Igloo Automatic Ice Machine, Self-Cleaning Countertop Ice Maker with Ice Scoop and Basket, Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this ice maker! The directions are written clearly, and cleaning + using the ice maker are both easy to do. I really like how the bottom of the ice maker has a rubber stopper, which you can pull to release water from the basin from the bottom rather than dumping the maker upside down to release water from the top. It makes it a lot easier to use and clean! I also love the shape of the ice, and the amount of ice that it produces is reasonable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost it's a great looking machine and easy to clean. As per the instructions there's a few suggestions on what to use and what ratio to use as well. I used 1:1 water and white vinegar and the ice came out great, no funky flavors or anything. The operation of the ice maker is quite simple. It has one button (power button) which you just press when you want to make ice after filling to the appropriate level with water. The light indicator will glow a bright green when the ice is being made. The other two indicators are for when the machine has reached capacity and ran out of water. The motor stops running if it runs out of water automatically so that's useful. As for the quality of the ice, I'd say it's great. Has good texture and is consistent. It makes about 2 glass cups in the pictures I've supplied which is around 4-4.5 cups in total So I'd say it's an adequate size for a household of 2-3 people . It took about 20 minutes to fill up with the ambient temperature being around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The manual also includes recipes for a few drinks so I guess that's a bonus. Overall I'd say it's worth the investment.
