Igloo Handled Portable Ice Maker with Scoop - Ice Maker with LED Control Panel & 1 Quart Water Tank - Ice Cube Maker Produces 26 Lbs. of Ice in 24 Hours with 9 Large or Small Cubes In 7 Minutes- Black

After much research and review comparisons, I went ahead and decided to purchase this ice machine. It was a cheaper option compared to the $300+ machines out there and had the most positive reviews. I definitely see why. It's been several months now and it has been working like it should. The ice comes out great and within 6-8 minutes you get 9 chewable ice, igloo shaped. It fills up a 1 gallon bag in no time. Even after you freeze em, if you let it sit a minute or 2 they can still be chewable. I also appreciate the different color choices. It doesn't take up much counter space and the noise level is low. Just a slight humming sound, like white noise. I really love this machine and encourage others who are seeking out an easy to use and quick ice machine at low cost, to purchase this as well.

Great value! Installation & directions straightforward. Quick ice production. Self-cleaning process is a must for these!

Absolutely love this ice maker. However, it jams a lot. After making two batches of ice it shuts off. I have to reboot the machine.

I was going to leave a bad review, but after using it a few times, I figured out how to get the best from this little machine. What I learned is that it takes a couple of cycles before the machine is operating at its best. So, the first few dumps, I just let the ice fall back into the water reservoir. After that, this thing hums along and makes perfect ice. It works much, much better than my freezer ice maker or filling ice trays. Plus I can use filtered water (which I highly recommend). Every four or five cycles, I gently shake the water out of the basket and dump the basket into my freezer ice reservoir. I use the scoop to stir the ice around in my freezer to keep it from sticking together. I just let the ice maker run for two or three hours and I have enough to last me a week or two. If I get distracted with something and the basket fills up, it will shut down and wait for me to empty it. The ice can be in there for a while without melting. Very happy with this ice maker.

Update 12-22 2:13 PM I called Amazon tech support. After a half an hour conversation in which the person tried to tell me it was out of the return window (it was less than a day old) and forgot what the problem was. I was on hold for a long time. Then she said that I would need to speak with the company rep, Nico. Nico told me that he cold not help me without a serial number. There is no serial number on the unit anywhere. He said it was on a sticker on the box but there was no sticker. For another half an hour I tried to get help. There must be a serial number on the device. I believe it is It is the law. There isn't. This is an electronic problem that cannot be repaired without replacing a board. This is clear. It needs to be exchanged. I have my purchase record. He says no. This is made by Intertek but I was only able to talk to 2 people who knew nothing. I suspect that this was a return for "defective" that was resold with the serial number removed. Now what? My previous unit was sold as Vivohome and is the same as this one. I got a refund. Received 12-21 2:30 PM I bought this as a replacement for another, cheaper brand that proved defective. It appears very similar in size and shape except that the controls are in a different place. Internally they are the same! This one has the same problem as the other brand. The Ice Full sensor does not work and it keeps trying to cram more ice into the bin until it backs up and jams

Early days, works well.

I bought this for my daughter to put in her bedroom so she wouldn't have to go back to the kitchen for ice for a drink while in the bath or watching late night TV. It WORKS! Its amazing! You put water in it, plug it in and turn it on. In 7 or 8 minutes.... Clunk clunk clunk.... IT MAKES ICE! About 8 or 9 small cubes. Yeah, they're not as big as you will find in your kitchen freezer, but... great for a drink or two! NOW... the ONLY strange downside --- there is no 'freezer compartment' in this little device, beyond the one that MAKES the ice. The ice drops down into a small tray, and then..... and then..... it MELTS! It melts back into the hopper/container for WATER! And... it goes around again and makes ice again! So... after a while, it picks up dirt, dust, germs, spores, mold, whatever is floating around in the air, and puts it back into the ice. ; Same ice same water, over and over! But if you grab and use the first few batches, or replace the water with clean water often, you should be OKay!

This Igloo ice maker was decent while it lasted. I’ve had it for a little over a year and the elements won’t cool any longer. I feel it had a short lifespan for the price.

A beautiful machine.

Funciona al 50% tarda demasiado para hacer unos 9 hielos aprox 15 min y son muy pequeños y los pequeños son aún más pequeños la verdad la compré por el precio de haber sabido que no funcionaba bien la devolvería sin embargo ya pasó el periodo de prueba de 30 días , no la recomendó
