ecozy 2" Clear Ice Ball Maker with CrystalFlux Technology, 4 pcs in 40 Mins, 144 pcs/Day, Sphere Ice Maker with Automatic Water Supply, Self-Cleaning, Enhanced Insulation for Whiskey & Bourbon

I decided to try this ice ball maker bc we never have enough ice to fill everyone’s water bottles. When I first opened the maker I was surprised by its size, it was larger than I had anticipated. I will say there are a number of things I really like about it. 1. It runs very quiet. I have had other counter top ice makers that are so loud, this one is not at all! 2. It keeps the ice balls frozen for a long time, they don’t melt fast at all. 3. It makes a lot of ice! 144 balls in 24 hours is way more than I would ever use but would be wonderful if I was having a party. 4. The ice balls are really good size but fit nicely in water bottles which is a huge plus. 5. I like the option of actually hooking it to a water supply and drain. You have to have the right location to be able to do that but it is a really nice option. 6. The self clean function is really nice. It’s so easy to start and runs quickly. It’s also easy to drain the water tank after running the self clean. 7. Using filtered water the ice balls come out crystal clear! 8. The ice balls are perfect for your cocktails/whiskey. They do not melt fast so they don’t water down your drinks. There a couple things that I could see as improvements. 1. The drip tray is okay but I wish it actually attached somehow. It’s always getting pushed away from the maker and well then it doesn’t work so well. 2. The water reservoir isn’t huge but this wouldn’t be an issue if it was hooked to a water line and drain. Overall I really like this Ice ball maker and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I just got the Clear Ice Ball Maker, and wow, I’m seriously impressed. As someone who loves Liquor, having ice that doesn’t melt too fast and water down my drink is a huge win. The crystalflux stuff they mention really makes a difference —each ice ball comes out super clear with barely any air bubbles, and they melt slowly, keeping my drink just right. The best part is how fast it makes the ice. Within 40 minutes, I already got ice balls ready to go. This is a game-changer when friends come over, and I’m trying to impress them with a nice drink. Plus, it makes up to 144 balls a day, so it’s perfect if you’re serving drinks for a crowd. Another cool thing is how easy it is to maintain. The self cleaning is great, and I don’t have to deal with any hassle when it comes to keeping everything fresh. It’s also pretty quiet when it runs, which is a big deal for me, cause i have it on the counter. & that caused another concern if it was too big for my counter as it can be used comercially to a water line also, but it’s super convenient for home countertop just fill it with water manually. Overall, this ice maker has made my whiskey nights so much better. Totally worth it!

Updated: Worth noting that it looks like there are several different machines in these reviews. This one is specific to the ecozy 2" Clear Ice Ball Maker with CrystalFlux technology. TL/DR version: Pros: Fast Makes a lot of ice Works fine with filtered water Pretty simple to use Cons: Very large footprint Kind of loud Ice balls are smaller than I'd like Inconsistent shape of ice balls The long version: I initially left a 2 star review based solely on my frustration with an aggressive sticker that is clearly intended to be removed but took me 10 minutes to do so. After about a week with it, and some contact with customer service, I'm updating my review to be more reflective of the product overall. Honestly, this is more likely a 3.5 star, but I'm rounding up because their customer service was so responsive. I'm typically a bourbon drinker. If I'm feeling really fancy, I'll have an old-fashioned, but there's so much sugar in them, I usually just stick to bourbon. I've had an spherical ice mold that works pretty well, but is very time consuming and takes about 24 hours for a single ball. I wanted something that would be easier and faster. After a handful of online reviews and videos, I settled on this. I was excited to get it, and shipping was pretty fast. The product box was inside a larger Amazon box with no additional filler or padding, so the extra box was pretty unnecessary. The retail packaging is solid enough that the machine arrived in good condition with no cosmetic issues. My first impression before unpacking is that it's pretty heavy. My second impression after unpacking is that it's also very large. I've included a couple of pictures of it with my coffee maker to give a sense of size. We have a pretty small kitchen, without a lot of counterspace. So this eats up a good chunk of it. As I was setting it up, the aforementioned sticker was my first irritation. The adhesive on a sticker clearly intended to be removed should not be so aggro. Otherwise, set up and the initial self-clean was easy and quick. I am not running plumbing to it, so I can't comment on that piece. The space available for manual filling is pretty tight. At first I was trying to fill it with a Pyrex measuring pitcher, but it's easier with a glass, though you'll need to probably do it twice to fill to the max line. While running, it's pretty loud. Imagine an oscillating room fan. But you only need to run it while making ice. It doesn't have to be on 24/7. It takes about 40 minutes for the first ice balls to drop. Then about every 30 minutes for another 90 minutes or so, before it runs out of water. At which point you'll either need to add more water, or just turn it off. I tried both distilled water and water filtered from my refrigerator. It seems to make no real difference in terms of clarity of the ice. Both came out mostly clear, with small visual defects. The ice balls themselves are pretty small. They're about the right size for my smallest whiskey glasses, but I have some larger ones that they don't make a very impressive fit for. The uniformity of the balls is a little bit all over the place. Some of the other reviews mention that they get more perfectly spherical over several batches, but I haven't seen that to be the case. Sometimes they have the divot in them, sometimes they don't. I've had a couple come out more like blobs than spheres. Even the most perfectly formed ones are pretty lumpy. If you're expecting a perfectly round, perfectly smooth ice sphere like you would get in a fancy high-end bar, these are not that. Fine for personal use, but I wouldn't plan on blowing anyone away with them. One thing I was aware of but should be pointed out is that this is not a freezer, and will not serve as long-term storage for your ice balls. It stays cool enough for the ice to last probably through a party, but it's definitely not cold enough to hold them for more than a few hours. The ice begins to slowly melt immediately after dispensing, so if you're wanting it to last a day or longer, you'll definitely want to have a dedicated container for them in your freezer. It comes with ice trays that you can use, but I think they take up too much space for what they hold. So I am using a reusable silicone, zip-lock freezer bag. The machine itself seems to be well manufactured and solid. It's nice looking, just very large. The drip tray feels like an engineering after-thought, but it does what it's supposed to do. Overall, this does what I need it to do, but there are a few things I wish it did better. The number one thing I'd change would be larger spheres. Number two would be more consistently shaped. Number three would be a much smaller footprint. Otherwise, it's a good product.

This is very nice ice maker !! Its works great and makes ice super fast in my opinion I just wish the basket area kept the ice cold. If you leave the ice it makes in the basket for to long it will start to melt

Muy buena opción, super rápida y sin ruido

Update: Once filled to the Max-Full liine with water this compacy counter top sized ice machine jumps into action and starts making ice. Note that your 1st batch may be a little watery in appearance but appreciate that the machine has to go from room temp to frozen first. The ice scooper pushes the bullets into the bucket and continues to make ice until the bucket is full - about 3-4 scoops at 8-12mins between each. The red light then comes on while the machine is in pause-mode. Remove the ice cubes and immediately place them in your freezer for later use (or in your drinks if you're ready lol) I found that the LARGE ice cube setting is best. CON: Initially time consuming yes as you do have to check back to see when the bucket is full, however with practice I'm sure I'll get to know exactly how long a full bucket takes and simply do something else while waiting for that magic transfer moment. PRO: The machine is quality constructed with parts cleverly put together to meet one's needs - basket, scoop and 2pc plastic freezer bags and a handle are included. Customer Service and Care is outstanding, so if you have any questions or concerns, do contact them. I am more than happy to recommend this novel countertop icemaker from Ecozy ~ 5*

Funciona bien la maquina.

Se la compré a mi esposo y le gustó bastante, cumple con la función!

It did work great for about 2 months. Cubes are an adequate size for the large. The machine used to shut off when the water became low, so you could add more. However after 2 months it stopped doing this. It keeps trying to make ice cubes even though there isn't enough water. I have run the clean cycle numerous times but to no avail. It still tries to make ice when the water level is to low. I get dime size wafers. Granted it still makes regular cubes when the water level is good, it just does not shut off anymore when it should. UPDATE: An Ecozy customer service representative contacted me and apologized for my experience. I was offered a full refund or a replacement unit. I like the machine alot so I took the replacement unit, it arrived the other day. I have not had the opportunity to use it. The customer service experience was amazing. In a time where customer service doesn't exist this was absolutely outstanding. Will post again after I try new machine. 2nd Update: I have used the 2nd unit and everything is working. I like this ice machine and recommended it to friends. Ecozy customer service is amazing and I want to thank them for that. Nice to know some places still care about customers. I give Ecozy customer service 10 out of 10. Thank you so much Tina.
