EUHOMY Ice Cube Maker Machine Countertop with External Water Tank, 2 Ways to Add Water, 34Lbs/Day, 16Pcs Ready in 7 Mins, Auto-Cleaning, with Ice Scoop & Basket, for Home/Kitchen/Office/Bar (Black)

The refrigerator ice maker crashed years ago, and I wasn't inclined to spend a lot of money on it. Since then, we buy two big bags of ice and run through them in a week, often still needing a couple of ice trays. In South Texas the two of use a lot of ice and would have liked to have used more but for fear of running out. No fears like than now. I think this machine could keep up with a large family in a warm climate, so long as someone kept the water tank filled. The product has been exceeding expectations. I can fill the old ice maker bucket every day with ease. I'll probably only run it all day about every third day. I could easily make and bag a LOT of ice for an event. I had increased the ice making time which is how you increase thickness, but have cut it back. At the maximum time, the sheet part of the ice that connects the cubes was too thick and hard to break. I cut the time back, and it makes blocks that fall apart when I drop them in the freezer bucket. It has reliably suspended operation when the bin is full and started right back up when it was emptied. And stopped when the water tank ran out and started when it was filled. I was easily able to force an ice dump. You can certainly hear it. Some compared it to their dishwasher. Maybe they had quiet dishwashers, but it's not nearly so loud as the last dishwasher I owned years ago. It's only a bit louder than the microwave. The ice has been high quality, pretty clear with just water from a Brita pitcher filter. This is in every way easier and more efficient than I expected. The ice bin will fill up long before there's much melt. It keeps frozen well, considering that the bin is not refrigerated.

Love this machine. Will buy again if mine quits working. Make great cubed ice. Makes different thickness of ice, I put it on 3 and takes about 13 minutes to complete a cycle and it makes 16 cubes. Use purified water. Clean occasionally with vinegar. Love love this one.

So, the product works fine. It makes great ice! Except for the first round when starting the machine, the ice is virtually clear and definitely makes a difference in the appearance in cocktails or whiskey (etc). The ice thickness is settable. I found that a 3 or 4 suited my needs. I was able to run the "self clean" feature, make ice in different thicknesses and empty it when I was done. All in all, I would buy this again. For the money, it's a nice tool to have. The reason for the 4 stars is that I found the instructions hard to follow. It's almost like they tried to make these instructions difficult, because there are about a bazillion other ways that would have been more clear and about a quarter of those; more concise. Some detail notes: 1. This is not freezer and will NOT indefinitely store the ice it makes. It makes ice. The frozen ice helps to maintain the cubes, but they will start to melt. The warmer the ambient outside machine temperature, the faster this will happen. Recommend to harvest the ice placing it your freezer as soon as the ice making cycle completes. The melting ice water is recycled through the machine to make more ice, but it makes ice faster than it melts - at least at 70 degrees F. 2. It comes with a scoop for the ice, but not sure why that is necessary. 3. It makes approximately 16, 1 inch cubes at a time. At level 4, I found these to be solid cubes. Level 3 had a slight indent on the top of the cube. 4. The ice is solid, not crunchy at level 3 or 4. I didn't test it at a lower setting, but if you're looking for "crunchy" "bullet/pebble" ice, this isn't the machine for you. They sell those machines, but it is a different machine.

I really like this machine. It makes nice size cubes and they melt alot slower than my previous ice maker. Additionally, I really like the tank on the top, the machine controls the amount of water in the reservoir so the water does not touch the ice. It is very easy to setup and select the size (density) of the cubes and runs very quiet. I researched many others and this maker was the best buy for the options. The maker is solid and appears to be of good quality.

Love this ice maker. As long as you remember that it is not a cooler and does not keep the ice frozen once it is made. We purchased this because we use a lot of ice in the summer. We make ice daily and freeze in plastic bags. It kicks out a lot of ice in a couple of hours. Took it camping and never had to purchase ice. Every time it filled up, we emptied in the cooler.

I keep this machine outside (outdoor kitchen) and it runs 24/7, I clean it weekly and the ice keeps coming out. It makes ice machine noise not loud at all.

One Star - Loud, Sticky Ice, and Misleading Advertising I purchased this countertop ice cube maker hoping for a convenient way to have ice on hand, but unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. The first thing I noticed was the noise level. This machine is significantly louder than I expected – it's quite disruptive and not something you'd want running while trying to have a conversation or relax nearby. Even more frustrating is the quality of the ice. Instead of individual cubes, the ice consistently freezes together into one large, solid mass. It's incredibly difficult to break apart, making it inconvenient to actually use the ice. This defeats the purpose of having a quick and easy ice solution. Furthermore, the advertising was misleading. The product description and images suggested that the machine would produce ice in different shapes, but mine only produces one standard shape. This was a feature I was looking forward to, so it's quite disappointing that it wasn't as advertised. Finally, the ice cubes are not clear. They come out cloudy, which isn't a major issue for functionality, but it does speak to the overall quality of the ice produced. Overall, I cannot recommend this ice cube maker. The excessive noise, the inconveniently large and stuck-together ice, and the misleading advertising make this a purchase I regret. I would advise potential buyers to look for alternative options.

Almost great. I like that you can customize the ice and it looks like it would be easy to clean. However the ice forms into a sheet and the machine itself is very loud when making ice.
