Love it
It does the job well!

Works great! Fast and easy to use. Holds a good amount of ice. It does run a little loud but it’s solid for the price!

SAVE YOUR MONEY

If reliability and customer support are important to you, look elsewhere. My ECozy ice maker lasted almost exactly one year before quitting; apparently, “planned obsolescence” is the only feature they engineered to perfection. When it failed, I reached out to customer service expecting help; silly me. What I actually got was a masterclass in avoidance: canned scripted replies, absolutely useless suggestions, and the unmistakable impression that their real business model is running out the clock until your warranty (and patience) expires. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM

Acting up

update; 16 months later, the fan is starting to make noise. I’m hoping that they send a replacement or I can repair it. Stay tuned.

This was a great price. It works great and I have been using it almost everyday for 6 months. Easy to clean. It is a little loud but I still love having that soft crunchy ice everyday. I holds a large amount too!

Love my icemaker!!!

I’ve been using it for several months and it does great. No problems. I can make enough ice for myself all day in a couple or three cycles. I was buying bag ice and this has saved me a ton of money. Recommend you get one.

All the chewable ice I could ask for

I’ve only had this ice maker for a week or so but I am really impressed. It forms ice I can chew and it keeps up with my need (I am constantly eating ice with a little cranapple juice in it). I’m currently recovering from a bout of sepsis and will also be getting iron infusions for treatment (I read somewhere that people with low iron crave ice). What ever and what all drives me to chew ice I don’t know for sure but this dandy ice maker has been great, supplying all the chewable ice I could ask for. I believe it is helping me stay hydrated, which has long been an issue for me (never drink enough water). I’m using this machine all hours of day and night and love having the perfect ice on hand. It’s very easy to set up and use.

Exactly what I was hoping for.

I love this little machine. The first day of use I carefully cleaned it and then ran filtered water through a cycle to rinse. It was so wonderful to see those little soft cubes of ice.  I dumped all of that and dried the machine out with a towel, left the lid open until it was thoroughly dry.  The next day  I  MADE  ICE.  I ran the machine through two cycles and made enough little ice cubes to last a few days. I couldn't be happier.

Disposable

It lasted just over 1 year and suddenly stopped freezing.  Was okay while it lasted.  Nothing special.

You need this!

This is the best ice machine. If you love sonic ice this is the one. Easy to clean and makes ice quickly. I had a different model and brand previous to this one and it was impossible to keep clean. I highly recommend this item

Fast but not furious

We bought this about two years ago and it is still working fine. Makes sonic type nugget ice very quickly. The only drawback is it tends to pile up like a mountain of ice and then trips the machine to stop making it. So one has to level out that pile of ice for it to keep going to fill up the bucket, which is only big enough for maybe four glasses of ice. However, it sure is better than the GE brand that we bought that didn’t last more than a year and a half. Definitely recommended.

Good quality

We purchased this for our daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She uses it everyday. It is still working just as good as the first day she used it.

Works great, very noisy.

This ice machine is very quick and efficient at making ice which is its sole purpose in life.  The only issues I have involve how noisy it becomes after about a month of use, and the fact that the ice melts very quickly (probably due to the fact that the top cover is extremely thin plastic).

Nugget Ice (Sonic)

Makes ice within 15 minutes.  Love the nugget is just like sonic ice.  Easy to set up,  make ice,  clean & store. Machine is quiet during use,  & looks great on a counter top.  Wished the ice bin was larger but it makes the ice fast!

Great Ice Maker!

I love this ice maker! I purchased because my wife *loves* ice water but our fridge wasn't compatible with an ice maker. This unit pumps out at least 4 quarts a day, and it saved my from buying a new fridge. I can't recommend highly enough.

What? I can’t hear you over this ice maker.

I’m on my 3rd nugget ice maker and this one has by far lasted the longest, but my lawd this thing is loud. My wife has to have one so I would say this one has is hands down the best bang for the buck. Fellas, just make sure this thing is nowhere near the TV. You may blow a speaker, lol. Save the money and get this one though.

I’ve Always Wanted to Have a Sonic Ice Maker!

I’ve always wanted to have a “Sonic” ice maker!  I looked into full-size ice makers but the cost is high.  They take up the space of an entire kitchen cabinet.  I would not be able to use the high volume produced so would waste time throwing away old ice and cleaning the ice maker.  In the past, I would purchase a bag of ice at Sonic and store in the freezer.  The local Sonic closed so this ecozy ice maker was the solution.

WHEN USING THIS ICE MAKER, KEEP IN MIND HOW LONG IT TAKES TO FREEZE NORMAL ICE CUBES IN AN OLD-FASHIONED ICE TRAY OR HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR A BRAND NEW REFRIGERATOR TO PRODUCE ITS FIRST BATCH OF ICE.

The manual says to use drinking water, not distilled water.  This may be due to the same reason a Keurig coffee maker cannot use distilled water if brewing a carafe cup of coffee.  The maker uses the conductivity of the water to determine if there is enough water to do its job.  Distilled water has minerals removed so is relatively not conductive.

The manual also says ice is produced faster if cold water is used.  I purchased “Drinking Water” from the grocer and refrigerated it.  We don’t use tap water for our appliances because the local tap water is really hard and damages appliances with scale buildup that is extra work to clean.

Doing the above, the first ice was produced at 5 ½ minutes.
About 15 ½ minutes later, there was enough ice for what I prefer in a drink (SEE PICTURE).
At 1 hour and 30 minutes, the liter of water added to the ice maker was turned into ice and the red colored “Add Water” light came on and the ice maker automatically stops.  There are also sensors that detect a full ice basket and automatically stop ice production.

The inside of the ice maker is not a refrigerator or a freezer so it’s best to remove the ice periodically as it is made and put it in a freezer.  If the ice is not removed, it slowly melts and returns to the water reservoir to be made into ice again.  The ice maker does contain refrigerant and the ice making process does require a fan so do not expect the ice maker to be silent during operation.

The ice is maybe a little harder and has less air than Sonic ice but is a PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for me!

The water reservoir holds a maximum of 1 liter of water and you can see the 1 liter Pyrex measuring cup PICTURE of a full basket of ice.  The Pyrex measuring cup actually overflowed when I poured the ice into it.

The machine is nice looking and the carrying handle, ice basket, ice scoop function nicely.  There is a drain plug in the bottom that helps remove water in-between uses.  It’s easy to reach all areas to manually dry the ice maker.

At the see-through lids highest position when opened, 18 1/2 inches of clearance is needed underneath cabinets.  The ice basket can still be removed if the lid is not completely open.  If much less clearance is available, the ice maker depth is shallow enough that it can be pulled forward on the counter in front of cabinets during use.

The manual is complete, with pictures and written in grammatically correct English.  A support email address, hotline and hours of operation are included.

I’m really happy with this ecozy ice maker and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

Makes incredible Slushy type ice

I absolutely love this ice maker, because it makes the perfect "slushy" type of ice.  My fridge makes square cubes of ice that are big and hard to eat.  This little ice maker makes pellet type of ice that is perfect for drinks and makes them into a slushy type of drink.  I love to eat ice so this thing is perfect for me.

Make sure you read the instructions, but you will want to make sure before using the machine that it stood upright for at least two hours.  This allows the liquid for the motor to settle at the bottom of the machine where it needs to be.

I did run the machine first before using any of the ice as it helps to make sure all the internal parts are clean.  Once that cycled completed, I wiped everything down on the inside and filled with bottled water.  The machine only took about 10 minutes, and it was producing ice.  Usually, I just let the machine run until it's out of water and then bag up (included) the ice to put in my freeze to use for later.

The ice maker does make some noise when running but it is not intrusive or bothersome.  The machine does get warm and does need to push hot air out of the sides.  So make sure you provide it with adequate air flow to not overheat the ice maker.

Cleaning is a breeze, fill with some water and white vinegar and hold the start button for 15 seconds.  This starts the self-cleaning cycle and will run for about 15 minutes. Once completed hold the unit over a sink and pull the rubber plug on the bottom to drain the water.  I usually will wipe it down to help dry the machine and leave it sitting out and open over night to fully dry.  You can also pop the lid off to clean the water channels as well.

The ice maker is not light but can easily be carried around by the included handle.  The machine seems to be very well built and should be pretty durable.  My plan is to use this at home for drinks but also take it with us on our RV to be able to produce an abundance of ice compared to using the water trays you put in the freezer.

I really wish I would have purchased one of these sooner at it really is a game changer for my drinks.  I practically use this every day for iced coffee, water, or cocktails.  If you like to eat ice or have slushy type drinks, you will love the ease and simplicity of this ice maker.
