Review: Built well, and does just what it says - I've been using one of these for about 2 months, and so far, I love it. Considering it has an actual refrigeration compressor unit and not a gimmicky Peltier plate or something like that, I wasn't expecting much for such an affordable price, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's built well and does exactly what it claims to do. It really does produce a small batch of ice about every 6 minutes, and as long as you're there to attend to it, I don't doubt that it will make 26 lbs of ice per day as claimed. Pros: - Incredibly cheap ice. It uses about 100W while running, and makes about 1 lb per hour, so that's 10 lbs of ice for 1kWh of electricity. The national average for grid electricity is about 15 cents per kWh. A 10-lb bag of ice for 15 cents is only about 5% of what I pay at my local grocery store. - Small and quiet. Everyone will define "quiet" differently, but I'll just say that it wasn't nearly as loud as I was expecting. It's significantly quieter than my dishwasher, and even in the same small room, doesn't disrupt conversation in the slightest. Only takes up about a square foot of counter space, too, although you'll want to leave some space around the fans on the side so it can cool itself adequately. - Portable. I plan to pack this along regularly in my teardrop trailer. I have 800W of solar panels on the roof, so this won't make a dent in my power usage, and it's free ice anywhere I go. No need to find a gas station or anything - I can just convert sunlight to ice on demand. Pretty cool. Cons: - Since this lives on the countertop and not inside the freezer, it requires somewhat frequent attention. Personally, I don't really mind that at all - I just set an alarm on my phone and check in on it once per hour or so, and usually find a full bin of ice ready to transfer into the freezer - but I would imagine some people would find this annoying. It's inherent to the design, though, so if you want an automatic ice maker, save up and buy an automatic ice maker. - Ice sometimes blocks the "bin full" sensor before the bin is actually full. This pauses the machine until you push the little stragglers into the bin. Just a minor annoyance, nothing more. - The ice it makes is somewhat low-density, and with a relatively high surface area, so it melts a bit faster in a drink than the type you'd usually buy at a grocery store or gas station. If you're particular about that, I'd imagine you've already discovered the large silicone ice cube trays that make huge cubes of ice that melt very slowly. I'd use those if you don't want your drink to get watered-down too quickly.
Review: No More Bagged Ice — This Ice Machine Replaced It *Video & Photos* - I bought this ice maker for my dad, who is a charter boat captain, and it completely solved a daily problem for him. He ended up enjoying it so much, I purchased a counter top ice maker for my own house 😆 Before this, he was constantly stopping to buy bags of ice before trips. It was expensive, sometimes unavailable, and honestly, the quality wasn’t always great. Now, he can make his own ice at home or bring this unit with him on the boat — no more last-minute stops or unreliable bagged ice. This machine works fast. It produces a batch of ice (about 6 cubes) in roughly 8 minutes and can make over 25 lbs of ice per day, which is more than enough for his needs. You can choose between two ice sizes, and the cubes have a hollow center. The texture is actually one of the best parts — they’re slightly soft (great if you like chewable ice) but still solid enough to last a long time. In a good insulated tumbler, the ice holds up extremely well. The machine is very easy to operate. Just add water and press start to begin. It’s also compact and easy to place. It stands just under a foot tall, about 9 inches wide, and roughly 10.5 inches deep, so it doesn’t take up much counter space. The handle makes it easy to move around as needed. Cleaning is simple — there’s a self-cleaning function that runs with the press of a button and takes about 30 minutes. Overall, this has been a huge upgrade for convenience, cost savings, and reliability. No more overpriced bags of ice, no weird taste, and no worrying about availability. It’s been a great investment, especially for someone who relies on ice daily. ⭐️I included a video of this ice maker in action, and some photos for reference!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it!
*by K***N on July 27, 2026*

So far so good. Works just as described, nice & quick. Ice is a bit wet when done & sticks together once in my freezer but I just bust it up before using it. I leave it open to dry out good in-between uses & have not had any problems. When going from small to large cubes, you have to let it cycle at least once to get the larger cubes. Not a problem for me though. I also use filtered water and get a quality ice. Makes consistent ice once it gets going.
