Cleaning and set up is simple. It is sturdy, sleek, easy to use and truly makes ice in approx 8-12 minutes. You have the ability to choose between 2 sizes...LG and SM sized cubes. (I have included a photo to show the size variation). The compressor is quiet while operating and the only real sound you hear is when the ice cubes drop into the tray. I look forward to putting this to great use this summer, through the holidays and get togethers. Would be nice to take on a boating or camping trip- (RV), as it does require electricity. Another great product from a wonderful seller. Thank you!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This icemaker was packaged very nicely. Everything was wrapped and taped up, but it was still easy to unpack and to remove the tape. My biggest pet peeve is when it takes an hour to unwrap something 🙂\n\nThe icemaker itself feels very sturdy and was the perfect size for my limited countertop space. It is solid, but not overly heavy. It takes up about the same amount of space as my Kitchenaid mixer, just as a more solid rectangular shape. The entire unit is stainless steel minus the lid, which is a solid black and see through black color. The fan portion puts out a good bit of air, so make sure you have plenty of space on that right side to vent. I thought it might look too cumbersome overall at first, but it really didn’t take up as much space as I’d feared. And it matches my appliances very nicely. The cord is a really nice length too. I was surprised how much length you got.\n\nThe front panel has notification lights for adding water, ice full, small ice size, large ice size, and also has a select button and the power button. It also comes with the removable ice basket and scoop. It is crazy simple to use. Just pour water in the tank, select the size and turn it on!\n\nOnce you turn on the icemaker, it began filling within seconds. It took less than 5 minutes for the first small batch of ice to be done. You’ll need a bit of time to get a full batch. The basket holds enough to fill a couple cups full of ice, but the machine runs continuously if left on until it runs out of water. It’s definitely great for 2-3 people, especially if you have a small kitchen or space. I’m one of those people who has to have ice with their drinks, and this is perfect since we have well water and can’t use the fridge icemaker. Using filtered water, the ice comes out crystal clear and in a hollow shape.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' This is very convenient for trips like vacations to the beach, Camping, in a camper or RV.

Highly recommended!quickly'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This countertop ice maker is really beautiful, efficient and gives you the option to make small or large ice. I won't say cubes because their shape isn't square or rectangular. They're more circular and look almost like long pencil top erasers. I really like it because the ice can fit into small mouth water bottles, without getting stuck, like standard freezer made cubes. Both the large and smaller made ice. While making the ice, the machine is extremely quiet. The only time it's a little louder is when the ice is released and moved into the included ice holder. Once it is full, you may transfer the ice into another container. The only drawback I found is that if the water container is filled to the maximum level, after the ice drops, the base of the dispenser may be wet, causing the ice to have moisture. When you transfer it, say to your freezer tray holder, it will cause the ice to stick together when mixed with other cubes. If you use it directly from the ice maker, you dont have this problem. A small scoop is included with the ice maker. It is very well made and heavy. A strong woman may be able to carry it, but I am allowing my husband to move it. I purchased the ice maker to use as a backup for a weeklong beach house vacation. There were 10 of us, using both the freezer and portable ice maker. We never ran out of ice. I was told by my guests that it was one of my best purchases."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "This icemaker is so quick! I love the ice.. I am an ice chewer and I live for this ice. Perfect for my house where we go through ice like crazy so u bought this was back up. I just keep it on use 24/7 now. When I go to the beach I plan on bringing this to my condo so I don't have to keep getting ice from the machine. It's so transportable and convenient I should have bought long ago...\n\nFast worward to three weeks later... The ice all of sudden taste awful. I chew ice and can't bare it. Cleaned it etc.. So now it's just a paper weight. It's a shame because I raved about it on Facebook and two other people bought it. I'm about to rant about it on fb to sway people from buying it.\n\nWhy on earth would this machine just start producing gross tasting ice? I've even use filtered water in it and everything."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I love this icemaker. Few things like this measure up. The cubes are nice on the large setting and last for a while in my drinks not melting too fast. I would throw away the first 8-10 runs of ice. Very first run of ice scared me but the cubes got better and larger. Makes ice pretty fast too. Faster than I expected. I don’t use my freezer ice anymore. Purchased to supplement on hot days when we had people over. I now run it all the time. Only recommendation is to set the electronic eye in the middle of the ice tray. Ice tends to melt towards the front so it does not make more ice until ice in the back of the bin starts to melt. Ice is always fresh tasting since the ice storage area is not below freezing. This is a great ice maker for the price. Nightly recommend.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I like the ice maker, but there are a few of things I wasn't prepared for. One, it does make ice in as little as 8-10 minutes, but it only makes about 8 cubes. It takes much longer to build up a supply if you want to keep ice handy in the freezer. Two, the ice starts melting in the basket so you need to empty it as soon as possible. Three, once the cubes are in the freezer, they refreeze and stick together and i have to hack at them to break them up. Four, the machine made large cubes on the small setting and small cubes on the large setting LOL. It sorted itself out eventually, but that was a bit frustrating. Positives: very easy to set up and use. It's fairly quiet...I barely hear it unless it's releasing cubes. It looks nice on the counter and has a compact design, but still has a fairly large footprint for kitchens with little counter space. Overall, I'm happy I have it, i just need to get used to it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The ice maker worked as stated when it arrived. I think the noise level is a little higher than I expected. The ice had a "fishy" smell for quite sometime. I used purified water in the system to make sure it wasn\'t the water; it took a long time for the smell to disappear. My machine started to just run water through it continually and never stop to begin creating ice. I emailed customer service and didn\'t receive any acknowledgement of my problem for several days. In the meantime I just unplugged it for several days and thankfully when I plugged it back in it began to work properly. I would not purchase from this company again due to it\'s lack of response to my problem.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have had this ice maker for over two months now and I can say this was a purchase well worth the money. It’s very easy to use, but I would recommend wiping it out first and then doing a few rounds of throwaway ice to clean out any manufacturing chemical residue. I have used distilled water in it but the ice didn’t come out clear - not sure why, but it’s not a huge sticking point with me. I also don’t really see a difference in size between the small and large cube setting. I will say that that it is loud when it dispenses a batch of ice, but I’ve gotten used to it. Our fridge ice maker tends to sporadically go on the fritz so this has been a great backup to have, because it churns out ice at a healthy pace. We keep it in our basement bar so it will be great for having guests over down there (whenever that will be when things go back to normal). It is amazingly fast at making ice - the first batch comes out in like 10 min after turning it on. I have seen reviews here saying that ice doesn’t last long inside it once it’s been made but I have run it for 24 hours straight without taking ice out and found that it only melted slightly. You aren’t going to be able to fill a cooler with its output but it will definitely help keep the drinks flowing. Bottom line: I highly recommend this ice maker.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I contacted them because it took hours to fill the basket. I\'ve had 15 email exchanges since October 6. They had me run it different ways, timing things, counting cubes. This last round they said run it for 2.5 hours. that\'s the first picture. Then they said run for 45 minutes. That\'s the second. Now they said they\'re sorry, implied that\'s the expected time, and offered me 20 bucks. They won\'t admit that there\'s an issue. This is exactly what they wrote to me: "Generally, it takes about 2.5 hours to make ice for the first time. After the temperature cools down, a basket of ice cubes can be made in about one and a half hour" I sent them a copy of their literature stating it was between 8 and 13 minutes per batch. They didn\'t respond.\n\nI bought this to use for parties. What good will it do me to have 2 cups of ice in over 2 hours? You might as well run to the store... And save a hundred bucks.\n\nI understand that sometimes you get a bad machine. But don\'t make me prove it with pictures, videos and emails - then try to tell me it\'s just fine, but throw me 20 bucks. The thing is a huge waste of counter real estate that doesn\'t even work. They don\'t stand by their product.'}]
