This is a fine ice maker. It creates little tubes of ice. The ice falls into a catch basin. The catch basin is directly over the water reservoir. The new ice bullets start melting as soon as they are created. The melt water falls into the water reservoir to be made into new ice bullets. I originally purchased a different make and model. I was disappointed in how big and heavy that other model was. I returned it an purchased this one. This has a modest footprint, like a very large toaster. It is lighter than the previous model I bought making it more portable. We are using it in our RV Travel Trailer. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small ice maker.
We purchased this Ice Maker to take with us camping. Went for 2 weeks and with the heat and humidity we endured, we only had to buy 4 bags of ice. Our machine produced the rest to keep our cooler full and drinks cold. We made 3 gallon freezer bags a day, or more if I really kept track and didn't enjoy the outdoors. My husband said it was one of the best purchases I have made in a long time and it has already paid for itself.
It's nice to have ice also it's quiet it's worth having and convenient
Very loud! It does make ice and reasonably fast.
Follow up: Except for the noise level, this is an outstanding icemaker. I put foam soundproofing where I could and this helps to make the noise tolerable. I love that the ice bucket is in the same place as the water fill. This means when the ice in the bucket melts a little the water goes into making more ice....instead of constantly needing draining and requiring a lot of "add water" (like my old icemaker).
If this company worked on the noise level, they would have the best icemaker on the market!
Love this ice maker. Only used it a few times when first purchased. However had it running continously since November 2017. Had no problems until yesterday. Was saying ice full with no ice. Before losimg all hope, it turns out the sensor on the sides of the machine just above the ice basket had water deposits on them, cleaned them off with an alcohol wipe, presto works fine. :) keeping m original 5 🌟as i guess over time this will happen.

Did not work. I waited all day for ice after letting the machine sit 3 hours after unpacking before plugging in as per instructions. Then waited another 3-4 hours after plugging in with still no ice. Just received Friday. It did travel from California to Florida. Maybe refrigerant got too hot, but still brand new. Maybe defective, but still over 100 dollars and not my fault. I have unplugged again for another 3 hours and hopefully that will work.
Update: Costway refunded my money quickly and dealt with the return promptly, and so did Amazon, within 2 days. I think I just had a defective unit probably damaged in shipping. Looks great and would love it if it had worked. Probably refrigerant damaged inside.
The color, design, and amount of ice produced were impressive. The machine is relatively quiet to run. The ice cubes come in two sizes, small and large. We choose the large size because even those are about half the size of what we used. The cubes are bullet shaped with a hole up the middle, making the ice is soft. This makes them great for crunching but not lasting long in room temperature drinks. The ice is produced and dumped into a waiting bin with an automatic shut-off when full. There is also an "add water" light to let you know when you need to add more water. I have to add that after the ice is made and added to the bin, there is nothing to prevent them from melting, bummer, the ice begins to melt.
Awesome appliance. Works well and is compact enough to not take up a lot of space on my counter. Produces a good amount of ice in a reasonable amount of time. Would buy again.
I am so glad that I bought this great ice maker. It is so convenient to have a ice maker at home, which you can drink ice coke and wine any time. Every time I struggle with buying ice at supermarket, I want to buy some ice but not the whole bag since I have no space for the huge bag. Now things become much easier, the size of the ice maker is just perfect, I lb for 2-3 days supply. I enjoy the ice without worrying about my limited space. And the process is so easy, just load the water and put the button, wait a little bit, ice cube will come out. By the way, you can also choose the size of the ice you want, convenient and sweet.
I bought this for my 87 year old father. There was no way to get a water line to his fridge for an ice maker so when I found out these counter top units were available I thought this would make a perfect Christmas gift for him. After unboxing the unit I cleaned according to the directions, filled it with water and in a matter if minutes it made the first batch of ice. He has ad it almost two months now and it is still working great. Now he can have iced tea instead of just tea.
