ecozy Nugget Ice Maker Countertop, Smart Pebble Ice Machine with APP Control, 44 lbs Per Day Soft Pellet Chewable Ice with Self-Cleaning, Stainless Steel

This is such a great ice maker for such a low price, my spouse and I absolutely love it and can't really go without it now. It works so well and makes ice so quickly. Easy to fill up and just easy in general. I love this thing. I've had it about a month now and use it all day every day and it still is working perfectly. It also came with a big sheet of cute/hilarious stickers, some of them have nothing to do with ice makers whatsoever but the brand must make other things besides this and just put a sticker sheet in anything they send lol, it's a cute touch though. We put one of the stickers on the machine and it looks like it belongs there. You do need to buy de-scaler/cleaner for it, the ice will start tasting weird if you don't clean it out and cycle some water through it afterwards. The only small complaint is that I wish there was a place to put the scoop, we just have to set it on our counter. At least it does stand upright, the end of the handle is flat so you can stand it up next to the machine. It would just be nice if there were a different spot on the machine for it to go. Other than that, I love this! It gets me drinking water wayyyy more than I usually would... I have a hard time drinking water if it's not cold and now that we have this I'm drinking ice water constantly. Oh, also the machine is a tiny bit on the loud side, I really don't mind though at all, it doesn't bother me. My spouse had been worried before it was delivered that it would be annoyingly loud and she says it doesn't bother her either, it's not as bothersome as she thought it would be.

Owning the other model of this ice maker I can say that this upgrade was totally worth it. Ecozy really hit the mark with this one.While still making the same quality pellet ice, several of the issues I had with the previous model have been addressed.Not only was it a chore to add water to the other model, it seemed like I was adding water every time we took ice.With the removable tank, adding water is not only easier as you no longer need to remove the ice bucket but it's also less frequent because the tank holds close to 2 liters.The way the ice drops into the bin now, when the full light is on, it truly means the bin is full and not just time to redistribute the mountain of ice that builds up in the center. After turning on the ice maker in about an hour I have a full bin of ice without the ice shuffle every 10 minutes.Finally the extra insulation that comes from setting the ice bucket back a bit does allow the ice to melt more slowly. However that seems to cause the ice to block up a bit and requires a little chopping with the scoop to break it up after sitting for a bit. This doesn't seem to happen with the other one, but is not that big of a deal as it breaks up easily.

We love the ice cream it makes it pretty quickly. It is easy to use. The reason for a 4 is it doesn’t keep the ice frozen. We dump it into our ice bin in our freezer. It freezes together and makes a giant chunk that we have to break apart. For the price, it should be a little freezer for the ice also.

This ice maker checks all the boxes. Been running it daily for a few weeks now and no issues so far. I love how the drain plug is towards the front on the bottom, so you can just pull forward to the counter edge and drain into a pan easily. Draining is needed after you run the cleaning cycle. The unit has a very good footprint, so it doesn't take up too much counter space. Buttons are clearly marked and the display tells you what it's doing and when to add water. Color and style is nice, seems well built. It holds about 5 cycles worth of ice which is plenty. If gearing up for a party, just dump into an cooler and keep making more ice. Also, it's very quiet. I couldn't be happier.

Purchased for my daughter. Works great! Makes ice very quickly, faster then my Frigidaire.

Okay let me start with the whole idea of having a countertop ice maker sounds really cool! In reality it's just really not functional and is a gimmick! Don't get me wrong it will make ice within 6 to 7 minutes. But the quality of ice is lacking seriously! Even on the larger size Ice Cube it is very small! Smaller than the average normal Ice Cube! Along with that the Ice Cube comes out very very wet and not very frozen like a normal Ice Cube! Using the ice cubes will result in any drink to be deluded being that it melts very fast! Even if you have a beverage that has been in the refrigerator it melts quickly watering down your beverage! If you're going to use this ice for anything that has not been refrigerated beforehand it will melt immediately and leave you nothing but watered down or diluted beverage! As the basket gets slightly full the ice cubes at the bottom are literally melting away to nothing and the water from the melting is being recycled to make new ice cubes that are already melting coming out! I let the machine continue on to try to make a full basket of ice only to bag the ice to put in the freezer. That resulted in one big block of what looks like frozen melted ice being that the ice cubes are so wet coming out of the basket they all freeze together in one big block of ice! Yeah the concept seems really cool yet it's nothing more than a gimmick! Probably will be sending it back for a refund. Additionally the basket storage area is not well insulated so yes the ice melts even quicker being that it's not refrigerated or keeping cold! If you're intending to use these for alcoholic beverages probably not the best decision! If you're a bourbon or whiskey Drinker and like ice in your drink this will seriously water it down very very fast. That goes basically for anything you put this ice in even if it's been chilled or served at room temperature! I'm not all down on countertop ice makers yet I think one as this is is very cheap and you get what you pay for something that does not work very well at all! I would give it serious thinking to purchase this and waste your time resulting with wet ice and watered down beverage drinks! Oh yeah I live in Florida too and have my air conditioning on inside the house. So if you're going to use this Outdoors or in a warm house forget about it.
