Silonn Ice Makers Countertop, 9 Cubes Ready in 6 Mins, 26lbs in 24Hrs, Self-Cleaning Ice Machine with Ice Scoop and Basket, 2 Sizes of Bullet Ice for Home Kitchen Office Bar Party, Green

The color is awesome, first off. It makes ice quickly and efficiently. And yes, I am sure it can make 26 pounds of ice in 24 hours but remember that you have to empty the tray the ice lands in approximately once per hour. If you don't, it will stop making ice. Also, the ice will start melting if it is in the tray too long. So you need to keep your eye on it to make sure it doesn't stop making ice because the tray is too full or your ice melts. This is not a defect. It seems all countertop ice machines are this way. In my experience, I can fill a gallon freezer bag (ziplock) in about 4-5 hours. Plan to empty the bin at least once per hour and put the ice straight into your drinks or freezer. I thought this machine would replace my need for buying large bags of ice for parties, but it would take days to achieve that, unless you stay up all day and night tending to the machine. So this machine, realistically, is for light, daily use. Plan on really stocking up on your ice or keep buying bags at the grocery store for large events. Overall, this is a great machine, takes up little counter space, and makes great little ice cubes with minimal effort. I definitely recommend it. Thanks!

My husband and my adult son go through so much ice that my refrigerator ice cube maker cannot keep up with them. We decided to buy this icemaker not only for them, but also to make extra ice when needed for parties. So far I’ve been using it every day for over a week now because my husband and son go through so much ice. I cannot say enough good things about this product, I have had icemakers in the past so I know a little bit about them. This icemaker is much quieter than my last one, it makes ice very fast. The size choices are large or small, I choose large, the ice seems to expand when it actually goes into the freezer for nice size cubes. Ignore any negative comments that say the ice cubes melt, no kidding they melt, this is not a freezer, you are supposed to take the full basket of cubes and put it into your freezer. This is not meant to keep the ice cubes cold. I can fill up my freezer ice bin in a few hours using this machine. The ice that my refrigerator makes stays in the door. The photo I added of my full ice bin in my freezer is ice from the machine only. I love the retro color to boot, it matches my bread box. Definitely worth a five star review in my opinion. UPDATE: It's now December and still going strong with 0 issues. It gets used everyday for hours at a time. GREAT purchase :-) *UPDATE* It's been one year since my review and this ice maker is still going strong, not one issue! *UPDATE #3* It's been almost 2 years now since my original review and this machine is still going strong with daily use. I didn't mention in previous reviews that you should clean out the machine from time to time otherwise you can get sludge build up which is perfectly normal. If/when this machine finally breaks down, I am definitely going with this brand again.

We've had this ice maker for a few months and we're so happy with it. Here's the breakdown. Pros: -Fast: each cycle only takes a few minutes so you can have ice very quickly once you turn it on -Reliable: it's worked perfectly for months and we use it often -Easy to clean: the self-cleaning feature is great, and a removable plug in the bottom of the chamber makes it easy to drain any old water or cleaning liquid. -Great ice texture: not too hard, can easily be crunched if desired Cons: -Sound, potentially: it's not noisy, but it's not silent either. You can hear it running, and the ice clatters a bit when a cycle is over, but it's not obtrusive in our opinion. But if you're noise sensitive, it might be too much for you. -Wet ice: there's no refrigeration for the ice once it's made, so as it accumulates and fills the basket, it begins to sweat and slightly melt. This is solved by regularly emptying the basket while the ice maker is on, but it also means the ice likes to stick together once you put it in the freezer, because it was wet. If you use a bag for storage, dropping it against the counter breaks up the cubes easily, so we don't find this problematic, but other users have mentioned it as a downside, and just confirming that it's true--yes, the ice sticks together easily because it's wet when you put it away. Overall we're very happy with our choice of ice maker and love the teal color we chose. It coordinates with our kitchen and doesn't take too much counterspace. We were previously making ice in trays and therefore used ice sparingly, but now we use it much more freely because we have ice in bulk at our fingertips. Excellent aid for staying hydrated and having ice available for other needs as well.

These work really well until they eventually break. Easy to fill with water, makes lots of ice relatively quickly. It does make some humming noise when it’s operating but it’s not too bad. However they are all made with very cheap plastic Chinese electronic parts that will eventually break. So expect to have to replace or manual solder parts in about 2-3 years. If that lifespan works for you, this is a great product at a decent price

Probably one of the best investments I’ve made. My GE refrigerator is slow at making ice, but this thing pops out cubes every 7–9 minutes nonstop. We use it daily, doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, and it’s still running strong. Highly recommend it — everyone should have one of these on their counter.

Absolute junk! It worked fine for maybe 4 months. The rest of the time non-stop issues. I threw it out my kitchen window into the yard then into a dumpster. Trash!
