Silonn Ice Maker Countertop, Portable Ice Machine with Carry Handle, Self-Cleaning Ice Makers with Basket and Scoop, 9 Cubes in 6 Mins, 26 lbs per Day, Ideal for Home, Kitchen, Camping, RV

This is an update to earlier review. I had originally said this item was worthless and started a return. I was wtong to do so. The error was mine. This ice maker works amazingly well after I pushed the correct button. My eyesight was off. It makes ice in about 6 minutes and keeps making ice . It is quiet and the only thing you can hear clearly is when the ice drops. 1 thing to note. It says small and large ice. The size is the same. The large is just thicker

I love cold drinks with lots of ice, but I live in an area prone to tropical storms and flooding where "boil water" notices are frequent. So connecting an ice maker to a tap water source is ill-advised. Consequently, I was buying bags of ice at the store every week. With this unit I can use bottled water and make all the ice I want. It has been reliable so far, and has already paid for itself. I really like the bullet-shaped cubes. They melt slowly enough to keep drinks cold, yet crush more easily than large cubes or crescents when used in a blender. Although it wasn't a major factor in my purchase, I plugged the unit into an ECOFLOW portable power station and solar panel just to see how it functioned. It pulled 1.8 amps when making ice, and worked the same as it did on regular house current, confirming that I could use that setup to make ice while camping or during a power outage. Note: This is not a "set it and forget it" commercial ice maker. You fill the well with water, it makes 9 cubes about every six minutes, and dumps them into a basket (and yes, that makes some noise, of course). That basket is in an insulated compartment, but it's not refrigerated, so if you leave the ice in it as shown in the product photos, it will eventually start to melt (the water drips back into the well). With that in mind, I usually make ice while I'm a watching a game on TV or something, so I can get up and dump each batch of ice into a container in my kitchen freezer before it starts to melt (and refill the 1.2L water well if needed). After three or four hours, I have enough ice (10+ pounds) for the week. This unit was priced considerably lower when I bought it. I'm not sure I would have purchased it for the current $75 (lots of similar choices for less), but I'm glad I have it.

I love the product works beautiful and I don't know what else you can say about it produces.Ice, very quick and there's no funny flavors, no nothing, it's really, really good My only complaint is for some reason. Amazon does not deliver to my door they put my boxes and everything else. I buy from them in front of everyone else's door and all our doors are clearly numbered. I'm a 7, and they put it in front of unit, A5A big difference. I think Amazon needs to make sure that the packages get delivered to the right door and when they take their photo of proof I think they ought to include the door number. It's in front of not just the door Mat in the floor that's just my only complaint. Other than that, it'd be five stars

Surprising yield per fill. Set and forget, either bin full of ice or out of water, it will automatically pause with appropriate indicating light showing status. We don't even leave it on our counter all the time...one day operation will give us as much or more ice as our usually purchased 10 lb sacks at the grocery would. Considering that our rather small, rural store charges well over $3 for one of those, the maker will indeed pay for itself before long. Another thing to enjoy is how easy it is to keep the pieces separated one from another, since there is little excess water involved instead of the melt during trips back from grocery to home. And although the quite small pieces at first give the impression that it will take forever to get much ice out of the process, I timed a few of the start to finish batches (just 6 pieces) and it really is only 6 minutes. Walk away, ignore it for a while, and from morning to evening, a few bin emptying moments - and who doesn't walk into their kitchen several times a day, anyway - which take seconds leave enough ice to last as long or longer than those 10 lb sacks. Every bit as good as advertised. UPDATE: Now 10 months into using this little gem, here in the hot summertime, we have been known to start it up early in the day and fill gallon bags to use for several days, even as we use it for our drinks during the day. At times, it runs pretty much dawn to bedtime. It's still operating as well as when first bought, and since we live in a small town with grocery or gas stations that charge more per bag of ice than, for example, a Walmart might, it has easily paid for itself in both dollars and convenience. If we are busy when it either runs out of water or has the bin full, it just waits until we get to it. We will likely use it until heavy usage causes it to croak. Then we'll buy another.

It makes ice very quickly but it is very thin and hollow so will melt very quickly.

I used this ice maker according to the instructions. The ice melts before you can even use it! The ice is so small even on the large ice setting - see my photo. The seller offered a refund, I accepted, but they didn't give the refund and now don't reply to my messages. Don't waste your money on this item.
