[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Hi! I bought this ice maker in December 2020 and yesterday the "ice full" light turned on when there was no ice in the basket. I tried disconnecting the machine for 24 hours and put it under the sun for at least 2 hours thinking that it may be that some part inside was frozen, but when I turned it on again, the problem persists. Then, my son made some research about this problem and found the following solution that worked 100%. Those two "buttons" that I circled in red (that we think are not important), they are really two infrared sensors that when the basket is full of ice, a red light turn on. If these sensors are dirty, the red light WILL turn on. These sensors must be cleaned with a little piece of paper towel with alcohol or vinegar. Just doing that simple task and the machine started making ice again as new. I hope this helps all the people with the same issue.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "I don't understand why the reviews are so mixed on this machine. It was easy to get out of the box, and easy to set up. If you can read and follow directions it's a cinch to operate. I've made large cubes twice and had no complaints with the size or quantity. It's pretty quiet, the only time I would say it's noisy, is when the finished ice drops into the collection tray. For, that isn't an issue. The cleaning process is simple, and straight forward. My only very small complaint, is that the drain plug is hard to get in and out, and oddly placed, when you have it over the edge of the sink, to drain any excess water out. Otherwise this thing is a gem. I store it in a pantry, with the cover propped open, in between ice making sessions. The ice is fantastic in my iced coffee. I bought a separate bin in to store the ice in freezer, so it ready to grab when needed. Would definitely encourage purchasing if your fridge doesn't have an ice maker, like mine."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Purchased on 9/1/2020. This stopped working on 10/20/2020 with a final return date of 10/11/2020. It shows an error message of "ice full" and there is no ice in the basket. I am unable to locate a company address or assistance in the manual. Very, very disappointed.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Exactly what I needed for my apartment that has an old fridge with no ice maker. I was tired of ice trays....no longer need them now. Works perfectly! I don't consider it noisy....it makes a kind of high humming sound (not loud), and you can hear the water when its filling....but I am not using it in a small office or bedroom. Its very easy to use and fill.\n\nThe cons are the size of the cubes.....tiny and small. But that's not really an issue for me. The set up took some time since I followed the procedure to clean and rinse it. I do wish it made a sound when it needs water or when the basket is full. And as some have mentioned, the plug on the bottom of the reservoir can be tricky to use. I would also like to know the amount of energy it uses.\n\nIf I have any issues, I will update my review. But I am overall pleased with the machine."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "Update: This quit working after a month. I ended up purchasing another brand, which I believe is the same as the one I had several years ago, and I don't know how well it is going to work but it is not loud. I can't believe how loud this one is. I'm crossing my fingers that this new one I purchased elsewhere lasts for at least a year. The customer service from this seller was excellent. They had me take a photo of the ice maker with the cord cut and immediately refunded my money so that is why I gave it two stars instead of one. I couldn't have asked for better customer service.\n\nFirst, this is a loud ice maker. I had one several years ago that I used in my office. It was within arms length of my desk and it was quiet. This one is loud and I'm not talking about the ice dropping, it's the machine itself. It sounds similar to those commercial fans you see in hardware stores. I wasn't able to put it in my bedroom where I wanted to because of the loudness and had to put it in another room. I set it up last night in the hopes that in the morning I would have a bucket of ice but during the night the ice built up on the part where it dumps, stopping anymore ice from dropping and I only ended up with half a bucket of ice. It is cute but as I was not able to put it where I wanted it that really doesn't matter now. I will update my review if it gets better as I did just get it last night.\n\nUpdate: It finally started making a lot of ice and nice sized ice (large). I really like the way it looks so I wish it wasn't so loud so I could put it on my mini fridge which is red also but I sit right next to it so I can't do that. I updated my rating to four stars because it works well and is cute. If you aren't going to spend any time near it, like watching TV because you will struggle to hear it, then I would recommend it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I gifted this item to my sister in CA.\n\nShe raves abt the product. She dropped hers off the counter & the warranty I purchased, with the initial gift, was not honored.\n\nApparently, the warranty only covers the interior systems of the ice maker. So, I bought her a 2nd one & she was delighted & surprised.\n\nI didn't tell her it was on its way...\n\nI don't recommend the warranty because I have a history of warranty disasters. Don't waste your money."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have used many portable ice makers over the years. This one in design and use beat all previous ones I have ever used or bought. The self cleaning feature is fantastic. The drain location is also very good when you do need to clean the unit easily will little to no mess. So far, I have not had any issues over the last 10 months of very heavy use.\n\nThe only two things that is a negative is the size of the ice cube and how much it produces. The large with this unit is basically the small cube size of the competitors. However, this unit has been very reliable. The amount of ice produced is not as advertised. The real world use is about 14 to 18 pounds a day depending on temperature. It makes more ice in cooler weather/ winter than during hot days or summer. Still, it makes plenty of ice for my and anyone else's needs."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "It's really easy to use and it really performs! I set it to make the small size cubes, turn it on, walk away, and let it do it's thing. I was really impressed with how it functioned, how fast it produced cubes, and the quality of the cubes. I transferred the cubes to a container that I keep in my freezer. After being in the freezer for awhile the cubes initially all froze together but with just a few taps from the handle of a butter knife they easily separated and stayed separated. They never refroze into a big clump. The cubes are hollow and I was concerned they would melt to fast but I'm actually impressed with how long they last. I am 100% satisfied with this product and highly recommend it!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We are happy with our ice maker. However the merchant we bought it from.... we waited a month! They didn’t even ship until a week after extended delivery time. Supposed to ship and be here before Christmas. Wasn’t even actually sent until after the first of the year!!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' Worth everything penny. I believe i got this one when it went on sale. I think I paid $99. But regardless its worth it. Saves me time on filling up and dumping ice trays and waiting for ice. U get ice for several days in a matter of a few hours. Very happy customer'}]
