i loved the icemaker worked great for about five months then quit making ice, i read the trouble shooting steps and also went on the manufactures site and google to see what i could do i unplugged over night then tried again the next day it halfway worked for a few hours then quit again, i finally found a chat area with amazon and explained my issue and did the cleanings etc. the person was very helpful and contacted the maker and in about ten minutes came back and told me they are sending you a replacement and do not worry about sending the defective item back they will send you an email when it ships etc, i thanked her for her help i was very impressed with the help i received. about four weeks went by and no word so i tried to find chat again and couldn't find it but found a phone number for amazon and called them the person i talked to said she couldn't find anything about it and gave me a couple of options the last was i can box it up and either have UPS pick it up which is not an option for me or i can take it to them, which after being told not to return it did not make me happy at all i could of disposed of it and would of been out of any refund, so i took it to UPS, today i had an email that my refund has been issued and they charged me over $15. so once again i had to find a number and call them they informed me that it was past 30 days and it was a restocking charge, i explained again what amazon told me and he kept repeating himself, i stopped him and said why are you restocking a failed item? he went right back to it's over the 30 day etc. i even explained to him i've been with prime since it came out and you are quoting a return of a new unused or damaged item, don't need etc. i had to ask for a manager and waited for awhile then i had to explain again and a little back and forth she refunded the rest to me.i really can't put words to this, was i lied to the first time? by amazon or the maker etc. i am not joking about at least an hour and a half trying to find chat, going through amazons customer service steps the close to 20 mile round trip etc. and i am still at square one, no working ice maker, do i trust this brand? roll the dice and try another in my price range etc. i bought this due to the ratings and i needed to have one for the ice pack machine the spine hospital gave me after my Surgery. i am loosing my faith in amazon's customer service, they used to be great / the maker contacted me and explained what had happened was due to an employee had left due to having a baby and my issue was not passed on quick enough and apologized several times kept in touch with me etc. and made it right with me which is not common thing anymore i am impressed

I use this ice maker multiple times a week and it works great. I usually make a batch and then put it in a large freezer safe plastic storage bin for later use - just make sure to stir the ice when putting a new batch in so it doesn't stick together. But it also makes ice quickly (about 6 minutes) so you can make it as needed too. I prefer this option to the ice maker in my freezer because it is easy to clean and portable. It is very easy to use - I got one for my mother in law who has difficulty getting around and she loves it. I highly recommend!

I ordered this ice maker a few weeks ago, and waited to make my review until now to really see how I like it. Well my husband and I LOVE it. Our freezer has never been able to produce ice, so buying it so frequently got pricey, we easily got our moneys worth in the first week of owning this machine. The instructions are very helpful, cleaning has been easy, and you really do get plenty of ice within an hour! Set up was easy, and the alerts for low water/ice full is something I really appreciate. Highly recommend this to someone looking to buy one.

We really like this little ice maker! We put this on our bar and we (and the kids) use it constantly. It makes ice really quickly, stops when it’s full, the ice will melt and re-make rather than just sitting there. We only use bottled water so the taste is great. The only downside I have found is that the ice doesn’t stay solid for super long, they are small round pieces that are hollow in the middle. But absolutely perfect for a small drink or during the summer, etc.

Had this for around a year, bought for our RV. It’s great! Makes plenty of ice quickly and works well. No issues or complaints so far!

It's the perfect size for writing on the countertop at home. Although there is a downside that the ice cubes tend to stick together over time, it's great for home use if you don't use a lot of ice.
