Reviewers have been loving the ease of this ice maker, which has racked up a 4.5-star average rating on more than 900 customer reviews. According to shoppers it "makes enough ice to keep a party going" and produces "ice in minutes."

One shopper raved that "this ice maker is the best," and added that it's "quiet" and "makes ice fast."

Another reviewer said that the ice is "airy and crunchy," and "doesn't have that funny taste" that some pre-bagged ice has.

"[It's] quiet, convenient, and make nice tasty little cubes," agreed another reviewer.

While this ice machine works well to produce ice cubes, some shoppers found that it doesn't do a great job of keeping it frozen once it's made. Instead, users recommend that you "remove the ice each time and freeze it" — otherwise "it will melt if you wait," they say.
