Nice little ice maker

Nice little ice maker.  We did not notice the extremely limited storage capacity until we put it into use.  It is for sale in new condition for someone that requires less ice storage.

Kids love it! Works great and includes little trays to make ice in the size they recommend. Ice from ice maker works fine too.

Small, quiet, and works faster than you would expect. Ice is full in 50 min.

Makes ice fast and looks nice. Love the led display. Dislike the random beeping. Beeps 8 times when out of water or any issue.  It's kind of loud. The fan is a little loud for my taste but I don't have any other ice makers to compare it to.

Great appliance...makes a lot of ice quickly!  My wife and I purchased this ice maker for our RV.  We have saved plenty of time and money heading to the store to purchase more ice for the coolers!  Simple to operate and clean.  Pretty compact and stores nicely in the RV.  Recently I misplaced the rubber plug for the drain.  Newair quickly sent me two replacements.  Many Thanks!!

Shopped around for a reasonable ice maker for my newly aquired 2002 Carver 42.  It had an old and cranky Isotherm that needed replacing.  I really didn't want to shell out for Uline either.  This seemed like a gamble but at this price I said why not.  It's been out at sea with me over 23 days in the last year and I'm more than impressed with it.  Feels sturdy to the touch and it does a honest job of making ice and lots of it.

This ice maker is spectacular. It's quiet, It's easy to operate, and it puts out lots of ice.

I've really enjoyed this ice maker. My ice maker in my freezer hasn't been working so I decided to go this route instead of spending the money to get it fixed. Only problem I've had is making out the instructions. I didn't feel they were very clear.  One other thing, there are three ice settings. I haven't tried the medium or large but I was hoping the small setting was smaller than what it is. Still, it's a great machine.

I gave this ice maker to my Father at the end of July for his birthday.  He is very pleased with it because he can make ice cubes with water from a natural spring (not with water purchased at the store).  He has used it continuously for over a month and it works great.

I bought this unit to replace a Kitchen Aid ice maker that stopped working. It makes ice quickly, is fairly quiet and the inside frost build up is minimal. I would recommend this unit for anyone considering a cost effective option for an in home ice maker.

Got it for my daughter's birthday and it works great with ice from trays from our freezer, and worked fine with a bag of ice from the store as well. Pretty good for the price, bought it with Hawaiian Shaved Ice Syrup and we've used it 3 or 4 times and the kids love it. Looks fun too.

It works as expected so we are happy. It makes ice fast. For our purposes it is very convenient.  We double filter the water we use at different living locations due to contract work. We will forego the frig ice maker in areas we suspect of lax water regulation. Also some apartments don't offer ice making refrigerators to begin with. Once every two weeks I take it for a good rinse out with a flexible spray head extension in the kitchen sink or the bathtub. You will also need to spray up where the freezing rods are- but they should not be touched with anything but water- so that is why you need to use a flexible spray head.  Another reviewer said that the portable ice maker's interior water compartments should be cleaned upon arrival  from the factory and why, so I used dishsoap on this ice-maker before operating. This is our second portable ice maker. The first one gave out after three years due to compressor failure - and I must say constant use. This is not the same brand as that one, but nearly identical in design.  Using distilled water which is a little more of a hassle makes crystal clear ice but I rarely want to cart those jugs of water around. It is a handy machine and weighing about 40 lbs I can carry it myself to the sink -- or the bathtub in one apartment. As this is our 2nd ice maker you can see we like having one.  It is a big plus never having to make a trip just to buy ice. I wish I knew how long these things are supposed to last with constant use. Its not a lifetime, that is for sure. This Magic Chef has performed well for us to date, plus it is cheaper than the last one we brought.

I read all of the reviews I could find on line for a number of portable ice makers, and fully half were bad reviews, however none of them were really consistent on the complaints.  I decided being out a $160 wasn't that big a deal if it didn't work out well.  I've had the unit about a month and run it several hours a day, about 4-5 days a week.  It was been in the 90's - 100's outside, so I've been making lots of iced tea.  I use about a hopper full to make the tea and by the time the tea is made, ice is ready for the glasses as well.  I use the small and the medium sized cubes.  The difference is not the size of the cube but the thickness. Ice is ready in about ten minutes but I usually wait for the second set because they are a little more frozen.  About an hour and a half fills a hopper nicely.  I store 'extra' ice in the ice bin in my freezer.  At this time of year, I don't need to worry about the freezer eating the ice because I use it so quickly.

Note:  Ice is ready in about 10 minutes but most people will likely not be happy with that first batch.  If you plan ahead and turn it on at least twenty minutes before you want ice, you will be much happier (if you are only wanting a glass or two).  If you need more ice, you should plan ahead.

I ran the unit about 10 hours one day and had enough ice for an outdoor party the next day with 20 people drinking soda and iced tea.

The unit is quieter than the ice maker in my previous refrigerator (which had the in-door ice and water mechanism) and quieter than my dishwasher, but not as quiet as my high-efficiency washing machine.

It isn't particularly heavy and pretty simple to move place to place.

The unit did initially have that lovely plastic smell and I can see how you may end up with the first bit of ice having that taste, however, mine did not.  I did follow all of the directions and wiped the unit out well before using it.

And you just can't beat the cheery red color!&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/NewAir-AI100R-Portable-Ice-Maker-In-Red-With-28-Pound-Ice-Cube-Capacity/dp/B0017Y3GGI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">NewAir AI100R Portable Ice Maker In Red With 28 Pound Ice Cube Capacity</a>

convenient, I like it very well for one maybe two people.  You would need to bag it up to keep up with more than that.  It makes the ice pretty fast.

I really like this small, easy-to-use ice maker.  It has a very small footprint, makes lots of top-quality ice, and performs exactly as advertised.  My wife drinks quite a bit of water all day, so she uses a few pounds of ice daily.  We had to keep six or seven ice trays in the freezer at all time, and an ice bucket to hold more ice.  The new ice maker means more space in the freezer for food, which is great since my wife makes all the food for our baby.  We have more room in the freezer for the baby's food, and plenty of ice for my water-chugging wife.  Only one, small complaint - the start-up instructions tell the user to clean the new machine by running a solution of vinegar and water through the system for two days.  It actually took about four days for all the vinegar to get cleared out of the system.  The ice bucket on this unit would get full of vinegary ice, which I dumped.  I then had to refill the unit with clean water to continue rinsing out the system.  We were very happy to finally get untainted ice on the fifth day.  I recommend using the alternate cleaning method using a solution of lemon juice and water, which will not leave a nasty taste in one's mouth.

So far the blender is working pretty well. I bought it to be able to blend ice quickly and efficiently. I guess it's alright for the price.

This is a great little machine.  It makes as much ice as you need.  I make about 6 gallon zip lock bags full on the weekend when I am at home.  This will last my husband and I all week.  It is no trouble.  I have it on the counter next to the refrigerator and whenever I go into the kitchen I check on it.  If it has quite a bit of ice in it I dump it into a bag and toss it in the freezer.  I love it and I'm glad I got it.  No more trips to the grocery store to get ice and no more plastic taste from the ice maker in the refrigerator.
