Silonn Nugget Ice Maker Countertop, Pebble Ice Maker with Soft Chewable Ice, One-Click Operation Ice Machine with Self-Cleaning, 33lbs/24H for Home,Kitchen,Office

I got the $169 one. Its great for what it is. It's a little loud when it barfs out the ice though. It looks good, a little big but good.The ice is small, soft and chewable. Melts sort of fast in a 16oz glass cup of coke. Not bad if you want something icy/watery.Clean it. The ice gets a strange taste if you don't.I used vinegar and water to clean it on self clean cycle then used distilled water to rinse it out.If the world ended, I'd find a way to make power and hook this thing up to it. Life would suck a little less with a cool drink *wink face thingI can't do the face keyboard nonsense*

Product: I recently picked up the Silonn Nugget Ice Maker and I've been pretty impressed with it so far. The noise level is really manageable, which was a pleasant surprise because I've dealt with some noisy appliances in the past. It's quiet enough that it doesn't bother anyone in the house, even when we're all in the kitchen.The machine is quite efficient at making ice, and I haven’t had to fuss over it much—just use filtered water, and it runs smoothly with very little maintenance required. The nugget ice it produces is just the right size, not too big or too small, perfect for cooling drinks without diluting them too quickly.It's been especially great for making iced tea and other cold beverages on hot days. The size of the ice maker is also a good fit for my kitchen; it doesn’t take up much space but still produces a decent amount of ice.Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase. It does exactly what I need without any hassle, and having quick access to nugget ice anytime has been a game changer for my daily routines.Amazon Customer Service: Working with Amazon is a nightmare. I was expecting this product on their expected 'Prime' delivery date only for it to get delayed 3 times before they ended up cancelling it. I had to contact Amazon support and, I swear, they literally say anything to get you off the chat as fast as possible. Making false promises of credit or refunds saying that it will hit your account in however many days. I honestly don't know why I pay for Prime anymore since my inbox is littered with emails about how they are sorry about the delay with no repercussions. It took 2 weeks to get this item on a Prime delivery. Terrible customer service.

My hubs LOVES Sonic ice! He craves it! There are a few other restaurants and places that have it and when he finds a place, he always gets an extra cup to munch on it. I've been looking for years to find a counter top ice maker that produces it and for years I could only find the original standalone machine that costs thousands. When people started producing counter top versions, the reviews weren't great. Recently, after several years, I decided to revisited this quest. I found hope in the newer machines that looked like they were getting closer. After pouring over reviews and descriptions, I decided on finally buying him this one for Christmas this year. I'm happy to report: The cubes are the perfect size for crunching! He says it could be just a tad more "watery" (whatever that means -- it's ice -- isn't it naturally watery?? -- But I'm not as fanatical about rabbit poop ice as he is), but he says "it is pretty darn close" and he loves it!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The machine produced ice almost instantly. I was impressed by how fast it worked. It's footprint on the counter is about the size of a normal-sized coffee maker. Our knife block with the knives stands taller than this machine. So it doesn't take up much space as I thought it would. The water capacity is pretty decent: it makes about 2 tumblers full of ice -- or 1 32oz convenient store plastic cups -- we'll have to experiment with making extra to store in the freezer but so far hes eating them as fast as its making them 😆 The quality of the machine is mostly plastic but seems sturdy and good. The loudness is not more than the exhaust fan on the stove, but as mentioned it doesn't take long for ice to be produced, so the machine doesn't run long. Over all, this was a great buy!! 👍

This unit is the perfect diminutively small size to fit in a kitchen without taking up too much space. We also own an GE Opal which we keep in our home bar area, and the problem with that unit is only its size. This unit which we’ve placed in our kitchen is much smaller than an Opal even without the Opal side tank, but produces ice just as rapidly as that larger competitors. That said, this is a very different product. As others have noted the ice, while chewable, is actually really tiny cubes. They look like what you would get if you took a normal ice tray and put it through a shrinking machine. The quality of the ice is excellent and comes out clear and semi-solid but still soft enough to chew. The ice reservoir is not insulated, but the design lends its self to maintaining a constant level of ice as melted ice is recirculated into the water reservoir. Unlike the GE Opal, there is no place to add a charcoal filter, so if your water tastes terrible or is hard you may want to do as others have done and use bottled.All of this considered, this unit is very loud. I originally thought that reviewers here were exaggerating or hadn’t experienced another product, but I can confirm that this unit is louder than you might expect. Given its diminutive size there just isn’t a lot of material that can absorb or deflect the sound of the condenser and pump. Comparatively its about as noisy or slightly more so than the GE Opal, but that is a much larger unit. This unit is louder than our brand new LG refrigerator, and so we have placed them together so that at least the noise is coming from the same general location. When you consider that a refrigerator is 10-15x larger than this ice maker, that is saying something. Its noisey enough that it may not live on our counter permanently, but may get cleaned up and stored way for when we need its services. Definitely better than ice trays, but definitely as loud as advertised. Time will tell if its as reliable as other machines, but the reason I bought this unit is because of the combination of small size and reported reliability of this brand.

Works perfect, so we'll I had to buy one for my daughter.

The product produced exactly what it says it does. Product works well. However, only lasted a little over a year and a half. So we are now in the market for another one.

UPDATE: April 2025 (purchased June 2024), not even a whole year and it started leaking internally. I emailed customer service, no response as of yet. We took it apart to try to fix it based on the manual. It looks like a gasket that has come loose that is unreachable. The interior of the machine is either glued or soldered together. It looks like we will need to get a brand new one. Other than the issue of it leaking, it has been an excellent ice machine. I wish it had lasted longer. I had given it five stars, but knocked it down to three because of lack of customer service and it failing in less than a year.June 2024So happy with this ice machine! Another reviewer said it would be like Sonic ice and that is absolutely correct. If you like to eat ice, this is the ice machine that gets the job done. If you are anemic, this will be your new best friend. The whole family loves this ice and we never run out. It makes the ice quickly. I have no regrets purchasing this machine.A couple of things to be aware of:1. You have to wait 24 hours before using it for the first time. The instructions say the machine has to be in the upright position for 24 hours so no damage is done to the machine. There is probably coolant or something that needs to settle.2. The first couple batches didn’t fill the basket all the way up with ice. As ice was being scooped out and the sensor let the machine know more ice needed to be made, it finally produced enough ice to consistently fill the entire space available.3. The ice does not freeze well in the freezer. It is delicious directly from the machine, but if you’re thinking of stocking up and putting it in the freezer, you will only find a hard blob of ice. This ice is almost like snow when it’s made. It has a softness to it, almost on the verge of becoming slush. When you put that slushy goodness in the freezer, the liquid holds hands and becomes one big, hard ice structure you have to chip apart.

We enjoyed while it lasted. Kept up with cleaning out the ice maker every 2 weeks as required. It made ice very fast. The down side is it only lasted me 10 months until it started making funny noises and now it’s very loud annoying sounds. So if you need an ice maker for special events it’s great but for an every day use, it won’t last a long time.
