Nugget Ice Maker Countertop, HOMEZAY Pebble Ice Maker with Soft Chewable Pellet Ice, 33 lbs per Day, Compact Ice Machine with Self-Cleaning & LED Indicator for Home, Kitchen, Camping, RV, Office

I agonized over which nugget ice maker to invest in, and we finally settled on this. First of all it’s small enough to fit under our low cupboards and in our small kitchen with little counter space. Secondly it makes perfect ice, not melty or too soft. Not only that but it stays frozen for hours after the machine stops producing. I guess if there were a flaw it would be the sound it makes when you first turn it on, it’s kind of loud. This doesn’t last long though, and once ice begins to fall it gets much quieter, and becomes just sort of a soft, low background noise. Overall I’m very pleased, and most importantly my boys have plenty of ice for bumps and bruises after sports.

I watched critical review on this ice maker and I’ll address the few things that are common sense and that I’ve experienced in the 24 hours having this ice maker. 1. price tag, I love to chew on ice and I decided worth the price tag to get the ice I want. 2. Ice production at 33lbs a day. I find this very far fetched. You would have to have someone manning the machine to get that much ice. First and most obvious the ice tray isn’t big enough to hold 33 lbs and neither is the reservoir. PS if you need 33 lbs of ice a day you’re better off getting a commercial ice maker or 7- 5lb bags of ice. I believe it can produce that much ice but not without some work. Also when filling the basket you will need to check on it. This is nugget ice and square things don’t roll. So they stack up on top of each other and the machine thinks the basket is full. So I’ve pulled the ice forward so it can fill the back of the basket. I don’t find this to be a big deal. It’s one of the things I will deal with to have nugget ice. Also it’s still the first full basket so I don’t know how it is to maintain after a while. 3. Cleaning- haven’t cleaned it yet but think about the water in your area. If your faucets and coffee maker have a bunch of water deposits, what makes you think this is invincible of getting the same thing. You may want to get a water filter pitcher or buy bottled water if this is your situation. 4. Some people complain it’s noisy. But come on now, it’s a machine running. You’re going to have a fan to keep the machine cool. It’s not silent! But I will say it’s another fan running. I did question what was going on in the kitchen when I first started hearing the ice drop. Hahah! Then I remembered.. dork you just plugged it in and forgot?!? lol. 5. ice basket capacity. Well it’s just me at home and occasionally I’ll have a friend or two over. I imagine it would make plenty of ice. I would however make sure the ice tray was full and that I top off the reservoir so it’s got plenty of both to keep running. 6. Size. Two of my friends have bullet ice, ice machines and their machine is significantly larger then this one. I think it’s a nice size. And you can see the size of the microwave next to my machine. 7. Nugget texture. Everyone loves sonic ice. But realize sonic produces their ice and it sits in a freezer and is frozen before being put into our drinks. It’s going to be super crunchy. This is an ice machine and has a plastic bin to sit in before being put into our drinks. So as soon as it’s made it starts to melt. It’s the same as having a cup of ice vs a cup of ice in our fancy double insulated metal cups. So that being said the ice is not as crunchy it’s a little squishy. But if you want crunchy ice, throw it in an ice box and put it in the freezer. 8. Capacity of water reservoir is 1.1 Liter. So what I have is a small PUR water filter pitcher that I have filled with water sitting behind the ice maker. Pull the ice tray out and fill the reservoir. Ps don’t forget to tip the tray to the side slightly to drain and water from ice that has melted. 9. Power button and lights! One button on/off, yes please. And the maker has a nice light that glows around the button. White light for making ice, green for ice tray full, which can also mean that the ice is stacked up and you need to move it to the front so the machine can make more ice. (Remember square things stack) red light means your water reservoir is running low on water. And I haven’t seen it yet but when you do the self cleaning cycle, there will be a blue light. With all of this being said. I’m very satisfied with my ice maker and recommend it to others as long as you know it’s not a set it and forget it machine. And again square things stack. If you don’t want to move the ice at all, get a bullet ice maker.

Lasted about 6 months. Tried emailing the company, never heard back. Ice maker was perfect till it started making this ear piercing sound. I ended up taking it apart and seeing if it was something that I could fixed but I was unable to repair it. If you purchase I would recommend the warranty that’s if you can get in contact with anyone.

Works well so far. Not very loud in my opinion. My last ice maker i could hear from upstairs when it was making ice. Only negative for me is if you arent paying attention to keep moving the ice from the top it gets stuck and stops making ice because it thinks the baskets full. Have to keep pushing the ice down.

I’m obsessed with the HOMEZAY NUGGET ICE MAKER! This ice maker is worth it if you: use a lot of ice, hate filling trays or want ice fast, within minutes. the ice does not have a taste, which is good! My ice maker works nonstop, as long as there is water in the tank. I go through so much ice and water and can’t have a drink without it being icy cold and refreshing. If this you, this ice maker fits the bill! I even take this with me camping, no leaks and quick and easy to use!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: We tried the fancy GE (opal 1) refurbished and the first lasted almost a year and the reorder was doa so we decided to try a different brand. After a bunch of "research" we decided to give this one a go. We're extremely happy so far. The speed of making ice is fantastic. Our baby is teething and the little pieces have been a massive relief for her. We love ice and use it constantly. Cocktails, water bottles, etc it's been just as good. I'll update the review to address lifespan but it seems most of these products don't last more than 1-2 years so we didn't want to drop too much money. I think the build quality is better and I'm hopeful we get a good life out of it. The fan on the side is a great design choice and the noise isn't bad. I notice it turning on or off but we haven't found the volume to be intrusive and it's close to our living room.

I love the nugget ice, and the price is really good for this icemaker however, the spout for the ice gets clogged and it stops producing ice, and the bin is not filled. Also, it’s very noisy when it’s running the fan and the machine are very loud. The ice turns out really nice and it’s easy to clean with the auto cleaner feature.

Ya’ll I love my ice maker! It makes small nugget ice ! It is super easy to use, and the functionality is so simple making nugget ice. It’s not loud, the noise is very minimal. It holds a good amount of water, it will let you know if you need more water. The ice basket is removable to add more water. It auto shuts off when the basket is full of ice. Very easy to clean! So glad we bought this!! I needed an ice maker because we did have one, best purchase, and we use it everyday now!

Make it clearer in the notes that the appliance is 120 V
