Silonn Ice Maker Countertop, 9 Cubes Ready in 6 Mins 26lbs in 24Hrs, Self-Cleaning Ice Machine with Ice Scoop and Basket, 2 Sizes of Bullet Ice for Home Kitchen Office Bar Party, Black

I’ve had this little ice maker for a little over a month and it does a great job. It’s very quiet until the ice drops, but even then it’s not very loud. Super easy to clean with the self cleaning setting which it recommends to do every other week. I recommend popping the ice out once it’s made and throwing it into a large freezer bag for storage. Don’t bother trying to place it into some other container as this will just freeze into a solid block of ice. Freezer bag works great and you can drop it on a hard countertop and all the ice will be separated and ready to throw in a beverage.

I have had this icemaker since September 2022. I am very happy with it and so thrilled that I no longer have to go buy bags of ice. And if I fill the ice bucket that I keep in my freezer with ice from that machine, I don’t have to make ice again for quite a while. But I decided it was probably better to keep using the ice machine on a regular basis. So every day or every other day I go ahead and run one batch of ice by filling it with water to the fill line. When it’s finished making ice out of that water, I put it on standby. And depending on how fast I use that ice I may not make ice the next day. But I probably run it every other day because you just pour the water in it and walk away. Pretty simple to use. Like I said, I think it’s probably better to run it pretty often rather than let it sit for a longer period of time. I will fill my ice bucket if I am expecting company so that I don’t run out of ice. But the great thing is if you do run out of ice, you pour water in it in and in about six minutes it makes a batch of nine cubes and in about 35 minutes it makes a basket full of ice. So you can have more ice really fast if you need it. One thing that might be a little deceiving and they don’t really address it in the description of it. You need to empty the ice basket as soon as it gets full and put it in the freezer immediately. This machine is not a freezer or even really a refrigerator. it makes the ice and dumps it into the basket, but it will melt if you don’t empty the basket and put it in your freezer. Probably works on the same idea as even the large icemakers that you see in restaurants. It’s just a bin full of ice, and if left there for too long, it will melt. so as soon as it stops making ice you need to dump that ice into a bucket in your freezer. Like I said, it’s a great little machine and I love it. My refrigerator never had an icemaker in it.

I've had this ice maker in use for several days now, and I'm very happy with how it performs. I use distilled water to get the best ice, but tap water works nearly as well. The cubes come out nice and clear due to the flowing water as they freeze. The machine regulates itself, so just leave it on, and it will cycle as needed to keep the bin full. Some ice will melt over time, but the water will be recycled into new cubes. The cubes fall out as an array, but poke at them with the scoop and they will easily break apart. The machine does make some noise when running, but it's not very loud and since it's in the kitchen, it's not a problem if it runs in the middle of the night.The unit seems to be well made, and it has stainless steel molds which won't have plating detachment issues as I've read about on other unit's reviews. Other ice makers that produce cloudy ice or mush ice trap the minerals, and will taint the taste of your beverage. Clear ice is the purest and best!Pay attention to the instruction to let it sit 24 hours after setting it up, before you plug it in and turn it on. During shipment and unpacking, the unit may be tilted enough to allow the compressor oil to end up in places other than the crankcase. Letting it sit allows the oil to return to the crankcase. If you plug it in too soon, it could damage the compressor.

Great product, make a lot of ice fast. Just sometimes doesn't stop when full and tries to make more causing an ice jamb.Other than that, it's great

The media could not be loaded. In ordered three ice makers in December. Two were Christmas gifts for my mom and sister and I ordered one for myself. There have been issues with all three. The first one had to be replacement, as it would not make ice at all. In February, my sisters started making a noise. I reached out to the seller, who requested that I try to clean it and gave me instructions on how and what to use. I did as instructed. After cleaning, I never heard a noise but the machine would make one batch of ice and then stop. I reached back out to the seller. Who asked for a video, model number and invoice. I provided everything except a video, as it would not upload into the messages. I requested an email address to send the video to. The seller asked that I send the video to the email address on the back of the manual. Now, my ice machine has stopped working correctly since yesterday. It would make a batch then cut off. Today, I turned it back on and it started making this weird noise and the ice that it did produce was shaved ice looking. After a while it made a loud, awful noise and just shut completely off. To say I am extremely disappointed is an understatement. And the frustrating part is the back and forth between the seller. I plan to call the company tomorrow and I have video evidence of the issues with each machine that I can and will gladly email. I say all of this to say, I strongly suggest going in a different direction when deciding what machine to purchase. I purchased this machine because it had good reviews. However, my experience has been extremely disappointing. I am posting video with my review.

It makes ice really fast and its a money saver, no more buying bags

I’ve had this for a year now. I use it frequently in the spring summer and fall. It has held up fantastic. I love being able to have ice within a short period of time. I usually make 3 or 4 big ziplock bags of ice at a time.
