Ice Maker/IM-01

I have never had an ice machine before, and did not know what to expect. After our fridge's ice machine died, I needed a replacement, because buying ice was getting old really fast, and I chose this company and machine based on 1). the praise people have for this nugget ice (and we do like to eat our ice), and 2). The brand Euhomy seems to have a reputation that people like (and I now agree with).As for the ice maker itself, what a great machine! It looks nice on the counter, and for its size has not too large of a footprint. It produces ice steadily and quickly, maybe taking about 2 hours to fill the included basket. There's no assembly aside from a handle and simple cleaning before using an appliance for the first time. I run it for about 4 hours and put all the ice in the freezer. This gives my family roughly two days of ice. I do not run it non-stop because I want the machine to last as long as possible. The ice is the nice chewy kind, which is the entire reason that I chose this machine over something cheaper. The machine isn't noisy, but you can definitely hear it, which is another reason I wouldn't leave it on all the time.I would like to add that Euhomy has just about the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. They, as a company and brand are amazing, with great representatives who took care of me quickly and professionally for an issue that I had (caused by Amazon's shipping).I'm very pleased with both this product and this brand.

This is truly a very nice ice machine for two people. The ice bits are small which is great for adding to bottles with small openings. If you like being able to chew your ice this is perfect. It 'initially' took a little less than an hour to fill the ice basket. It holds enough to add to a couple of glasses or bottles at a time but it fills back up really fast once it has been totally refrigerated. We always have more ice waiting when we go back for more. It lets you know when it needs more water added with a red light. It's very easy to refill, just lift the ice basket and add water to the full line. There is a plug on the bottom if you accidently add too much water and need to drain the water tub. Like most people we have an ice maker in our fridge but we have heavy mineral content in our water line that doesn't produce a quality tasting ice. We installed a 6 filter Reverse Osmosis system under our sink with a separate tap for good tasting drinking water. We use the RO filtered water to fill our Ice maker for great tasting ice. We have been using it for over a month and really do like it. It does make some noise while creating the ice but it's not that loud. The machine doesn't give off any heat to speak of. If you like being able to chew your ice this is perfect.

We've had ours for about a year and half and it's worked great - producing the soft ice everyone is looking for. It does make noise, about what you'd get from a decent in window AC unit.We used distilled water and cleaned it regularly with bleach or vinegar cleaning solutions. We also took canned air to it to clear the dust out often.However after 18 months, it started to heat up and not produce as much ice. I peaked inside with a flashlight and saw that the coils/radiator piece was caked with dust - and it's not easily serviceable. You have to take half the case off. Which I did and successfully cleared it out. Unfortunately I damaged one of the fan blades in the process. And now it's non functional.So 4 stars for a good product, minus for an inability to easily clear out those coils from dust build up. I really think it would have lasted much longer if that were an easily serviceable item.If I get another one, I may try an air compressor on it every month or so to clear those coils out.

Bought this to use in our camper!First I want to list thePros- machine is easy to set up, quiet, makes alot of ice quickly, perfect size for outdoor cook area on our camper, ice is just like Sonics ice, machine arrived within a few days of order being placed.Cons- there was some sort of grease on outside of machine. So far doesn’t seem to have effected anything. This also puts out a lot of heat. Keep that in mind as to where you set it up at.Biggest con- I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED THIS SOONER!We love it, we make up a few bags of ice, toss in freezer and I drain water from machine and wipe it out. Put it away for a few days till we need more.
