Quiet and fast
After reading somewhat mixed reviews I was a bit hesitant to buy this ice maker. Good surprise. It is so fast in just a few minutes we have ice. They're not that big and a little wet but we put them in our freezer and they're great. Some customers complained about the noise but I can hardly hear the machine running. All in all we are very satisfied with this ice maker, it works good and the price was very reasonable. I can recommend this machine.

Small footprint for RV applications and fast first ice
Works really fast, but small ice holder. But that's the good thing about this unit. It's small and fits in my sink of my RV (making it safe for travel and easy to fill) so I can make ice while running down the road. No need for starter ice in the freezer.

"Ice machine" does not take up a lot of room. Automatically makes ice
It is smaller than my other ones I've had YET I do love that it automatically starts making Ice cubes as soon as the basket is close to empty. So I like that. But you do have to add water frequently. It does make Ice VERY fast. Good size. Smooth.

Solid ice maker!
The Antarctic Star Countertop Ice Maker has been great for quick and convenient ice at home. It’s impressive how it can produce up to 8 ice cubes in about 6 minutes, and the two size options are a nice touch depending on what you need for drinks or coolers. The compact, portable design fits well on my countertop without taking up too much space. It’s fairly quiet for a machine this size, and I appreciate that it can produce around 26 pounds of ice a day — more than enough for parties or daily use. The only minor downsides are that the ice basket isn’t very big (so you have to empty it often), and the water reservoir could be larger to avoid frequent refills. Overall, a solid countertop ice maker that delivers fast, reliable ice with minimal fuss.

I don’t sleep in the kitchen
This little ice machine is absolutely amazing. I used to get tired of having to refill the ice trays in my home because I have a family of six and none of my kids ever refill. The ice trays. With this little unit, all I have to do is pour water in the reservoir every now and then which takes literally 10 seconds and I have ice for the entire day maybe even two days. It makes ice really quickly, the description is spot on. However, please know that the quality of the ice is not gonna be like the icing your freezer where it’s very very hard. However, it does get the job done, which is to cool your drink. And that’s the reason why I’m giving it five stars. By the way, it is a little noisy, but that’s OK because I don’t sleep in the kitchen.

Countertop ice maker - so cooool
5 star. Have had about 2 months and it's working like a champ. The first 2 ice dumps might be a little wonky, but then ice kicks out steady and consistent. I love the turquoise color and especially the bottom drain plug. Makes it easy to empty and dry out between usage.

A GREAT ICE MAKER!!!
Our 8 yr old, like new, frig has a broken ice maker which cannot be repaired. My hubby has been driving to get ice and of course, storing it in the freezer. I surprised him with this ice maker for Christmas..! He likes it so much that he threw the bag of ice away from the filling station. Wow!!! What a machine. I keep it on our kitchen counter and we have purified water that we use or you can use bottles of water from the store. We just love it and the price is right for this little machine. It's smaller than our Ninja (small) AF. So, not much used-up counter space. Thank you for making this. Easy to work and great little machine.

Creates mold after a week and is loud
This icemaker is great but if you don’t clean it out once a week you get mold inside. My daughter has one in her dorm room at school and the same thing happens to her also. Spend the money on a better one that you can actually clean. It’s also noisy. The ice tastes fine, it’s small and doesn’t take up much counter space. And it’s durable but the mold is an issue when ur eating the ice it’s producing. The color is black andvibrant

It’s very nice ice and created in no time. The only thing I wish is that it would act as storage for the ice but you have to turn it off once you’re done making ice. It fits well on the counter.
