EUHOMY Countertop Ice Maker Machine with Handle, 26lbs in 24Hrs, 9 Ice Cubes Ready in 6 Mins, Auto-Cleaning Portable Ice Maker with Basket and Scoop, for Home/Kitchen/Camping/RV. (Black)

I have various physical ailments that make it extremely painful to use ice trays, and my fridge doesn't have an ice maker. So I was looking at ice makers and decided to give this machine a try. And I am extremely glad that I did. The machine "Just Works." Fill the reservoir with clean good quality water (I use filtered water from a filter pitcher), hit the power button, and within 6-10 minutes you'll have your first ice cubes. I live alone and this machine easily makes enough ice to satisfy my daily needs. Every night before bed, I empty the tank and dry it out with paper towels, then in the morning after I've had breakfast and coffee, I fill it and start it up. By the time lunchtime rolls around I've got a good supply of ice, which lasts me throughout the day. If you have a large family (say, 2-3 or more people) or want to use it to make lots of ice for parties, etc., then you'll probably want to look at a bigger model. However if it's just you (and maybe one other person) then this machine is more than big enough. It is noisy but not horribly so. If you were sitting right next to it all day, it might get on your nerves, but I normally don't hang out in my kitchen so it's not a problem. Note that the first 2-3 baskets full you make will taste a little bit plasticky, even if you wash the inside of the machine as directed, so either throw them out or melt them and use them to water plants or whatever. Very happy with this purchase, and I highly recommend it if you are in the need for one.

So far, so good. I've used this ice maker all day long, every day for 2 weeks while on a leave from work. It makes ice as described. We had a similar ice maker before. The ice in this one is less wet when dumping into a container in the freezer. It's also relatively quiet. I'm really pleased with this pink ice maker. I may buy one for my office.

Will start with the pros:It does make the cubes rather quickly.It does stop when basket is full.It does stop when out of water...It truly works awesome, makes cubes and the cubes apparently made to fit into a regular 16 oz bottle of water....Cons:Again works great, it just takes time to collect enough cubes to store for future use, if you're gonna need a large quantity of ice...But, overall, awesome for a single or couple who just want to make small batches and take the time to just keep running the ice maker until you get the desired amount you want..... its a great investment...I'm not saying its the best or worst ice maker, but for the cost and its ease of use and its ability to make ice, its a very acceptable machine...

This is a great ice maker! It makes ice every 7 minutes, so the freeze speed is pretty impressive to me! It’s great for my iced coffees too! The machine is portable with a handle which is awesome so you can take it on the go.The only thing I didn’t realize when buying this is that once the ice basket is full, you need to use the ice or put it in your freezer. It doesn’t hold the ice long term, rather it melts over time and new ice is made. I would still buy it again though.Great little machine!

The ice maker went out in the freezer, necessitating a temporary fix for our ice creation problem- and this one ROCKS!! Keep in mind, this is not a freezer - it creates ice... period. If the maker recognizes the ice basket is full - it turns on the warning light and stops. Use some of the ice and it goes back to work. If it runs low on water, it stops (of course) and turns on the warning light for that. Refill the water reservoir, cycle the power and it goes back to work. There is a drain in the bottom to drain/change the water so DON'T tip it to empty it! It needs to sit upright 24 hours when you receive it or if you tip it so the coolant will drain back to where it's supposed to be. (Otherwise, you could potentially blow up the internals if the liquid is in a vulnerable location.)I honestly don't know what the life expectancy is for an item like this, but it pays for itself pretty quickly when you consider buying ice for $2 per bag, and the ice tastes as good as your choice of bottled water (recommended). Speaking of life expectancy, ours ran non-stop, around the clock for 10 MONTHS before it quit. It likely only needs to get the dust blown out - common problem in our office - but I can't recommend this item more highly for speed and durability.

I waited a while to get several uses of this ice maker before leaving this review. I’ll state right up front that this thing has worked very well and exactly as it’s advertised to. It makes a decent amount of ice “cubes” (bullet shaped) and is relatively quiet. The first batch it makes at every start up are fairly small and I’m guessing this is probably something all machines of this type do. I usually will just dump the first one or two batches right back into the water reservoir. The more batches the machine makes the better the size of the ice. I store mine in a gallon slider zip bag and just toss it in the freezer. I keep a couple gallons of purified water on hand and use it for the ice (along with my coffee makers). The machine is easy to wipe down and drain after you’re done making ice. I’ve not needed to do any special cleaning yet, but I bought a bottle of ice maker cleaner for when I do. How long this thing will ultimately lasts is anyone’s guess, but I’ve been using it a few months now and it functions flawlessly.
