Nugget Ice Maker Countertop, 35.5Lbs/24Hrs Chewable Sonic Ice Machine with Self-Cleaning, Handle, Water Tank, Quiet Operation & Portable Pellet Ice Maker for Home, Office, Kitchen, Bar, Black

My family loves this ice maker. The ice is a great texture and the machine produces it quickly. Cleaning is a piece of cake, just running clean water through it and wiping it out. We only use bottled water in it though, since the water in our area would clog it very fast with mineral deposits. Running it is easy. Just add water to the fill line and press a button. The machine can hold 40 oz of water at a time, and it runs through it pretty fast if you use it often. There is no refrigeration of the ice, it just sits out and melts, which is fine because the melted ice just flows back into the reservoir to make more ice. My only complaint is that I wish that the machine held more ice or water, but no countertop ice maker in this price range does. I would guess that it is because making it larger would require refrigeration to be added to where the ice is held, which would also add to how well insulated the entire thing would have to be. This is also the perfect size for sitting on the countertop underneath cabinets. If it were to hold twice as much ice it would probably take up well more than twice the amount of space. I have been using this machine daily for about 9 months have have not had any issues at all with performance or quality.

Omg this ice is so perfect! it can seem a little noisy when you’re by yourself but it is relatively low. Not exactly sonic ice but still soft like the sonic ice! Will update if there are any problems.

This machine makes the BEST ice on the planet... NUGGET ice. Its a nice size machine and makes ice relatively fast. My only issue is that it makes some noise. Its not annoyingly loud but there is a humming noise when it is making ice. Besides that I HIGHLY recommend it.

Love the Zafro 35.5lb/24hr Nugget (grey) ice machine!!! No complaints in regards to this counter top ice machine!! Was purchased in February, and it's been running 24hrs a day since it's arrival. Yes, it does have a buzzing/noise sound...but you get used to it. Sounds like a fan. It does shut off once there is maximum ice. As the ice melts, it will make more ice. It does make a re-booting buzz sound when this happens. **I DO NOT USE TAP WATER. I read up, that the best water for ice machines, is distilled water. So Distilled water it is. The ice tastes clean, and crisp!! Also purchased Descaling tablets for inner machine cleaning, for once a month cleaning. Great purchase/happy customer!!

(Read the whole review!) This little nugget icemaker sits on my counter, taking up a place of prestige formerly occupied by the induction burner I bought from Amazon. It happily chugs away, spilling out a tablespoon of ice at a time, for as long as the water in the reservoir holds out. Then it will recycle the melted ice into new little nuggets. I am the only user of ice in my home so this suits my needs perfectly. I’ve not had to use the fridge icemaker since I got this and have even saved extra ice for parties and get-togethers. It looks nice on my counter and is easy to clean, as well. UPDATE: My ice maker suddenly started making squealy noises, then ‘thunked’ three times, and then stopped making ice. It sounds fine but the cold went away. Couldn’t return because the darn thing quit working two weeks after the return window closed! I looked in the manual but there was no help there. I tried all the troubleshooting tips that Amazon had on their troubleshooting page but no help there either. So I clicked the contact seller link and filled out the form and waited for a reply. No reply. So I called Amazon customer service and they said to email the seller and wait 48 hours for a reply. I waited three days. NO REPLY!!! So I just want to give anyone thinking about buying this a head’s up. My ice maker lasted one and a half months and then broke. In my experience, the seller does not answer pleas for help. So, BUYER BEWARE!
