Silonn Ice Makers Countertop, 9 Cubes Ready in 6 Mins, 26lbs in 24Hrs, Self-Cleaning Ice Machine with Ice Scoop and Basket, 2 Sizes of Bullet Ice for Home Kitchen Office Bar Party, Red

I got this when my wife had her hip replaced. It works great and produces lots of ice. Since we are on a well, I got the ice machine cleaner which I had to use about every week and a half. The water bottle adapter is for a smaller bottle you have to purchase and is kind of useless in my opinion, just fill the reservoir and let it go. This will not keep the ice cold it has made, so you will need to empty it, but it does have a lift out try to empty it into another try then put in the freezer. Great for parties if you are making or pouring drinks, it will keep up with most instances.

My family and I don’t know how we ever lived without this countertop ice maker. We absolutely love it. We have ice all the time, it’s not loud, and it does exactly what it says. No more ice cube trays on the counter needing to be filled, no more fighting with ice cube trays. We have ice on demand, all the time. The only thing I’d say is that for some reason I thought it would be like an ice bucket on the counter with ice 24/7. It’s not quite like that. The basket is small and takes a bit to fill up, so to get any kind of real quantity it needs to be dumped into a container in the freezer so it can fill up again. It’s not a bad step, it’s no big deal, and we have a very large container in our fridge full of ice all the time because of it. Also, the ice in the basket isn’t kept frozen, so to speak. I don’t know how to explain that because it sort of keeps itself frozen, only it will slowly melt back into the water reservoir over time, then reproduce whatever ice the sensor says there’s room for. This is a horribly inefficient way to leave it as it continually uses electricity if you do that. You absolutely CAN do that, I’ve left it overnight and when I woke up, the basket was still full but it had been cycling all night to keep it that way. It’s best to keep dumping it into its own container in the freezer and let it make more or shut it off. Also, you might want to invest in an ice pick if you don’t have one. The ice comes out a bit “wet”. So when you dump the basket into a container in the freezer, it’s going to freeze together into a lumpy lump. 😄. It’s easy enough to break it up. I use two containers in the freezer, one for ice and one for the new basket of ice. After a little while, i just break it up and pour it into the big container. I’m probably making this sound like work, and it really isn’t at all. It’s a lot less work than ice cube trays. We really really love this product and will never be without a countertop ice maker again. You won’t regret it.

Original review: I just got home and opened this and am SO disappointed at the color. I paid EXTRA and waited LONGER for shipment only to find that it's NOT silver stainless steel. It's enough of a tint of aqua / blue that I thought it had a blue film on it but it's not - it's the color of the appliance. UPDATE: It IS a blue film - but it's so integrated that you would never know it. The company has now updated their product description on Amazon to explain that it is a protective film that must be peeled off. I have not taken it off yet as I'm still testing the product. So far it's a nice device but a little loud for me - not the sound of ice dropping but the whirring of the fan. With all the fans and air conditioners running in this heat it blends in - but once the season changes it will be running louder than my fridge. I will note a few things that others have posted: 1) the first batch of ice is 'weak' as the compressor has to come to temperature. 2) you DO need to remove the ice rather quickly and get it to your freezer and it IS quite wet which makes it clump together once in the colder temps of the freezer. To fix this I'm storing ice in a large Ziploc bag which I can bang on the counter easily to break it up as I add batches. 3) it was nice to leave it for a nap and wake up to a bunch of ice but if you left it too long it would just melt and regenerate. 4) I don't know if I could stand it running 24 hours a day but one person mentioned that helps the machine last longer. I would love to know what customer support says on that there's nothing in the booklet about it. 5) you do need to keep it pulled away from side and back walls - there are fans on both sides and an air Intake on the back. Keep this in mind. 6) the plug in the bottom (for draining during cleaning) is a little flimsy and feels like cheap plastic that could easily break. It's awkward blindly twisting it back in as you can't see what you're doing - and hoping you secured it before pouring more water in. 3 stars with it's limitations, watery ice and whirring sound that I wish were quieter. Wish they insulated the top just a little more to keep the ice from melting longer. But overall nice little machine. Will update rating and post if anything noteworthy changes... 8/7/24 Great size. Smaller footprint, lighter weight and quieter fan than the 'upgraded one'. Adorable little machine. Hope it lasts.

Update! I had this ice maker for just over a year and it died. It had become noisy and then stopped working altogether right after the year mark. I loved it when it worked. I have had this almost a year and no one uses the fridge ice maker anymore. This ice is that perfect crunchy ice that everyone is looking for. I couldn't see paying a huge price for a countertop ice maker when I technically had an ice maker in the fridge. This one has been great. It was easy to use and setup was basically wash it out, plug it in, and fill it up. We have well water so I buy those big jugs of water at Costco to fill it. The price was great, it makes ice in about 6-7 minutes, and the ice is exactly what I wanted. The downside is that it has started to be noisy. I clean it, use bottled water, and It has plenty of space around the machine for air flow. I am hoping that it continues to function. I also wish it was a larger capacity because everyone in my house now takes "mom's ice." However, I hate clutter and appliances on my countertop so for the size of the machine it does make a decent amount.

I deliberately bought expensive ice maker to assure I get quality. It arrived, I opened it. Not working! No ice but water. From second it was on. Too expensive for such a disappointment. Please replace.

Gör det den ska och bäst av allt är att den har en rengörings funktion kan varmt rekommendera

Genialna kostkarka

Wir haben die Eiswürfelmaschine seit Anfang des Jahres in Betrieb und sind restlos begeistert. Die Bedienung ist unkompliziert, die Reinigung problemlos die die Qualität überzeugt einfach. Ruckzuck sind die ersten Eiswürfel nach dem Einschalten fertig. Und weil sie so leise ist, stört sie überhaupt nicht. Wenn der Wassertank leer ist, oder der Eiswürfelkorb voll, stoppt sie automatisch - einfach perfekt! Sie hat bei uns bereits jetzt einen festen Platz in der Küche und ist seit den ersten warmen Tagen im Dauer Einsatz!
