Koldfront Ultra Compact Portable Ice Maker - White

Works great.
I've had this product for 7 months. I've used it regularly & had absolutely no problems at all with it. Except for the initial start up (which only lasts a couple of minutes) it runs quietly. It makes ice fast, the first batch is usually ready within 5-10 minutes and each successive batch takes about 4-6 minutes on medium sized cubes.
I use the medium sized cube setting, though there isn't a lot of difference between the 3 sizes. The ice will be wet because this is an ice maker, not a freezer. This isn't a problem if you are going to use the ice right away. It comes with a handy little scoop too. If you want to store the ice for later use, you will need to freeze it before adding it to an ice dispenser. I just pour the ice into gallon sized zipper freezer bags & stash them away. It's simple to separate the cubes after they've hardened up a bit. I usually pour them into the ice dispenser in my refrigerator freezer at that point.
I bought this ice maker because...

Good Value
I ordered this portable ice maker for my husband serving in Afghanistan. He recieved it in good shape after I mailed it to him. He says it works perfectly and makes enough ice for him and some friends. The ice maker itself is a little on the heavy and very bulky side. I had a lot of trouble getting it out of the box it came in. But, it is a good value compared to other more expensive models.

great product
This ice maker is great!! I bought this machine a few days ago and it is awesome. As you have read in the description, there are three sizes of ice: small, medium, and large. The ice cubes rounded top looks similar to a fingertip or rounded bullet (odd way to describe it, but that is the only thing I could come up with). There isn't much of a difference between the sizes of cubes. The small isn't very small at all, just a little thinner than the medium and large cubes. The cubes are soft, so like a previous reviewer said, 'it doesn't hurt your teeth if you eat the ice.'The machine stops making ice once the basket is full and a red light appears next to the word "ice". If you do not remove the ice, it just melts back to make more ice. A red light will also appear next to the word "water" if you need to add more water. This was one of the best things I've purchased in a while.
