Antarctic Star Nugget Ice Makers Countertop, Pebble Ice Machine with Chewable Pellet Ice, 34Lbs/24H, Self-Cleaning, Sonic Ice, One-Click Operation, for Kitchen,Office Stainless Steel Black

Love this ice maker. The ice pebbles are sonic consistency. It doesn’t take long to make the ice, and we use it every single day. The only thing that would make it better is if it were a little larger. A full ice container will fill two tall glasses. Love this product. Even bought our daughter one for her new home. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good price for the product

There was a problem with the first shipped ice maker. It was returned and the second was shipped immediately. The response was very good and the replacement sent was quick. Received it in less than a week and it works perfectly. It was great doing business with this company. Thank you

Makes great ice......SLOOOOWLY. Only reason for the 4 starsThey say 6 minutes but at the 6 minute mark ice has just begun to enter ice basket...It takes about an hour to fill the ice basket, I tried using ice cold water in reservoir too, no difference.After talking to others with these smaller 'sonic' type ice makers, I've accepted that it's just the way it is.If you plan ahead it's manageable for guests, if you put stockpiled ice in freezer it clumps into solid block.Did I mention that it's SLOW

Great appliance! A little noisy for my small studio, but I have learned to tune it out (most of the time). It is not refrigerated, so the ice does slowly melt in the bin, but it is constantly making new ice. In fact, it makes it surprisingly fast. I find myself refilling it a lot, not because the reservoir is particularly small, but because it's so convenient to grab ice for everything. As for ease of cleaning, it was a little bit confusing the first time I did it, but customer service walked me through the steps and then it was back up and running just fine. As for looks I think it is pretty compact considering, and I think the build feels like it was made with quality materials. Overall, it is a workhorse in my kitchen, and I think for the convenience it's fantastic. I would buy it again, no questions asked!!

This is the first ice making machine I’ve ever owned, the ice maker on our refrigerater went out and I got tired of making ice, I run it usually every other day, I did try making two rounds of ice in one day and it made a squealing sound, I think it may have gotten too hot, the next time I used it there was no sound. It’s fairly quiet, not any louder than a microwave. Ice tastes good, I do use filtered water from both the faucet and then a filtered water pitcher. We have fairly hard water so I do descale it more frequently to extend the life of it. I would recommend it if you don’t need a lot of ice, for one or two people max. I’ve not tried running it more than once to know whether or not it made that noise again. I generally stick to every other day, summer coming it might end up every day. For my needs it’s been a good machine.

Not a bad product. Just not what was expecting.Pros - Easy to use. Set up is simple. Ice is the nice nugget size. It’s relatively quick considering the size of the unit. It is small and compact and fits easily on a countertop. Seems solidly built.Cons - Does not hold a lot of ice. In fact there might be a design flaw in how the ice comes out. It has a sensor for when the ice bucket is full, but the ice chute that the ice travels to enter the storage bucket is where the sensor is. So you get a pyramid affect that looks like a traffic jam of ice. Causing the ice sensor to think it’s full of ice, when in reality it’s not even 25% full. If you want the full capacity of the ice available, you have to routinely scoop away the ice from the chute so it doesn’t think it’s full. Additionally, the capacity of ice it holds is not that much either. For one person, or a college dorm it might be ok (assuming said dorm isn’t hosting a party). But for using in a home setting, definitely not the right fit. For the price point this had versus similar products, I was expecting more.

I ordered this after seeing my daughter using hers. It makes large and small ice cubes in a matter of minutes. I liked it so much that I gave everyone in my family one for Christmas.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Makes a lot of ice but the product makes a loud screaming noise and also sometimes sounds like somebody’s farting. Not sure why it’s doing that but it’s very annoying. I bought this in December 2024 and it is now July 2025. So does the product just not last that long?
