VIVOHOME Electric Portable Compact Countertop Automatic Ice Cube Maker Machine with Hand Scoop and Self Cleaning Function 26lbs/Day Black

My ice maker in my Fridge quit working and the endless trips for ice were getting old. I finally broke down and bought this ice maker and it comes in very handy!!Ice, Ice, Wonderful Ice!! It’s making ice all the time. You do have to empty the bin, it stops when it’s full, I just store all my ice in the freezer. There are 2 sized of ice pellet’s S & L. The ice maker is super fast. Literally 5 minutes and the 1st drop of cubes is ready,Just keep the water full, and empty the bin and it will make ice constantly.It stops when full, extremely quiet, I put mine in the nook by the fridge on the floor. Fit great, has plenty of space, and doesn’t take up counter space.After some use you will see sediment form in the bottom and it will need to be be cleaned. Do NOT follow the instructions in the book or you will be returning your broken machine. Drain the water. Use a microfiber cloth with a touch of bleach to clean out any sediment or ick & dirt. Clean all the parts you can reach. Don’t spray water inside or fill up an drain. It will stop working.Also, these only work about a year. I’m on my third. Eventually the components inside just stop cooperating with each other. It will cycle but it will not draw up water to make ice. You will know it’s about to go out when the ‘full’ light starts coming on when the machine is empty. Some tricks to keep pit going a little longer are to unplug it for an hour or so, and closer to the very end, you may have to lightly kick it it to get it to realize it is actually empty so it will make ice. Not long after this stage, it will die.It is still very Easy to set up, Easy to Use, and I highly recommend for a 1 year machine‼️

Works great makes a lot of ice during a day. It does need some type of a audible alarm that tells you when it’s full

Function and finish are perfect. The unit was packed well and parts were secured during transit. I was hesitant to use for a couple days while the refrigerant settled and compressor stabilized during transport because it gave me time to read the "Refrigerant could explode" claims too many times.With room temp water, and I strongly suggest using a filter like zero water, it takes about 8 min for your first batch of 8 cylindrical ice nuggets to be made. Even on large ice you'll need a few cycles for that first drink.Nuggets are frozen, but barely. Noise level is very low during the freezing cycles but it's very loud when it drops them into a tray to be mechanically shoveled into the smallish bin. My dog hates the noise it makes during the collection cycle.You'll get 3-4 full ice bins to every water fill. Ice melts back into water reservoir to be recycled. It stops when it's full, IR sensor beam broken, and starts up again when the IR sensor path is unbroken again (ex. Ice melts). I let it run continuously and it will always have a full bin and the ice making process gets down to 4-5 min. A full bin is suitable for 4-5 8oz glasses of ice.Worth every penny but it's not a solid 5 star.

I purchased this ice maker to supplement the refrigerator's ice making capacity since we go through a lot of ice. This ice maker makes perfect 'large' ice cubes that are great for chewing after finishing your drink. Although it is not quiet the noise quickly becomes unnoticeable background white noise. The ice maker is very sturdy and well made except for the ice basket and the scoop which are made of cheap plastic which does not stand up do normal daily usage. The left handle on my ice maker broke within 6 months and the scoop has a chip in it since it is not made to stand up to the 'harder' ice. All in all, if I can super glue the handle or get a replacement ice basket then it is an excellent purchase.

This is a great ice maker. No doubt. I love it. But, after 2.5 years, it's started leaking like crazy from the bottom and the ice doesn't form as great as it used to.So, now, I have a decision to make: buy a new one or see about repairing whatever the problem is. 2.5 years .. as we say "They sure don't make things the way they used to "

This ice maker makes the best soft, chewy ice. My daughter gave to me as a gift and I love it. I have low iron and constantly eat ice all day and night. It’s fills up quick and the ice is exactly as it describes. It is made very well and easy to clean. It has a cleaning cycle :). It is very heavy but I still travel with it because I can’t find ice like this in stores. If you love soft and chewy ice this is the machine for you!

I bought my ice maker 3 years ago and this was such an unbelievable waste of money. I desperately wish I had sent it back within the 30 days but I was really hoping it was user error and I could fix it… but nope.First of all, no matter what I did to clean it, the ice machine smelled like dirt and plastic from day one and that’s EXACTLY what the ice tastes like.The basket that holds the ice is tiny and holds enough for like 2-3 drinks so I hope you don’t need drinks for more than 2-3 people at a time. Another issue with the basket is that it does not sit in its spot correctly. Because of that, there is constantly… no ice. It sounds like it’s making ice and then you go over and look and nothing because the basket makes the sensor think it’s full when it’s empty.After 2 years it stopped working at all. It just makes noise like it’s making ice but it doesn’t.Biggest waste of money. Takes up WAYYYYY TOO MUCH SPACE for what little ice you’ll get out of it. It also doesn’t keep a temp cold enough for the ice to stay frozen.

Great compact size for counter top. It makes ice amazingly fast and in a choice of sizes. I would definitely recommend this ice maker.

Very nice unit. Ice in less than 5 minutes. We use at the lake and keep it outside and only turn off at night. Fill the reservoir and forget it. Great ice maker. Highly recommend
