EUHOMY Ice Cube Maker Machine Countertop with External Water Tank, 2 Ways to Add Water, 34Lbs/Day, 16Pcs Ready in 7 Mins, Auto-Cleaning, with Ice Scoop & Basket, for Home/Kitchen/Office/Bar (Black)

The refrigerator ice maker crashed years ago, and I wasn't inclined to spend a lot of money on it. Since then, we buy two big bags of ice and run through them in a week, often still needing a couple of ice trays. In South Texas the two of use a lot of ice and would have liked to have used more but for fear of running out. No fears like than now. I think this machine could keep up with a large family in a warm climate, so long as someone kept the water tank filled. The product has been exceeding expectations. I can fill the old ice maker bucket every day with ease. I'll probably only run it all day about every third day. I could easily make and bag a LOT of ice for an event. I had increased the ice making time which is how you increase thickness, but have cut it back. At the maximum time, the sheet part of the ice that connects the cubes was too thick and hard to break. I cut the time back, and it makes blocks that fall apart when I drop them in the freezer bucket. It has reliably suspended operation when the bin is full and started right back up when it was emptied. And stopped when the water tank ran out and started when it was filled. I was easily able to force an ice dump. You can certainly hear it. Some compared it to their dishwasher. Maybe they had quiet dishwashers, but it's not nearly so loud as the last dishwasher I owned years ago. It's only a bit louder than the microwave. The ice has been high quality, pretty clear with just water from a Brita pitcher filter. This is in every way easier and more efficient than I expected. The ice bin will fill up long before there's much melt. It keeps frozen well, considering that the bin is not refrigerated.

I really like this machine. It makes nice size cubes and they melt alot slower than my previous ice maker. Additionally, I really like the tank on the top, the machine controls the amount of water in the reservoir so the water does not touch the ice. It is very easy to setup and select the size (density) of the cubes and runs very quiet. I researched many others and this maker was the best buy for the options. The maker is solid and appears to be of good quality.

Having used a $50 ice maker and a $250 ice maker, I'd say this is the sweet spot. The ice maker maintains the same width and depth as other small budget friendly options, but adding the water on top means more ice basket space and you can see the water level; since the water basin is removable, a dedicated person could upgrade the water basin. The ice area is also somewhat insulated so the ice will melt, but it will take a while. The scoop does a good job breaking up the ice too; speaking of, the ice is crystal clear. Lastly, there is a mechanism to detect when the tray is full which should prevent issues after long enough use. Not everything is perfect. Keep the manual because the control panel isn't intuitive, and sometimes I question myself when I try to open the lid and my fingers just slide up the plastic like pulling a push door with a pull handle. The scoop annoys me to scoop with so I've turned to dumping the basket, or using my hands. Also, the water basin when empty doesn't sit flush meaning it uses the weight of the water to secure the basin in place; I see a potential for leakage there, but it hasn't happened in 2 days. The unit's fan and running water does create mild noise comparatively, but the ice dropping is noticably louder. Lastly there is an option to control the "thickness" of the ice, but it really controls how deep the divet in the center of the cube is as well as how long the process lasts before dropping the ice. Using a meter, I measured less than 1W idling, and 150-170W while operating. After a full 24 hours of use where I more or less emptied the ice more than usual (first 4 times for cleanliness, then to stockpile) as well as subtracted 1 minute from the ice making process, I measured about 0.87KW. My negative paragraph was longer, but only because I expected a little more having upgraded from the $50 ice maker. However, this feels like a good upgrade as now I have more ice ready for longer and don't have to remove the basket to check the water level. The reduced noise for the most part has also been peaceful.

Very excellent ice machine. The cubes don't separate but, that doesn't bother me. I like a lot of ice so I use a a whole sheet. It's worked perfectly for my taste since day one.

Honestly I haven’t tried the machine yet, just got it delivered, supposed to be able to remove center of cover to use water bottle, but cover is a solid piece, spoke with company, said they will email me in 24-48 hrs , I’ll update how that goes, agent said they will send out replacement cover to use water bottle. Update: The company emailed me back almost immediately, I have sent them the requested info that they wanted, so I will update once that is handled. But I do also want to State. I have been using the machine. I think it’s a great it’s smaller than the machines I’ve had in the past, but it puts out just as much ice, I really like this machine and if they can get this lid issue resolved, they will definitely get a five star rating. I really love this machine. I have sent an updated photo showing how much ice there is in the machine. Update: The company has already gotten back to me to confirm my address, to ship me the missing water jug holder, this company is amazing, from day of the item being delivered to me to the day the company let me know they will ship out the missing part was a total of five days, and I take into consideration that two of those days were Saturday and Sunday, I will definitely give a thumbs up to this companies customer service👍and the ice maker is great. If I could give more than five stars, I would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Final update: I have already received the missing jug holder and have included a photo, the machine itself is great and the customer service is amazing 🤩 this is definitely a go to company that care about their customers 👍

Not even worth 1star. Stay away from this seller. Product was not what was advertised as it didn’t work and wouldn’t refund my money. They don’t stand behind their products!!!
