Nice, lower profile vs other nugget ice makers.

It’s more low profile than most of the budget ice makers, so it fits in more places. All these things mostly use the same basic components, so otherwise, it’s not very different. It makes the “fancy ice “ though, so that’s all that matters.

I absolutely love this ice machine, it makes ice so fast and it’s perfect for eating, it’s not to hard and has the perfect softness to chew on through out the day. I’m obsessed with it.

Overall a great ice maker. It's a little louder than I expected it to be, but I've become used to it now. No other complaints about the device thus far.

Great product, couldn't be happier! It fills up completely with ice in about an hour - hour and a half, It's very quiet, and it's not too big so it's perfect for any counter space. I highly recommend this product

This is a great little ice maker, it pumps out ice pretty quick, love that it doesnt need a water line and instead uses refillable tank. Easy controls. Onky wish it kept the ice frozen. It melts and gets remade into ice.

Machine makes very quick. Once full it stops until enough melts or is removed and starts back up. It is a tad loud when in use but not so loud you can’t hear people talk.

Decided to purchased based on previous reviews. Great product. Only 2 cons i found so far is that the basket is kind of small and there is no on/off button. You have to unplug if you don't want the machine to run. I dont need the machine running at night. The noise is minimal, which is to be expected. But so far so good!

It makes perfect ice but its incredibly loud. The amount of ice it give might as well order the original nugget ice machine.

This ice maker advertises 26lb/day. The storage bin holds maybe 2 cups of ice before turning off (full). When you empty, the ice is extremely wet and if placed in the freezer, freezes together solid. Self-cleaning means that you have to run a cleaning cycle. I was very disappointed in this ice maker.

I couldn’t be happier. This machine is far superior to the one I exchanged for it (which quite literally blew up). Perfect ice, produces quickly, clean cycle really does clean it. Only downfalls; I don’t understand why there is an on/off button. For that price I’d think that would make sense. And lastly it has this cheap rubber stopper on the bottom to drain. A better solution would have been something more durable. I can already see I’ll
Need to replace this part. Other than that. We are pleased.
