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.
