VIVOHOME Countertop Ice Maker 33lbs/Day Chewable Nugget Ice Cube Maker Machine 10 Ice Bags Self Cleaning Ice Cube Maker Black

Ice maker on fridge decided to stop working. I ordered this to provide ice since 3 bucks a bag wouldn’t take long to exceed this purchase price. 2 days after it came in, my fridge started making ice again???? I still use this ice maker vs the fridge due to the type and quality of the cubes. Plus, it’s great going into summer when ice consumption increases, especially when friends and neighbors are over. I have both the fridge and the countertop ice to provide cold drinks. One thing to note, there is a “full” ice sensor that will stop production when full. The sensor is right at the discharge side of the ice basket, which piles up a little higher than the other side. If the “full” light is on, and you’re using a lot of ice, just knock the pile down from the edge and level it out. It will start back again, and there will be room for that additional dump into the basket. No, it isn’t loud. No, it hasn’t broken or caused any issues. The instructions DO say that if it is placed in direct sunlight, it might not produce ice because sunlight will give the FULL sensor a false reading, making it think it is full of ice. Enjoy!

My ice maker in my Fridge quit working and the endless trips for ice were getting old. I finally broke down and bought this ice maker and it comes in very handy!! Ice, Ice, Wonderful Ice!! It’s making ice all the time. You do have to empty the bin, it stops when it’s full, I just store all my ice in the freezer. There are 2 sized of ice pellet’s S & L. The ice maker is super fast. Literally 5 minutes and the 1st drop of cubes is ready, Just keep the water full, and empty the bin and it will make ice constantly. It stops when full, extremely quiet, I put mine in the nook by the fridge on the floor. Fit great, has plenty of space, and doesn’t take up counter space. After some use you will see sediment form in the bottom and it will need to be be cleaned. Do NOT follow the instructions in the book or you will be returning your broken machine. Drain the water. Use a microfiber cloth with a touch of bleach to clean out any sediment or ick & dirt. Clean all the parts you can reach. Don’t spray water inside or fill up an drain. It will stop working. Also, these only work about a year. I’m on my third. Eventually the components inside just stop cooperating with each other. It will cycle but it will not draw up water to make ice. You will know it’s about to go out when the ‘full’ light starts coming on when the machine is empty. Some tricks to keep pit going a little longer are to unplug it for an hour or so, and closer to the very end, you may have to lightly kick it it to get it to realize it is actually empty so it will make ice. Not long after this stage, it will die. It is still very Easy to set up, Easy to Use, and I highly recommend for a 1 year machine‼️

I’ve been chasing that soft, chewable “pellet” ice ever since I got hooked at Sonic. The VIVOHOME countertop nugget maker absolutely nails it. The texture is identical—crunchy yet easy on the teeth—and the machine starts dropping nuggets fast enough that my first glass is ready before I finish slicing limes. What stands out Fits the “Sonic ice” craving perfectly; the nuggets are small, airy, and soak up flavor just like the drive‑through stuff. Cranks out ice in a hurry: the specs say one nugget every 3 seconds and up to 44 lbs in 24 hours, and that feels about right in real‑world use. Compact footprint (roughly 9.4 × 13.2 × 15.4 in.) so it doesn’t hog counter space. Self‑cleaning cycle is one‑button simple—no more vinegar‑and‑toothbrush routine. Quiet hum; the compressor sound blends into normal kitchen noise. Bottom line If you want that iconic Sonic‑style nugget ice at home without waiting ages, this VIVOHOME unit delivers. Quick production, perfect texture, and stress‑free maintenance—my freezer cubes haven’t seen daylight since it arrived.

After a small flood in our house thanks to our refrigerator water line leaking and destroying the laminate floor, we decided to disconnect the water supply to the refrigerator permanently and purchased and installed a water filtration system and faucet in the kitchen sink as well as purchased this ice maker to replace the ice from the refrigerator. First, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before making ice. The machine needs to sit for an hour or so to let the refrigerant settle again after being shaken around and turned over. Second, use good clean water and clean the insides of the ice maker before use and periodically to avoid any nasty surprises. Third, remember this is NOT A FREEZER! Once you get the machine up and running you will notice that the ice will stay solid in the tray but since this is not a freezer you should periodically transfer it to your freezer or it WILL melt in your machine. Fourth, there are two options for ice cube sizes. The small ice cubes are just a waste of time. They are so tiny that they will melt very quickly if not transferred immediately to your freezer. I will only make the large ice cubes that seem to be a great size. Fifth, you should understand that when you transfer the ice to your freezer it will likely be wet and once it starts to really freeze and harden in your freezer it is likely going to turn into one giant ice cube. (see photo). Fortunately, most ice makers in refrigerators have the breaker bar to either crush or just break up the ice as it dispenses. This seems to work just fine for our purposes. This machine has several great functions to prolong it's life. It will automatically shut off when the ice tray gets full. It will also automatically shut off if it runs out of water. You need to realize that this machine only makes a few cups of ice before reaching it's capacity. I had it running for a full day and constantly moved the ice to my freezer just to fill the ice bucket in my freezer. My wife doesn't use ice and I only use it to make iced tea and my breakfast smoothies so 1 full day of making ice only lasts me about two full days before I start the process over. This would never work if we had kids or anyone else in the house that uses ice regularly. All in all a pretty good machine and I've had no problems with it but this should be considered an "accessory" and NOT your primary source for ice. This would be handy to have when you have company over and need just a little more ice than your regular freezer/refrigerator can keep up with.

Après quelques mois d'utilisation...j'en viens à dire qu'il y a une option pre-programmé qui est déplaisante au maximum...la.machine s'arrête d'elle même a chaque 2 ou 3 production de glaces ... Et même souvent elle s'arrête après l'avoir parti .. 10 secondes passent et elle s'arrête tout seul .... C'est déplaisant au maximum.... A distance on ne sais jamais si elle fonctionne ou si elle est arrêtée...🤬🤬🤬

Very pleased with this ice maker. Production of large ice cubes is a bit lower than advertised but not a problem to us.

Love that it makes 2 sizes odd cubes. Very fast to make ice.

I got this to stock ice for ice baths. I received it at 11 am and already have 16 lbs ready for tomorrow. Very impressed.

This machine is user friendly works very well . None of the hassles that sometimes come with a fridge icecube maker.
