Title: Very happy with purchase so far, fits and looks nice on the countertop
Review: So far, this countertop icemaker has been very good to us. It does make ice every six minutes as stated, and is very easy to use and refill the water tank. We have been using filtered water to cut down the scale build-up that we get because of the hard water in our house. The ice cubes are not totally clear, but that is not a problem considering this unit makes soft ice. The unit so far is been extremely reliable, consistent with the ice it makes, and also looks good on the countertop.Since it does not have any type of freezer unit built into it, just keep in mind that the ice at the bottom will eventually start to melt and drip back into the fill tank, this doesn't really seem to be an issue and if we don't use the ice for a fair amount of time, will just take the fresh cubes off the top and dump the old, and it will make new ice automatically once the level goes down. And being that it makes ice every 6 minutes it really doesn't take that long to fill the been back up.PROS:- Makes Ice Fast- Fairly Large Ice Bin and Water Tank- Ice Tastes Great especially when using filtered water- Looks and Fits Well on Standard Countertop- Easy to MaintainCONS:- A bit more noisy than most would like but it only takes a few days to get used to it then you don't really notice it all that much.- Ice will build up at the dispenser point and sometimes not fill the ice bin up all the way. This is a minor irritant and is easily fixed by casually opening the ice bin lid and using the included scoop to knock the ice into the bin.I've looked at a lot of different ice machines and read a lot of different reviews and came to the conclusion that this one seems like it has the best of both worlds, a decent price, and decent performance. So far I have not been disappointed. I would recommend this for anybody that's looking for a cost-effective decent icemaker that will crank out lots of ice 24 seven when needed.

Title: The Opinion of a Chewable Ice Connoisseur
Review: My husband was tired of travelling to the store every two or three days to buy me ice. Not just any ice at any store, it had to be a certain ice. Bless him, I have the best husband. I drink lots of ice water and love to chew on the ice. Our new home came with a fancy fridge with a built in ice maker/crusher that we don't use. The ice is too hard, and when you use the crushing option, it provides you with smaller chunks of razor like ice shards. Needless to say we don't even have it hooked up anymore. The ice I prefer is round with a hole in the center. I'm not sure how or why, but it produces a softer less deadly, chewable ice. I'm not a huge fan of the snow cone type ice as it melts too fast and even from the start there is really nothing to chew. So my husband figured he spends close to $400 a year on ice. This does not include transportation to and from the store. I found this ice maker online and he said "GET IT!!" I purchased it and told him not to get his hopes up because if I didn't like the ice it produces, it's going back. Well that isn't the case. I LOVE the ice, it's smaller and even softer than the ice we had been purchasing from the store. It also has the hole in the center of the cube, which makes me wonder if that is the key to soft chewable ice. The unit is fairly quiet. In fact it's much quieter that the refrigerator ice maker. I think it's because it has less of an ice drop to create that earth shattering noise. It works really fast. I've only made the large cubes, which are still fairly small, and it will produce them in about 10 minutes. It drops enough to fill a small glass, but in 10 more minutes you have more. We hooked it up, left the house for 2 hours and came home to a full bin of ice. I emptied into a large 2 gallon ziploc freezer bag. It took about 4 full bins to fill that bag up. When the ice enters the ziploc it's a little wet, so it tends to refreeze in the freezer and make a solid chunk. This chunk easily separates with one hard drop of the bag onto the counter, so this is not an issue at all. The 2 gallon bag takes up a lot less space in the freezer than the 20lb bag we had previously been buying. I primarily take from the counter top unit when I fill my glass and save my ziploc as a backup. The rest of the family uses a lot of ice and the unit does well to meet our demand. My only complaints (and they are by no means deal breakers) are that the counter unit is much larger than I was expecting. I wish it took up less space on the counter AND for being so large, the bin that holds the ice is rather small and fills up quickly. That's all.. Otherwise, I love it. So happy to have found it.

Title: Efficient but sensors are pretty bad
Review: I did get this to get some ice, because our freezer ice maker broke. The bill to fix the ice maker was 300, so I did get this ice machine and saved 200 in the process.It works great; it is fast and make ice reliably; although after a week, the water sensor went off. Fundamentally, when the botton area that contains the water, reach a certain level, the water sensor goes off and the machine stop, so you won't burn the pump.This machine has a design flaw from what I can tell, which cause the water sensor to fail; so even if there is no water or the water is low; the pump goes on, and if you are not careful, it will burn. The outcome of this is poorly made cubes; due to the fact that there is not enough water to fill the basket. I did contact the manufacturer to get an idea about a repair or replacement, since I have no time to verify if there is enough water, and for the first week, the low water sensor was working; stopping the machine and turning on the LED that indicate low water level.Other than that, it does its job, Ice stay cold for a while, but if you leave it in the machine, it start to melt and you end up with a melted mess of ice, instead than single cubes. so you may want to grab the ice as soon as it is done, and put it in the freezer; because this ice machine makes ice but does not act like a freezer.Last annoying thing is the cleaning part; since you need to open a side valve to purge the water from the bottom of the device. The hole used for purging is the same used by the pump to get the water; so there is always water in there, unless you dry the machine.Overall 4 stars for the fact that works as expected, but the sensor for low water died after a week, which is a joke.

Title: Works great for the price
Review: Nice compact counter top size. Churns out ice fast. Keeps making ice as exiting ice melts. Easy to clean, nice automatic cleaning cycle. Very satisfied, great for home use, small bar. The bullet ice is OK, but smaller even for the larger ice option, melts really fast. I’m overall great product and reasonably priced

Review: The fancy lights are malfunctioning… which is not so cool. The display keeps saying to add water to a full tank. It is taking a long time to make ice not the +/- 7 minutes is should be.But the lid is a lethal weapon. I have five cuts on my right hand and three on my left. Ouch…they hurt more than paper cuts. No thanks.This is the FIFTH ice maker I buy in just over two weeks….the other four all different brands did not work right out of the box. I am still searching for a good ice maker…price is not a factor with respect to quality.
