Magic Chef 27-lb. Capacity Portable Countertop Ice Maker, Red

I am a person who likes lots of ice in her drinks and doesn't have a fridge with an internal ice machine. This doesn't take up much counter space in my kitchen and works beautifully for my daily needs. I store a couple gallon freezer bags with ice in my freezer so it's ready when I need it for a special event in my home. I had [reviousdly purchased my first Master Chef several years ago and was very happy with the results. I then purchased 3 Igloo ice machines (trying to save a little $$$) before returning to the Master Chef and will never buy anything else again. I have gotten several years out of a machine before buying a replacement. I purchased the warranty at a low cost.

At first I had difficulty, putting it in a PRACTICAL location . I purchased it, because I'm 4'8", and bent FORWARD. Therefore, using My freezer's ice maker, isn't a possibility. Purchasing a bag of ice, only managed to have ice cubes falling from the bag. The solution? ice making machine. The first batch took a bit, but when it stopped making noise (not annoying at all), I looked, and it was FULL, of BEAUTIFUL little cubes. So, I go to dump the remaining water, and was ready... Not even close. I pulled the plug, and the water ran down My hand, and all over the floor (YES, I DID have a container to catch it!) Solution? I now have the ice maker, right AT the kitchen sink. when it's time, to dump the water..which BTW is a LOT, because it takes very little, to make a FULL batch of ice....I only have to move it, a few inches, with the 'emptying hole ', directly over the sink, put on a rubber glove, and pull the plug, as the water happily travels directly into the sink, to parts unknown. SERIOUSLY FOLKS, it's a great ice maker. One load, fills 2 quart sized bags, 1/2 full. when I go to get the ice, I tap the bag on the counter to loosen the cubes, and use 1/2 of the cubes..saving the rest for My next drink. I'm 74, and not in great shape. I lost My Husband of nearly 60 years, in January; and I'm doggoned PROUD to say that I didn't return this MAGIC CHEF, just because it was a bit difficult. I simply put My thinking cap on, and worked it out Myself. HAVE A BLESSED EVENING EVERYONE STAY SAFE Sincerely, Maggie

I love it. Despite the reviews, I ordered this unit. You must follow the enclosed instructions to a tee. After taking it out of the box, I cleaned it and let it sit over two hours. I filled it up with regular tap water and it has been working fine. The ice will melt and it will go through the cycle to reform into ice again. I suggest bagging it into the little snack or sandwich Ziploc bags b/c it will stick together.

this small ice maker is perfect for my needs. works perfectly. Live in motorhome and keep it in shower area, (no counter space) lol would recommend it for anyone who needs extra ice. makes small bullet like cubes

Makes ice fast and plenty for it's size. Waited a couple of weeks before writing review. Bought on Walmart.com and was delivered within 2 days. Would buy another in future.

Ice Maker did arrive several days late. Instructions were clear and easy to set up. It works great and makes ice cubes in two sizes. Ice Maker makes more ice cubes than I could ever use. It is a little loud.

When u first start it up the ice is thin but after 3 cycles it gets thicker n thicker, I love this machine!!! So convenient , i have it on top of water dispenser machine

The ice maker in my freezer stopped working. Instead of paying $100+ for a service call and addional money for parts I bought this. It works great and makes ice.

I spent hours pouring over reviews. Recieved this item today..so far I've made 4 cycles of ice on large setting(one fill of water). The first three I threw out (tap water) they were cloudy. The distelled water (I bought cheap gallons) is clear and excellent bullet ice. Tray could be bigger but I love this machine. It also arrived before expected ship date. There is a little noise from machine..compressor kicking on and ice dropping. But totally worth it.

This machine is impressive, pretty color, I got the red. Works great, like the size of the cubes. The only negative is that it's slow, wish it worked faster, but other wise it's a good working machine, made 6 gallon bags of ice so far.
