EUHOMY Nugget Ice Maker Countertop with Handle, Ready in 6 Mins, 34lbs Per Day, Removable Top Cover, Auto-Cleaning, Portable Sonic Ice Maker with Basket and Scoop, for Home/Party/RV/Camping (Black)

I bought this nugget icemaker and rec'd it two days ago. Here's what I've learned so far. Pros: a) Packaged really well. Unless someone really tried to destroy it, it should come in just fine. Nice job! b) Easy to take all the pieces out, clean and put back together (hint: there aren't many parts, which is nice!) c) They say ice in 6 mins... True but not enough to use. lol My attached video shows this. However, in 20 mins there was enough for one cup. Give it an hour and it'll be about full. It'll auto turn off as the ice gets stuck coming out of the chute so it thinks it's full but it's only about 2/3 full. That's fine. All ice machines will do this. Several glasses worth in an hour. d) Very compact and pretty light. e) Pretty quiet. You can hear it but there is a lot going on inside to create the ice. It's not loud enough to be a bother. f) Delicious nugget ice! No complaints on size or taste! g) Easy to drain, dry off and put away. Cons: I can't come up with any. How long will it last? That's the real question. Only time will tell. Overall, here was my goal. I just wanted to use it for a day, bag up a bunch of ice, drain and dry and put it away until I needed more ice. The reason for this goal was this... My first nugget maker was the GE Profile 2.0. Almost $600. I ran it 24/7 (I use a lot of ice). This was a mistake. Running it that much wore it out too quickly and also dirtied it up too easily. There was no good way to clean it other that hoping the "clean" setting actually did clean it. Well, it didn't. I don't think any can. You can't take any of them apart enough to make sure there isn't black gunk growing in all the guts of the machines. This nugget maker is easier to get too. The top lifts off and you can actually see the inside water tank and the big front tank and clean them both. Much better and a third of the price. Will it make ice as fast? Heck's no. Can I make ice for a few hours and bag it up and put in the freezer? Heck's yeah. I'm going for price now. I'll make ice, clean up the machine and put away for a week. So far, this is a great buy!!

Best investment I ever made. Works great, makes ice quick, and it’s the good crunchy little ice. Perfect for my daily iced coffees! Update a couple months later, still works great, so glad I bought it! Couldn’t recommend enough!

First ice machine for me. No regrets. Love the texture and size of the cubes. Haven't run into any issues.

To be honest, I bought this machine to replace a $400 Mueller unit that the company replaced once, was a beast to keep clean, and eventually turned into a boat anchor. I figured if I only spent $150 on this Euhomy model and it didn’t hold up, it wouldn’t be that expensive to replace. I really didn’t have very high expectations but I waited to write a review until I had time to live with the machine. It’s been six months now. It has performed perfectly and we use it daily. It makes great pellet ice – soft and crunchy. Compared to the Mueller, it is small and does not take up much counter space. It is also pretty quiet in normal operation; although, it can get louder when it needs to be refilled. It makes ice very quickly - which is a plus because the ice bin itself is small. This machine would not be suitable for a large household but there are only two of us. We use large water bottles throughout the day so it is possible to fill up a water bottle with ice and empty out the ice bin. But it refills itself quickly so there is not much of a wait for the next person. (If they’re desperate, they just get ice out of the refrigerator ice maker.) The machine itself is easy to clean once you get the hang of the drain plug being on the bottom. The only real negative is the manual. The directions were so conflicting I wasn’t sure exactly how to clean the machine. I had to email them for clarification and to be honest, I really didn’t expect much of a response. But to my surprise, a real human emailed me back with an updated manual and clarified the questions I had. They even followed up after they sent the email to make sure I did not have any further issues. I truly did not expect that level of Customer Service. To be frank, the revised manual still needs work but it was an improvement and answered my questions. So, normally I would give this product four stars but because of the response from Customer Service I’m giving it five. Hope the machine continues to hold up!

So far I am loving it...Big water holder & ice basket...Love the lil nugget ice..It stays frozen longer than bullet ice.. Twice a piece of ice got stuck where it comes out & the motor was making a loud whining sound & got hot...I wouldn't leave it on if you're going to be gone a long time & the motor is loud....I did buy lil sanitizing tabs to clean it every month or two & they save me from having to clean it but I run tabs thru a couple times then drain & rinse with plain water twice
