don’t want to be a dummy and pay more if I don’t need to, so I’ll check with Igloo first comparing motors and here comparing dimensions. I don’t want to screw up getting a machine that delivered beyond my wildest dreams because cash is tight. I retried the NewAir junk. It still never worked. I hate that company for charging more, delivering a dud and replacing it with a dud. They robbed me of about $200.00 and tortured me. Never had a functional machine. Stay away from New Air, they are thieves that make broken machines and run an unethical operation. I will bring this up every chance I get as I’ve never bought and been stuck and replaced and stuck with a lemon buying from ANY company. New Air are “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves” as the song goes and are the more expensive choice! They cannot even begun to be compared to Igloo!

Purchased this Igloo ice maker in Mar ’24 because the Mfg of the refrigerator could not keep the one in their frig working. Many of the reviews said it would last about a year, so I bought the extended warranty also. This little guy just keeps cranking out the ice. The cubes do have a hole in them, and really not much difference between small and large. We use it almost daily, making ice and putting it in the freezer in zip lock bags to freeze before dumping in a bin(minimizes clumping). The ice is wet and the maker is not insulated, but it is better than filling and dumping ice trays or buying new frig. Melted ice will go back in the water reservoir to be remade again. It has gotten a bit noisy, but does not bother us. It kind of reminds us that it is full and needs dumping when it gets quiet. I do run the clean cycle with half vinegar half water as it recommends then run a clean cycle with clean water before using. So not as intense cleaning as some machines. Hope this helps.

I bought this new, along with an extended warranty. A lot of ice makers seem to go out after a year. The one I bought — Igloo in a light blue– only lasted a month and a half before completely dying. I called Amazon customer service to inquire about the manufacturer’s warranty. The agent said to use the extended policy, but I told her I did not think that would take effect until after the original manufacturer’s warranty expired. She said she would send me another one, without charge, as long as I returned the one I had. So we went with that. However, I spent the next month trying to get rid of the horrible taste of the ice from the replacement. We kept running the cleaning system to no avail. Didn’t help at all. Kept flushing it out. I called Amazon again, and asked if it might have been a “renewed” one, sent back and previously owned, and if they might have used some sort of cleaning agent in it. She said probably, and ended up refunding the original purchase price. So at that point, the machine owed me nothing. We tried flushing it out again, several times alternating between vinegar and lemon Juice, and it helped somewhat. We used it occasionally over the next two to three months, before the replacement ice maker also completely died. Could never revive it no matter what we tried. I have no idea what killed it, but the lifespan of the 2nd one of these received was also very short. I do not think these are well made at all. I’m shocked to see that so many customers gave it 4 to 5 stars. Maybe I shouldn’t be griping since it was free after all, but it was also a total waste of my time and energy. These are fairly heavy to pick up and drain, etc. And I had hoped for ice. Just ice. With none of that horrible chemical taste. Nothing more and nothing less. That was what I bought it for. Igloo did not deliver the promised ice; instead, both of their machines died prematurely in the kitchen. They were never abused, just not well made. I really do NOT recommend buying any of these from this company. Their coolers are fine, but not their ice machines. Though I did like the pretty blue color.

I picked this up as a temp replacement for a failed fridge auto ice maker. I’ve been keeping my ice storage been full transferring ice from this as it’s made because the built in is tray is not refrigerated and melts if it’s left in. It works very well and quite fast with fresh torpedo ice production every 6min or so. I had my freezer ice ben filled in an hour with to water fills and run the unit once a day to keep me topped offThe only minor cons I have is that the fan is a bit noisy and blows warm air out into my kitchen, but to be fair that is to be expected. And also no built in chiller to keep the ice from melting in it’s storage tray. But as it melts it drips back into the water storage tank that directly below the slotted ice basket so there’s really no issues.Overall this seems a solid ice machine unit and works as advertised. Worth the money!

We are always running out of ice and this has solved the problem. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago.This ice maker is excellent and will delivery the 26 lbs. of ice per day. What a lot of people don’t understand about countertop ice makers is that when the ice is made it is about 27 degrees and the ice maker is not a storage freezer. Think of it like the ice that was just made will sit in the ice maker which is like keeping ice in a cooler. It won’t get colder it will just slowly melt and then gets turned back into ice again.Keep in mind when you pull ice out of your kitchen freezer that has been in there for several hours it is around 0 degrees vs. the 27 degrees right out of the countertop ice maker. So, ice from your freezer is going to last a lot longer in a drink than ice out of this countertop ice maker. So, that may not be ideal for some if you are having a drink outside on a hot day and not using an insulated cup. For best results take the ice out of the countertop ice maker and put it in a gallon ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for a little while so it will get down to the 0 degrees. That is not necessary though. The ice that comes right out of the machine is plenty cold enough for drinking beverages indoors. If you want to use the ice outdoors just place the ice in an insulated cup.Pros:Very quality built machine.Very easy to use.It uses lights to notify you of the status rather than annoying beeps.It really does make 26 lbs. of ice in an hour.First ice in about 8 minutes.Full basket of ice in about an hour.Pauses itself when ice basket is full and will resume ice production automatically as soon as some ice is removed.Light comes on when water needs to be added (keep in mind you still have a full basket of ice when this triggers).Melts very slowly and if you leave it on over night it only comes on once or twice to replace the ice that melted.Quite operation.It doesn’t take up a lot of countertop space so we are able to leave it out and it matches our stainless steel fridge.It comes with a nice ice scoop which is great for parties.This ice maker keeps dropping ice every 8 minutes.The cord is very long so it doesn’t have to be right up against the outlet.Cons:The only con I have about the machine is trying to drain the water remaining when you are done using it. There is a drain plug underneath it that is a little tricky to use because you can’t see underneath the machine and you can’t just turn the machine upside down to drain it per their instructions. That will harm the machine.What I found to be a great solution is instead of using the drain plug I use a microfiber towel to soak up all the water left in the machine. That only takes a quick second and you don’t have to move the ice maker over the sink to drain it. I then leave the lid open to make sure it dries out. So it really isn’t a con if you use the microfiber towel. It is so easy this way which means I never mind using the machine even to make a small amount of ice.

Got it for my office. Doesn’t make a lot of noise, refills the ice quickly, and I’ve used it for many days and I have not had to refill the water tank yet. Extremely pleased and prefer it to my more expensive and larger version. My only issue with it is that the ice cubes melt a little quicker than I would like, but overall, I’m very pleased and would recommend.

Works great. Our old one died on us and this one is going strong

Great countertop ice maker. Perfect for summer months when our demand for ice outweighs the capacity of our built-in ice maker. We’ve had this for over a year now. It ran continuously for 5 months last summer/fall and it’s going on another 3 months this summer. We put it away for the winter because we don’t need the extra ice. Pros: Makes ice quickly that is fun sized and “chewable.” Perfect for all the iced tea I’m hooked on during the summer. Super fun to have extra, scoop-able ice on hand for our summer drinks. Cons: Our unit seems to get stuck – as in I need to manually push away the ice from the ramp or else the ice maker thinks the ice bin is full and will not make anymore ice. A minor inconvenience.Also, last week the ice maker stopped working properly- turning out very tiny ice cubes that melted too fast to use. I did some research into this and ran a batch of pure vinegar through the ice maker then flushed it out with plain water. Seems to have fixed the issue. Normal size ice cubes again. Voila! Also – when draining the unit of old water, but sure to keep it upright and use the drain plug to drain rather than tipping the whole unit over the sink to pour out old water. I was doing this for a while and may have jostled the coolant in the unit. I let it rest in its upright position for 24 hours, then plugged it back in and it has been fine. I’m not entirely sure whether the problem with the unusually small cubes were due to scaling build up or whether it was due to the coolant being disturbed, or both. Either way, letting it rest in its upright position and running a cycle with vinegar has fixed the problem. I’m happy that we’re halfway through our second summer and the thing is still working.I would recommend for others who have similar uses for the ice maker. Do not expect it to produce enough ice for a larger party or to fill up a cooler. Works great for a family of 4 for regular drinks.

I love this thing! 2 sizes for bullet ice and is rather quiet in comparison to my old ice maker.

JUST DONT BUY IT!!!So I’ve had this ice maker a little over a year now. At first it worked great. But after only a few months the sensor stopped working that tells you to add more water and it just keeps running even with no water in it. Which was fine whatever, I didn’t let it run overnight or anything and was usually there when it was making ice so I just filled it up when it got low. Fast forward to now and I’ve been finding little pieces of metal at the bottom where the water goes into the reservoir. Not sure how long this has been happening but not happy that me, my husband and my kids have possibly been ingesting little pieces of metal which is giving me anxiety. It doesn’t have any sort of self cleaning so you have to drain it and clean it out but who knows how the water lines get clean and if u don’t wipe it dry occasionally or don’t have it running constantly like me I’m sure mold can grow pretty quickly in it. I’ve tried to reach out to Frigidaire but they couldn’t help me bc Curtis Igloo is the one who actually makes it. Tried to reach out to them and there was “no one to answer my call”So I’m pretty frustrated with it and feel like it was a waste of money to get this even tho reviews were “good”.WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Go find a different better brand with better customer service.

I really enjoying having a ice maker. I don’t have to worry about making ice in freezer. My granddaughter would leave the empty ice trays out and doesn’t bother to refill them.So ice maker resolve this problem.
