Silonn Nugget Ice Maker Countertop, WiFi Pebble Ice Machine with Soft Chewable Ice, Timer Function and Status Alerts with Silonn App, 33lbs/24H for Home, Kitchen, Office

My hubs LOVES Sonic ice! He craves it! There are a few other restaurants and places that have it and when he finds a place, he always gets an extra cup to munch on it. I've been looking for years to find a counter top ice maker that produces it and for years I could only find the original standalone machine that costs thousands. When people started producing counter top versions, the reviews weren't great. Recently, after several years, I decided to revisited this quest. I found hope in the newer machines that looked like they were getting closer. After pouring over reviews and descriptions, I decided on finally buying him this one for Christmas this year. I'm happy to report: The cubes are the perfect size for crunching! He says it could be just a tad more "watery" (whatever that means -- it's ice -- isn't it naturally watery?? -- But I'm not as fanatical about rabbit poop ice as he is), but he says "it is pretty darn close" and he loves it!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The machine produced ice almost instantly. I was impressed by how fast it worked. It's footprint on the counter is about the size of a normal-sized coffee maker. Our knife block with the knives stands taller than this machine. So it doesn't take up much space as I thought it would. The water capacity is pretty decent: it makes about 2 tumblers full of ice -- or 1 32oz convenient store plastic cups -- we'll have to experiment with making extra to store in the freezer but so far hes eating them as fast as its making them 😆 The quality of the machine is mostly plastic but seems sturdy and good. The loudness is not more than the exhaust fan on the stove, but as mentioned it doesn't take long for ice to be produced, so the machine doesn't run long. Over all, this was a great buy!! 👍

My husband loves this soft ice machine. He usually has a cup of ice around all day at his desk and likes to chew on it instead of drinking sugar drinks like juice or pop. So he was so happy he got this machine for Christmas. It’s easy to set the machine up. We feel that it’s not a loud machine , makes ice within 15 to 20 minutes. We use bottled water and the softer ice tastes great. The machine footprint is about equal to a 4 slice toaster. We just got it for Christmas so will have to stay tuned for durability. My husband loves this ice machine

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.

works great! love it only wish the part where is holds ice was a little bigger.

I got the $169 one. Its great for what it is. It's a little loud when it barfs out the ice though. It looks good, a little big but good. The ice is small, soft and chewable. Melts sort of fast in a 16oz glass cup of coke. Not bad if you want something icy/watery. Clean it. The ice gets a strange taste if you don't. I used vinegar and water to clean it on self clean cycle then used distilled water to rinse it out. If the world ended, I'd find a way to make power and hook this thing up to it. Life would suck a little less with a cool drink *wink face thing I can't do the face keyboard nonsense*

Updated: I originally gave one star because of the reasons down below, but once I emailed them again and provided the video and the documentation and the photographs as they requested, they were really good about everything. They are sending me a new unit. Lots of hoops to jump through to get a replacement, but I understand that they have to make sure that they’re not being scammed for a second free icemaker. Icemaker died after six weeks. It started making clicking and grinding and popping noises, so I turned it off and turned it back on again, and it started making its normal humming noise, but will no longer produce ice. I contacted the company and gave them the Amazon order number as they requested and explained the issue, now they want me to send them an invoice document other than the order number from Amazon that I already sent them. (There is no invoice document!) They also want me to send a photograph of the back of the machine and take a video narrating the problem so they can supposedly help me troubleshoot. There is no troubleshooting to be done. The ice machine pump motor obviously burned out and stopped producing ice! I contacted Amazon as well and they told us that we would need to contact Amazon’s warranty department with no instructions on how to go about doing that. You Are Amazon, I’m talking to you! So basically I’m getting the runaround after spending almost $200 on this damn thing and having it crap out on me after six weeks of use…never again with this company

Product: I recently picked up the Silonn Nugget Ice Maker and I've been pretty impressed with it so far. The noise level is really manageable, which was a pleasant surprise because I've dealt with some noisy appliances in the past. It's quiet enough that it doesn't bother anyone in the house, even when we're all in the kitchen. The machine is quite efficient at making ice, and I haven’t had to fuss over it much—just use filtered water, and it runs smoothly with very little maintenance required. The nugget ice it produces is just the right size, not too big or too small, perfect for cooling drinks without diluting them too quickly. It's been especially great for making iced tea and other cold beverages on hot days. The size of the ice maker is also a good fit for my kitchen; it doesn’t take up much space but still produces a decent amount of ice. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase. It does exactly what I need without any hassle, and having quick access to nugget ice anytime has been a game changer for my daily routines. Amazon Customer Service: Working with Amazon is a nightmare. I was expecting this product on their expected 'Prime' delivery date only for it to get delayed 3 times before they ended up cancelling it. I had to contact Amazon support and, I swear, they literally say anything to get you off the chat as fast as possible. Making false promises of credit or refunds saying that it will hit your account in however many days. I honestly don't know why I pay for Prime anymore since my inbox is littered with emails about how they are sorry about the delay with no repercussions. It took 2 weeks to get this item on a Prime delivery. Terrible customer service.

This unit is the perfect diminutively small size to fit in a kitchen without taking up too much space. We also own an GE Opal which we keep in our home bar area, and the problem with that unit is only its size. This unit which we’ve placed in our kitchen is much smaller than an Opal even without the Opal side tank, but produces ice just as rapidly as that larger competitors. That said, this is a very different product. As others have noted the ice, while chewable, is actually really tiny cubes. They look like what you would get if you took a normal ice tray and put it through a shrinking machine. The quality of the ice is excellent and comes out clear and semi-solid but still soft enough to chew. The ice reservoir is not insulated, but the design lends its self to maintaining a constant level of ice as melted ice is recirculated into the water reservoir. Unlike the GE Opal, there is no place to add a charcoal filter, so if your water tastes terrible or is hard you may want to do as others have done and use bottled. All of this considered, this unit is very loud. I originally thought that reviewers here were exaggerating or hadn’t experienced another product, but I can confirm that this unit is louder than you might expect. Given its diminutive size there just isn’t a lot of material that can absorb or deflect the sound of the condenser and pump. Comparatively its about as noisy or slightly more so than the GE Opal, but that is a much larger unit. This unit is louder than our brand new LG refrigerator, and so we have placed them together so that at least the noise is coming from the same general location. When you consider that a refrigerator is 10-15x larger than this ice maker, that is saying something. Its noisey enough that it may not live on our counter permanently, but may get cleaned up and stored way for when we need its services. Definitely better than ice trays, but definitely as loud as advertised. Time will tell if its as reliable as other machines, but the reason I bought this unit is because of the combination of small size and reported reliability of this brand.
