Does this machine make the small "nugget" ice--like what you would find at a hospital?

There are 3 sizes of "cubes", about 1/2", 3/4" and 1" tall, and all are about 1" diameter. You select the size you want. The cubes are round with a hole in the middle. They are made by cold round metal tubes that dip into the water, stay there long enough to freeze about 1/4" of ice all around, then pull out of the water and release the cubes.

No. There are three sizes but it makes ice by freezing around a metal pole so they are hollow but smallest is about one half inch by inch. All the machines work same way. I use ice crusher for smaller chips.

No, it will make small, med, large cubes, but it doesnt make little pebble ice or ice chips.

Makes small ice......would not buy!!!! Didn't last long. My review was truthful, not even worth $.01. Have an Edgestar now........great little machine. Save yourself the frustration and don't buy.

Hi Coreen: I've had this unit about 6 months now and it works very well. I'm not sure what the "nugget" ice is but I can say that this unit makes 3 sizes of ices cubes and it's pretty quick about it. I had another unit from another manufacturer before this one and it failed after about 4 months. So far, this unit is still going strong and I use it daily. Hope this helps.

yes they are small with a little hole in the middle of a square. I bought this for my daughter and son in law and they use it for camping. they said that it works great.
2072544
no it doesn't. It makes several sizes but not the small ones like in the hospital
2072545
No, it makes cubes that look like bullets and you can choose from 3 different sizes.

To operate, place cubes in top hole, position cup in front, push button on top, bam, shaved ice. It isn't vintage Snoopy bs.

The cooling and freezing components have restarted for me. HOWEVER this machine has the absolute WORST ice maker I have had the misfortune to own. I am on a first name basis with the repairman due to several new circuitboards, firmware updates, factory ordered modifications and others. Several times a year! My extended warrenty has expired and the thing gets junked the next time it quits. I'd suggest you buy something else!

Just so you know, I adore this machine! OK, your question. Just ice cubes. The trick is you fill the ice cube tray and wait 20min. to make the drinks. Perfect consistancy every time!!

Not close. It take about four pounds of ice at a time. Although, as others have said, you could just use water to make-up the difference which would greatly decrease the time between refills.

No, there is a place built in the machine that you just pour in the water. Turn it on and make ice cubes. You can use it any where there is an outlet. Mine has worked perfectly.

This is kind of a mixed bag. It makes lots of ice and it makes ice fast. However, there is a design weakness in that if the ice sensor breaks off (easy to do). The unit stops working and as far as I can tell can't be fixed. If you get one, be very careful not to damage the ice sensor. Boudraux

yep- not too badly either. I don't like setting the icemaker on my fridge door to crushed ice from cubes because the ice gets all jammed up in there. I use regular cubes in the bullet and it works fine. btw- I got an off brand bullet one time and it leaked all over the place. Magic Bullets won't last forever- they break too...but that is because you will use it so much. I often find the Magic Bullet cups at thrift stores too so you can get additional parts that way. I even got a new blade piece at Value Village last week! This is the first "As Seen on TV" product I would actually recommend.

You know what? I've only used the ice block a couple of times. We're always in a hurry to have some shaved ice so we use ice cubes (ice maker) from our freezer. We just open the top and throw the ice cubes in there. It works well for us. We love this machine. The quality of the shaved ice is nice. I have learned to put a little empty cub under the opening after we are finished to catch any remainders of melting ice. We don't have to clean it up that way. Hope that helps!

Not sure, replacement for a galaxy icemaker? Does it look like this unit? Seems that there is really only a few actual different ice makers on older units so if it looks like yours, I think you will be good.

Yes it does, it has a sensor that shuts the machine off. once it gets low again it will make ice again.

Yes-from manufacturer. I could not keep my machine going even with replacement parts. It is a nice machine and makes soft ice fast but marginal in reliability.
1287099
Yes, just like refrigerator maker. The ice cubes are seperated and not melted together.

it does it automatically but dont put too much ice becuz sometimes it jams but its the fastest machine ive ever used

In our experience, the ice does dispense "dry" and doesn't clump together (as it tends to do even in my less than one-year-old double door refrigerator). We really love this machine -- to the point that my son bought another one for me for Christmas so that I never run out of ice at home. (I might add that we use unusual amounts of ice, both at the office and in our residences.) This product has been -- for us -- the perfect answer to our needs.

Yes...there is a reservoir that the melted ice runs into.....the machine works great....

It appears to only come in one size motor I cannot find another motor size or model different. The design is similar to the Island Oasis machines that professional bars use. It shaves the ice into the blender and then the blender blades blend and cut the ice to make that super smooth drink like you get when you go out.
