EUHOMY Portable Ice Maker - 26lbs/Day, Auto-Clean, Silver

Bought this to replace a Magic Chef ice maker that made the same amount of ice. That one lasted for a little over 2 years so looking forward to seeing how long this one will last. The overall size is a tad bit smaller than our old one. That is both good and bad. This one is a bit shallower where the ice collection basket sits. So far the only down side I’ve found is that when scooping ice from a full basket, it tends to push a cube or two back 8 to the drop chute. This is a small problem, not worth worrying too much about. It makes ice quickly, is relatively quiet and works pretty much like every other version of this variety. It only has 1 size setting for cube size but it makes the larger size cubes. I never used the small size on my other one. I also like the fact that you can get to the freezing apparatus a bit easier for cleaning when needed. Overall it’s a nice little ice maker TIPS: when using this type of ice maker, fully expect the ice to melt slowly. The ice basket is NOT refrigerated. It sits over an ice bath that will chill after it’s been running for an hour or so. When you first turn it on, the ice cubes it makes will be very small as the water chills. Each successive batch that drops, about every 7 minutes or so, will get bigger as the water bath chills. I recommend dumping the first 3 or 4 drops of ice, back into the water reservoir. This will speed up the water chilling and make bigger ice cubes faster.

This is my 2nd Euhony ice maker. The 1st one was almost exactly like this one except it was silver and it didn't have a handle. It was a good ice maker and lasted 2 years, then one day it just up and died. I never had a countertop ice maker before so I don't know how long they are suppose to last, but 2 years seems about right, considering the reasonable price and I ran it continuously from the 1st time it was turned on with no problems or complaints until the moment it died....The only issue I had was I used tap/fawcett water from the city to make the ice cubes and mineral deposits such as lime would get built up in the reservoir and it required constant cleaning. But, that was not the fault of the ice maker. That was my fault for using tap/fawcett water from the city. Now that I think about it, the lime deposits might have had something to do with why it stopped working after 2 years...This black one, I'm planning on using nothing but bottled water, and I used it to make ice cubes for the 1st time today. The ice cubes came out real nice looking and firm and crunchy. They look like ice, tastes like ice, they're cold as ice, and they chill my lemonade, just the way I like for them to do. What's not to like? It will be interesting to see how long this one lasts. That will probably be the determining factor which ice maker I like best, this one or the 1st one. I'm giving it 5 stars because so far I have nothing to complain about.
