Silonn Countertop Ice Cube Ice Makers, 45lbs Per Day, Auto Self-Cleaning, 24 Pcs Ice Cubes in 13 Min, 2 Ways to Add Water, Compact Ice Machine for Home Office Bar Party SLIM02

This ice maker is is very easy to use. The screen is lighted to it’s easy to see, even in low light. It turns out ice quickly. It has a large water reservoir so it can make a large amount of ice before needing a refill. It has an insert on the top so you can put a water bottle on it. I don’t know if that works well or not as i don’t have enough room above the ice maker to utilize this feature. I use only distilled water in it so the ice always tastes good. You need to empty the ice out and store in your freezeras it’s made because it doesn’t store the ice for you. And you need to break the ice block apart before you put them in your freezer so you have individual cubes. I put them in zip lock bags. You also need to unplug it after use. Not a big deal. All that is much easier than plodding of to the store for more ice. I love this ice maker. I don’t have an ice maker in my fridge freezer so this is super convenient. I hate having to go to the store for ice. This ice tastes better anyway. And the cubes are long lasting, not like the bullet shaped ice. I had a problem with the first one amazon sent, it didn’t work. But the ice maker company includes the customer support phone number in their instruction booklet. I called that number and talked to a real live person! What’s a concept! He was very nice, gave me some ideas to try and said if those didn’t work i needed to contact amazon for a new one. Which i did. And i got a new one within 2 days. New one is perfect. Now, i don’t know how long this one will work. The last one i got (a different brand) lasted less than a year. So we’ll see how well this one lasts. I’ll post another review if it gives out. But if you’re looking for a good ice maker at a decent price get this one. It’s great! Ini got absolutely no kick back for this review.

I needed a new portable ice maker after my 20 year old countertop decided to die. I picked this was because of the ability to make 45 lb of ice a day. It has a drain on the bottom which is easy to open as well as easy to clean. The opinion for a three gallon reservoir as well as the interior gives flexibility. I think a larger reservoir would be possible as long as the”waste water” is recycled promptly. We do a lot of different activities that last 5 to 8 days and at times the price of ice can be as much as $10.00 for a 5# bag. At one event i had friends ask to buy ice from me, since they knew i had an ice maker. So i felt for slightly more money i could get an ice maker that made 45# vs 20 or 25# and could help those who need/want ice for less than $2.00 a pound.

We dry camp in the mountains miles away from other humans or stores. This last trip was 3 days short of a full month. Okay, okay, it’s more like glamping
last year i brought my house ice machine to replenish the ice in our coolers when the generator was running.
This year i bought a margarita machine and didn’t want to share my margarita ice for the ice chest so i bought a second ice machine, this one.
This machine is ten times faster then my other machine!! We camped for a month and never had to buy ice. In the time it took to make dinner and watch a movie my husband’s beer cooler was replenished with new ice. Two thumbs up, highly recommend!!

Product arrived fairly quickly. My old 4 year old samsung countertop one died so i went hunting. Amazon has a huge selection. This one caught my eye because of the reviews and the fact that it makes more ice in a cube style. Also, you can slap a bottle jug on top. That makes a lot of ice! But you still have to empty and put it in your freezer. I use two gallon zip lock bags. I have a disabled friend living on a shoestring ssi income that had no ac during the texas hot summer. The ice helped a lot. Several of her friends requested ice so that machine keeps busy.

I moved to another state, and am renting a house. The fridge does not make ice- we now have a ’94 white that runs like a top, but it’s definitely not fancy. Because i knew this would probably be the case, when we decided to move, i bought the icemaker, because i love icewater, and don’t love buying bags of stuff, or dedicating a big space for ice cube trays.
This machine was my solution. Absolutely no regrets.

It is:
easy to clean.
Easy to maintain.
Easy to use.
Really fast.
And far better quality than i expected, for the price.

Only downsides are, you do have to move that ice to the freezer yourself, and it does take up some countertop real estate…and you do have to add the water manually, either using the adapter for big bottles, or pouring it in. But these are pretty minor things, given the up-sides. And, the manual addition of water means that i can use filtered water from the pitcher that i had to buy, because, again, 1994 refrigerator. (i do miss that in-door water filter!)

bottom line, i would absolutely buy this again. Hopefully, i won’t have to, anytime soon! So far, this thing has knocked it outta the park all summer, keeping us supplied with ice even when the fridge broke down (landlord found a dude who still had some old r12 in his shop to fix the thing, so the refriga-beast remains! Lol), and keeping us in cold drinks during the worst heat of late july. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! (six, if you count my sons’, too, as they love the ice this machine makes!)

Ice cubes are nice and clear. Ice cubes are nice and thick. There is an adjustable time option to make them a little thicker. I put it on an extra 3 minutes. Some people have complained that they are too thick and you can’t separate them. When i added the full 7 minutes to get thicker cubes, i found that to be the case. However, by putting it down to 3 minutes, even though they come out in one piece, they are very easy to break apart.

This machine is so fast! With teenagers and adults using lots of ice every day, the fridge ice machine could not keep up. This ice machine makes ice in less than 10 minutes. We can make it in bulk and put it in bags in the chest freezer for later. Now we almost never buy ice for ice chests anymore. I was a little thrown off by the sound in the beginning, but you get used to it.

I previously had a bullet ice maker that i used almost daily. Now that i have this one, i’ll never go back.

Pros:
-ice doesn’t have a weird taste
-quality, dense ice made quickly
-machine and pump are relatively quiet during the cycle (more on that in a sec)
-generously-sized water reservoirs and ice tray
-has a self-clean cycle

cons:
-it’s kinda big; this thing definitely does take up some counter space
-if the ice tray is empty/near empty, the heavy sheets of ice will plunk into the tray rather loudly. It scares the heck out of me sometimes. It only happens at the end of the cycle, and if there is already some ice in the ice tray, it won’t be as loud. This is probably my biggest criticism of this machine.

I got this for my friend as his house warming gift and he loves it! He’s been wanting to have a ice maker for a long time and this one works amazing! It makes ice cubes super fast and it’s very easy to use!

Love this item, got it to replace another ice machine we had for 6 years that finally called it quits. This one makes great ice cubes that last a good long time.

Purchased it on amazon prime day at a discount.
Make sure to read all instructions before using it! Love that you can select how thick the cubes are. Makes a little noise when the cubes drop but nothing too loud. Its a bit challenging to not spill water when filling it through the top if you use a large water bottle(mine are 3 gallon) but it holds a lot of water. Definitely use purified or filtered water for no taste or mineral build up. I have not tried the cleaning feature yet but soon will. Very pleased with all aspects of this unit, high quality compared to the less expensive versions of other brands i had purchased from walmart. Silonn makes quality products you can trust-at least, so far so good! Chose this model after doing lots of research. If the ice is not removed when full, it will melt and get recycled back into machine, so i try to leave room in my freezer to store the extra. It must be kept out of the sun. You need plenty of space around the unit for it to be safe and dont forget to let it sit for 24 hrs before turning it on after you initially clean it and set it up so you dont damage the unit. Read the instructions completely before using it. Very important if you want the unit to last.

This ice-maker is very easy to use, works well, and makes ice cubes quickly. However, the ice-cubes come out in a sheet just like ice-cube trays, and you have to break up the ice-cubes to use them. If you’re ok with continuing to break up ice-cubes like you do with an ice-cube tray and almost immediately store them in the freezer (it does not keep the ice-cubes it makes frozen in the reservoir) then this is a great product. I was looking for an ice-maker that produces individual cubes or nuggets i don’t need to break up so this product did not deliver the ice i wanted. I cannot discredit how well it works though-it just simply was not exactly what i was looking for personally.

This was an upgrade for my family and i(2 adults and 2 kids) from a smaller ice maker purchased elsewhere. +6 makes the ice a little too thick for me personally and -6 is too thin. Still trying to figure out an in between. Being thicker ice cubes makes them harder to break apart but i absolutely love this ice maker and the self cleaning option. My other machine didn’t have that option and it was difficult to clean. I definitely recommend this ice maker! Doesn’t take up a ton of room and fits nicely.

Despite the claims, i have not yet found a single 5l bottle which will fit in the top of the unit. The opening is not large enough to accept a standard bottle neck, even with the cap removed completely.

At ice default settings for my unit, the ice was too hard to split apart. I bought a metal ice scoop.

It makes ice well, however the ice is very wet when finished. So, when you put it in the freezer it all freezes together and has to be chopped up before it can be used.

5 stars for small amount of ice

4 stars for big amounts of ice

love it! At first was worried about the ability to build up big amounts of ice. But it’s honestly very easy to stack up a lot of ice very fast. I don’t have enough space to store anymore so i just it so leave it in the machine.

The design is pretty cool because the melting ice goes into a drain that gets pumped back into the water holding tank so it constantly fills. Melts and refills with ice on its own without losing water.

Love everything about it except the ice capacity. If you want to make a lot of ice plan on babysitting it. You will have to empty the ice about every 30 minutes.

It beats making ice in tray.stops when it’s full..self cleaning.so i’m happy

Works perfectly. I love how i can choose the level of thickness on the ice. Only draw back is the taste. Not sure if the reason is the machine is new or if this will be an ongoing issue. Big problem if it can’t be fixed. If it goes away, this is the perfect machine at this price point
