I'm huge on ice. An ice fanatic, if you will. Big fan. HUGE fan of ice. And yes, I have a history of iron deficiency, but even when my iron levels are on point, I just love ice. Any time of year. I bundle up in the winter and lay on heating pads so that I can have ice to my heart's content without perishing of hypothermia. I used to keep a list on my phone of the restaurants with the best ice, or the gas stations that sold my favorite brand of bagged iced. It's truly insane. But I'm otherwise normal, promise.We don't have a fridge with a functioning ice maker, so I was buying bagged ice at least 3-4x per week to have and to munch on. Eventually I realized that if I found a decent ice maker, it would pay for itself eventually. AND BOY HAS IT! If this machine ever dies, I will absolutely repurchase, immediately. I may buy a backup so I never have to go without, truly.PROS:- Such a great product for the price! It paid for itself (by me no longer buying bagged ice) in like 2 months. I believe when I purchased it, it was discounted pretty significantly which was the cherry on top. But even the regular sale price is super fair for the product.- The ice itself is the biggest pro. Oh my god, the ice. It is officially my favorite ice in the world - topping all the restaurants and bagged ice brands and airlines that I once ranked lol. It is soft but not too soft, and shaped my favorite way (bullets/ovals with holes in the middle). It's so good.- Set up and instructions were super easy.- You can choose small or large sized ice (although I always choose large)- The machine is fairly quick to churn it out - the only times it seemed slow was before I had it for long enough to have collected a stockpile in my freezer.- It's pretty quiet (although, if you are nearby and forget you have it on, the sound of the ice dropping may startle you!)- It isn't very imposing, doesn't take up a ton of surface area and doesn't really catch the eye when you enter the kitchen.- It can take about 64 oz of water at a time. I have the machine right beside my Vitamix, so I just fill the vitamix with water, pour it into the ice maker, and then am good for a while.CONS/Room for Improvement - and I'm being detailed with this but personally, these are all things I'm not altogether fussed about given the trade-off but I know it may matter to others!- The piece that holds the collected ice is big enough to completely fill a cup of mine that holds about 32oz of water. Once it is full, it stops producing ice until it is emptied or has melted down enough to make room to produce more. When I forget to turn it off, I come home to a chamber that was definitely once full, but the ice that has now melted down is positioned in such a way that it still registers as being full even though, with a shake, it's really only half-filled by that point. I'd be happy with a bigger chamber, but honestly the fact that it fills the cup I always use is kind of perfect. If I was fighting others for ice, this may be a bigger deal to me.- When it needs more water, it makes a sound where you know it's trying to run to produce more ice but can't draw up water. I think it'd be a nice touch if it powered off or had some sort of sensor to prevent the motor from continuing to try to make ice until you refill it - similar to the 'ice full' sensor.- If you are stocking up your freezer, you do have to empty out the container yourself. Which leads to some drippage on the floor. It takes a large amount of these trips from machine to freezer to fully fill up the freezer's ice box. And because the ice is soft and wet, it often really clumps together in the ice box so my husband and I have to take turns hacking away at it with a knife so that it breaks apart enough to be able to dispense through our fridge's ice dispenser. I've seen others say they bag it, and as it freezes into one big mass they break it up on the ground like you would bagged ice - which is a solid solution, unless you're filling your freezer's ice box so that it can move through the dispenser like we do.- Ice texture is different the first few times it drops after turning it on, or when it fully empties of water and you completely refill it for some reason? Hard to explain, but after a couple cycles it goes back to perfection. Not a huge deal to me.- Once turning it on, it takes probably...45ish mins (give or take) to fully fill the chamber.- The chamber itself is not chilled, however the collection of ice keeps itself cold for a good while before it starts melting. A completely full container will take at least an hour or two before it is noticeably smaller in size.- It's not really the ice's fault but I prefer the ice straight from the machine over the stockpile I keep in my freezer. Once in the freezer, it (obviously) really solidifies and loses the satisfying softness! So my favorite thing to do is have enough in the freezer for if we have company (or if it is the summer time and my ice consumption is faster than the machine), and otherwise use it straight from the machine!- Because there's work involved with manning the ice maker (work I am happy to do for the payoff), if we are going to fill anything aside from a really small cooler, we will still buy bagged ice for that.

Mein Mann hat es im Dezember von mir geschenkt bekommen und liebt es heiß und innig. Es gibt zwei verschiedene Größen und die Eiswürfel sind schnell hergestellt. Ein Hingucker bei jeder Zusammenkunft von Freunden und Familie.

excelente

Wir sind zufrieden mit dieser Maschine

Schnelle Lieferung gut verpackt.Macht was es soll.

Die Maschine ist super, wenn man auf kühle Getränke steht. Bei Partys läuft sie immer im Hintergrund, man sollte aber dann einen kleinen Eiswürfelbehälter haben, wo die länger haltbar sind. Ein Stern Abzug gibt es, weil ein großer Aufkleber vom Kühlmittel auf der Seite drauf ist, der nicht weggeht, zerstört ziemlich die Optik.

Bin sehr überrascht wie gut das Produkt ist und hat mich zu 100 % überzeugt und will es nicht mehr missen!

Fungerar mycket bra.

A máquina é bastante rápida a produzir os gelos, mas s cubos de gelo são pequenos, mesmo no tamanho maior ; o gelo não é suficientemente sólido e a máquina não mantém os gelos já feitos por muito tempo.

Gefällt mir sehr gut leise und nach einem tag vorlauf gab es schon sehr gute Ergebnisse .

Ich dachte lange, das Gerät rentiert sich doch nicht. Aber ich wurde nach dem Kauf und mehreren Einsätzen eines besseren belehrt. Bei den ersten 3 Durchgänge sind die Eiswürfel noch kleiner, wobei Eiswürfel der falsche Begriff ist. Die Cubs haben Produktions bedingt , Wasser gefriert an die Finger der Maschine , ein Loch in der Mitte. Durch das Loch schmelzen Sie natürlich schneller als richtig Würfel. Da aber alle 8 Minuten 9 Cubs entstehen ist es okay. Achtung, gleich sehr kaltes Wasser einfüllen. Und bei Geburtstagsfeier oder Partys die Maschine einfach schon eine halbe Stunde vorher einschalten.

Excelente artefacto. Es tardado hacer hielitos y en verano en sonora, mexico se derriten con velocidad si no los sacas rápido.
