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, Sliver

I had another 'brand name' ice maker that looked JUST like this that I found on Amazon a few years ago. It was about $149. It finally breathed its last sigh of relief and died on me this last week. So.. I looked around. The local Walmart super store had one that looked identical! But... it was $88 plus sales tax. I looked on Amazon, and ... as you have probably already seen (if you are looking at this review) they are almost ALL from about $119- $149-$189 price range! And then... I stumbled upon this one. By "Silonn"??? Gimme a break! This is IDENTICAL to darn near ALL the Chinese made small counter top ice makers you will find here on Amazon. And... For only $77??? BUY THIS ONE! Its exactly the same as all the others (more or less). And it pumps out about 9 ice cubes as fast as you could imagine, maybe 9 minutes? It keeps the ice in the internal basket, as they melt the water just goes down in the lower bin to be recycled again. There is no refrigerator function. Nothing in there keeps the created ice cubes cold. It just has a typical compressor and freon and it makes ice cubes -- over and over! As they melt, the water goes back in the lower bin. Then, when the clever infra-red sensor sees that the ice bin is full, it will stop all ice making process. But as the ice melts (goes back in the lower bin), it will immediately create another batch of ice cubs for you! There is another magical function (?): If the water level in the lower bin gets too low, there is a red light that will tell you "ADD WATER". I just use the 16.9 oz pure water bottles you buy from Costco (Kirkland 'brand') or Arrowhead 16.9 oz bottles you can buy darn near any grocery story to refill as often as this machine needs more water. I probably use about 5 or 6 big glass fulls of this ice every night for the drinks in my house. It works great, and has never failed me yet. It is much cheaper (and yet, IDENTICAL to the ice makers all over Amazon and in big-box stores like walmart) than you will find anywhere else! Gosh... I hope they send me a new one just like this one, for my kitchen, for free, after they see my raving review of this one!

Been using it for a week. Long story short, new freezer has an ice maker that will not produce enough to last a day. So we decided to get this product. It does what it says. It makes 9 cubes at a time and a basket full in maybe an hour? 2 things everyone should know: 1. It's not a freezer. Once the basket is full, you have to either use them or put them in the freezer. 2. The cubes come out wet. IF you put them in the freezer, they will freeze together. But once they're frozen, I took them out of the container, put them in a plastic bag and smashed them on a hard surface to break them up and put them back in the freezer. No biggie, but important to know. I would definitely buy it again. It's fast and works great!

Worked great for a year and a week. Have owned this brand and a Frigidaire. Both lasted just barely over a year. If you buy one, be sure to pay extra and get any available warranty. Coming back to update. I watched an online video about resetting the Silonn ice maker. It took multiple resets over a few days but started working again! A year later it continues working. Each month when I clean it I have to reset it. May take 24-48 hours and a few resetting, but it still makes great ice. It is not perfect but keeps going so I’m pretty happy with it overall. I’ve had it about 2 and a half years now.

Been in use for about 2 months now, I'll be sad if I ever have to replace it. I was really skeptical about a countertop ice maker, but I'm so glad I bought it. Ordered this ice machine for using in my game room without having to go up/down the stairs to my kitchen for iced water. It makes large and small size ice nuggets, and makes 9 ice cubes in under 10 minutes! I keep a 5 gallon jug of filtered water upstairs for refilling the ice machine, I have never used tap water. The unit is quiet (barely louder than a bathroom fan) and has a decent sized, removable basin for holding ice and a deep water reservoir. If you don't use the ice and it stacks up, there's a sensor that stops the machine from making more ice (or until it melts down), so you don't have to worry about overfill, ever. I have a very short list of pro's and con's: PRO'S: + Quickly makes ice (just let it cycle filtered water and dispose the first round per directions) + Two sizes for ice cubes which can be selected on the top + Never overfills and will automatically stop when tray is full of ice + Conveniently quiet, no louder than a bathroom fan, and never beeps + Very mobile, would be great for tailgating or camping with electric plugs + Does not produce a lot of heat in a confined area (but make sure it's ventilated) + Convenient removable ice tray and nice hand scoop provided CON'S: - Takes a couple of hours for a full ice tray - Can't use tap water, must be filtered (just read the directions) - Initial set up takes a full day to run water through the maker before regular use - Ice cubes are not very big, so they can melt quickly in room temp liquids - Ice cubes are tube shaped, not chipped or nugget style - Plastic parts do feel flimsy, so take care to not use too roughly I hope this review helps potential buyers. I was very, very hesitant but now I use it more than my kitchen fridge! Very happy customer.

This is a great countertop icemaker! It's very quiet, and it churns out ice in your choice of small or large "bullets," for lack of a better description. I cleaned it, plugged it in, filled the water reservoir, and it's been making ice every since with just a refill of water. I've bagged up extra ice to have on hand since I go through a lot of it. If you want to fill a cooler with ice, I recommend buying bags of ice. Great purchase, and I highly recommend.
