Five Star Reviews: | 59% Works great. August 14, 2017 This thing is a work horse. we got it because my $1,200 refrigerator/freezer makes like 10 ice cubes every few hours and we love ice(even had the repair people come out an the guy said, yeah, because it's hot out, the water in the line is hot so it takes a long time for the it to cool enough to freeze.... so in the summer(or in LA most of the year) the freezer has very low ice output... Whaaat???/ So i started searching for ice makers and found this - right price, right size. we just fill it up every couple of days. . the ice cubes aren't as solid as the ones from my freezer but it cranks them out! and it's been running non stop for a year. This machine is great.. the small cubes are great for chewing February 18, 2017 My husband is on fluid restriction and likes to chew on ice. The ice maker in the refrigerator makes cubes too large and dense for this. This machine is great..the small cubes are great for chewing. Also it is so convenient to leave on the counter as we use several times a day. I bought 2 small plastic containers to put the finished ice into. They each hold one basket of ice cubes. I put a kitchen towel on the counter and when I take the basket of ice out I tap it on the towel to release any excess water then fill the plastic container. When I take the container out of the freezer I just tap the container on the counter to loosen the cubes and they are ready to use. I hope this has been helpful. Ice Ice Ice February 7, 2017 We had another brand and it died. We LOVE this machine for several reasons. 1. Itmakes a ton of ice..our apartment fridge does not have a ice maker. 2. It hold about a gallon of water. 3. it is quiet. We hope the quality continues as the machine gets older. Big thums up. Very pleased. October 2, 2016 Bought this for my husband since we do not have an ice maker connected to our freezer. I am impressed. It makes ice quick. I don't have to worry about constantly refilling water into the unit. It holds 2.8 liters in the water reservoir. You don't have to worry about transferring the ice from the ice maker to the freezer. We have never transferred the ice and it stays frozen. Very pleased. Great looking and works fast. November 11, 2015 I give it five stars. 1 very well packaged. 2 arrived on time. 3 instructions are understandable and actually helpful. 4 looks great. 5 works really well. Makes ice quickly and yes, it makes three sizes. When you get one, if read the instructions You'll have a flawless enjoyable ice maker. Oh yeah I had my first ice batch in 7 minutes. | 82% The draw string makes it easy to close and for storage in the freezer until ... July 26, 2017 Just the right size for use with our new ice maker. The draw string makes it easy to close and for storage in the freezer until adding more ice from the machine. Just what we needed! December 7, 2015 Just what we needed. Could be a little thicker but they did the job and I am pleased with the product and the price. I am going to purchase some for a concession stand that has an ice maker so they can store full bags for easy transportation as needed. Save $$ November 1, 2015 If you use a lot of ice on the go these are super handy and have saved us $$ this summer. Our marina was charging $4 a bag this summer! We use a lot of ice. S I would fill these up at home during the week and use them with icemaker we have at the lake too get these bags December 30, 2014 Get these bags if you have an ice machine, the bags are high quality and the draw string is a great addition. | 45% Really nice scoop. Not using it for ice June 10, 2017 Really nice scoop. Not using it for ice, it works perfectly in my popcorn machine! I was surprised by the quality. Good purchase! Perfect! April 6, 2017 I bought this to use with an ice maker . . . but I have a confession. I have used it with: sugar, flour, rolled oats, chocolate bits, and it is sooo convenient I want more of them. It is my new go to tool! Perfect All Around, Wish I Bought Two! February 22, 2017 We got this for our bottom freezer ice maker. We have for kids, and I quite honestly didn't want their hands in the ice tray! This was the perfect solution. It's the perfect size to pour into a large glass and fits in the small rack next to our ice tray. The kids enjoy using it, so it puts my mind at rest that there are no grubby hands in my ice! It's also dishwasher safe for the times when the kids drop it! I'm going to buy a second one today! Work great. May 18, 2016 I almost didn't buy these after reading some of the other reviews, but I am very glad I did. They are very well made, and feel solid in my hand. They work great and do the job they are meant for...scooping things up...like ice in my freezer. I am not sure what other people were expecting...some said they aren't attractive enough for serving. I guess I don't understand what an "attractive " ice scoop looks like, but I don't buy tools to look at them or to impress other people...I buy them to use. These are strong and get the job done. If you want a dainty delicate acoop to impress your friends...maybe these aren't what you are looking for...but if you want a funtional well made scoop to actually scoop things, these are great. I would definitely buy these again...to use...not look at... Good Ice Scoop at a low price September 11, 2015 This is a nice ice scoop that can be found here at a very reasonable price. I had this in my cart for a long time trying to decide whether or not to buy it, and when I finally did, I was glad that I did, as it is useful in completing ice scooping duties for parties and tailgates. I would recommend this. Just right! January 2, 2012 I got this scoop to discourage people putting their hands into the ice bin in my freezer. I placed the order based on price and later read some reviews that said it was way too small, so I was regretting my decision. However, when the scoop arrived it was a great size. Four ounces (half a cup) is not big if you are thinking of a measuring cup, but as a flattened scoop the size is just right. I keep it in my icemaker's reservoir, it doesn't get in the way, and it grabs 3-4 cubes per scoop (the long, semi-circular type cubes). I might need two scoops for a 12-oz size glass, more if I'm drinking from a really big tall glass.As to the handle, I don't find it uncomfortable to grab. Obviously a rounded handle or one that is not metal would be slightly more comfortable. However, neither the shape of the handle nor the cold from it really make a difference in my ice-obtaining experience: they are not something that would make me return or rate down this product. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 12% Much better than my last one! June 27, 2017 This is my second Ice Maker. The first one I bought had the electronic "eye" that would trigger the machine to stop making ice until is was emptied. That "eye" became defective and kept telling the machine that it was full of ice when, in fact, it wasn't. I assume the machine was still fine and could still make ice if only the "eye" would stop telling it that it was full! No way to fix it! The machine was useless! This machine uses some sort of metal bar (about 1 inch long) to detect when the ice bucket was full. I assume that when ice lays up against the bar the bar knows it and shuts the machine down until the the bucket it emptied. This machine makes 9 ice cubes every 9 minutes (give or take). That doesn't sound like very much until you realize that's one ice cube per minute or 120 ice cubes in two hours. Not bad! I usually make a weeks worth of ice on my day off, dumping the ice into my refrigerator's freezer ice compartment each time its full. The water reservoir is bigger in this ice maker than my old one, too. That makes me happy. It seems from the reviews that others have had problems with their Ivation Machine but so far (I've been using it about 6 months now) I haven't and like this machine very much. Why 4 stars and not 5? Simply because I've only had it for 6 months. I'll reserve a Star for a couple of years. Sure beats ice cube trays! February 9, 2017 I bought the icemaker because my refrigerator in my rental apartment doesn't have one and I use a lot of ice. It works great. My only complaint is that I can't get the plug out to drain the reservoir after use so I have to tip the machine over to empty it is the sink. I had a Magic Chef icemaker which I loved. It died after 2 years of continuous use September 24, 2016 I had a Magic Chef icemaker which I loved. It died after 2 years of continuous use. I like this new one but wonder why it beeps. The red lights indicating it's full and needs water are bright. The additional noise is un-needed in my opinion. Good hardworking Machine June 7, 2016 I like it. Only 4 stars because nothing beats an ice maker installed in your freezer. VERY easy to use. Hard working machine. Takes up counter space ... make sure you have room. I like the ice it makes; shape, size good for drinks. My concern was the ice melting together and not staying in single pieces like it does in a freezer. This happens a little but easily remedied with the ice scoop provided. Turned out to be non issue. The way I use it .... turn it on while I'm home once a day for a couple hours and dump it into the freezer when I hear new cubes are made until the tray is full. I like it, it solved our problem and would recommend it. Wheezes and groans, but works January 15, 2016 Works well, but sounds like it is having an asthma attack, and very noisy when it's running. Ice is very wet, which is a problem when using the ice to supplement the frig ice maker. The ice clumps together because it's wet when placed into frig ice maker container. | 11% Actually 8lb bags, not 10lb as advertised. September 19, 2017 Bags advertised as 10lb, box they came in also marked 10lb, but bags themselves are marked 8lb. Not a big issue for me, but just wanted to let buyers know if it is important to them. Great ice bags January 17, 2017 They work great. It would be nice if you could tie the bag closed. If you lay a full bag on it's side some ice will spill out. That's OK minor problem. Keep using the same bags over and over. Testimont as to how strong they are. I like these bags perfect for ice September 14, 2016 I like these bags perfect for ice. The only thing I would change is make the bag thicker so you can reuse the bags. | 8% nice ice scooper July 8, 2016 this was a great scooper, well made and would be ideal for a bigger ice maker, but not for the ice maker I got from amazon, it is a great item, just would not work for what I had, | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 4% Great while it lasted January 26, 2017 This ice maker did a great job while it made ice. We used it once daily in our office for exactly one year before it stopped making ice. It was not repairable as it appeared to crack on an internal part. Noisiest quiet ice maker I've ever purchased December 5, 2015 It beeps when you turn it on. It beeps when you turn it off. And it beeps like you hit the jackpot when it's full of ice. What'd I buy, a slot machine? No, it's a simple ice maker. What were they thinking with all this needless beeping? You have this very quiet ice maker and then the silence is shattered by a cacophony of beeping. And there is no 800 number to be found in the manual. None on the ice maker itself. If you need help, there is no website. I've had other ice makers that are proud to provide support for their products (Avalon Bay).The 800 numbers on the manual actually connect to a real person. But, the ice maker does make ice as advertised. If you don't mind beeping and no apparent warranty support, this item is for you. It beeps too much. November 29, 2015 It is compact and looks very nice, but the fan rattles and it beeps a lot. I wish they would have said that in the other reviews. We will see how it holds up. Noisy... November 14, 2015 It's pretty noisy. I don't see that anyone mentioned that in the reviews so maybe ours has a problem. It kinda squeeks the whole time.It make ice fine. | 4% Three Stars September 5, 2015 I wish that they were bigger, and they could be a bit sturdier, but they are OK. Three Stars June 18, 2014 prompt delivery and packaging, the bags are a bit on the light side and pricy for the quality | 14% Not great. I wouldn't buy another one. August 12, 2017 Good size and it will work, but it's not what I was expecting. The handle is uncomfortable to hold because it's just a shaped piece of sheet metal with sharp-ish edges - that's the best I can describe it. I doubt we'll use it but I'm not returning this one, since it wasn't that expensive, but I wouldn't buy another one. Good for scoop, but not breaking up ice because of the sharp edges July 24, 2017 They're just stamped sheet metal. The handle has sharp edges. If they dipped the handles in plastic or beveled the sharp edges, it would improve this product. LIGHT WEIGHT July 16, 2017 This is a very lightweight scooper. The one I ordered failed the first day by the handled bending. I'm being told by Amzn item not eligible for return?????????? Is AMZN beginning to weaken their quality on the return policy. More like a flour scooper, not an ice scooper. May 6, 2017 It was meant to go in my freezer tray, but had to buy another to replace this. The quality was fair, not the stainless steel like you have in your imagination, very thin. It scoops just fine. But it's much lower quality—the material is thinner—than ... May 1, 2017 It's a scoop. It scoops just fine. But it's much lower quality—the material is thinner—than its pictures make it out to be. The handle is just pressed sheet metal, which is less comfortable to use than similarly-priced scoops you'd find at the grocery store. but not the best quality. I didn't look at the picture that ... March 20, 2017 I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. It's ok, but not the best quality. I didn't look at the picture that closely (I was buy multiple items) and didn't realize the handle is not round. It's light weight and if you use it to break up your ice, you have the potential to actually cut yourself on the handle. I would recommend looking for a different one. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% Not cool enough (pun intended =^) May 15, 2017 It broke after a few months. Don't have time right now for details, sorry. This is my second review because I accidentally erased my nearly finished one due to my rushing to get out of here. Argh! Isn't that the worst? Anyhow, this machine's indicator panel was not configurated properly so it's functions were not clear. That wasn't cool. And I think I'm in the market for a machine that will store cubes as well as make them. The broken one used to melt all the finished cubes away during the preparation for the next batch. So there times when I couldn't get a decent amount of ice for one beverage. And that wan't cool (literally) either I am not nor will I ever be affiliated with or be compensated by or influenced anyhow by this company or any of its competitors ( I am getting real sick of having to determine which are the corrupt comments) It iv very noisy & you can not get 8 ... August 15, 2016 It iv very noisy & you can not get 8 lbs. in 12 hours it seemed like high maintenance to keep it clean/bacteria-free and it seemed ... May 20, 2016 two main reasons for returning what my wife ordered: after carefully reading the directions, it seemed like high maintenance to keep it clean/bacteria-free and it seemed much larger than she imagined to keep on the kitchen counter by our sink. great size so would have been a great product if ... May 15, 2016 I had to return this item. Perhaps there was a coolant leak? Ice had strange taste and was oily. Makes ice quickly, great size so would have been a great product if not defective. Box was kind of beat up on arrival. | 12% You get what you pay for. October 3, 2017 Not the sturdiest or highest quality of scoops. It would be good for dry items like cat food or bird seed, but not for ice like I'd intended to use it. but behaves like lite aluminum September 3, 2017 Might be stainless steel, but behaves like lite aluminum. Got it to dispense ice, but doubt that it could handle ice cream. Threw it out. Cheap, utilitarian...not an item for the top of your bar March 18, 2017 This is not a "nice" piece for use on a bar. It is a very utilitarian, cheaply made item. Mine arrived with several scratches, and if this is stainless steel all the way through, fine, but I have my doubts, considering how the scratches looked.If you just want something to move ice with, this is will do, but how long it will last is up to question. 4oz stainless scoop add on for Luma ice maker June 17, 2015 Im only giving two stars because i purchased the 4oz stainless steel ice scoop with the Luma comfort IM200SS portable ice maker and the stainless steel ice scoop dont fit inside of the maker. I only gave 2$ for it as an add on so sending it back would be pointless. Just buyers be aware that it will not fit inside the machine. Other than that its a sturdy scoop. its not very thick in size but will get the job done for small scoops of ice. I just wish it had fit my machine. I would have rathered the stainless scoop as apose to the plastic that comes with the ice machine. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | |
One Star Reviews: | 21% DO NOT PURCHASE July 3, 2017 This is the first time I have ever left a review but I feel compelled to do so now. This ice maker is the biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased. It quick working and I haven't even had a year. It makes me sick I wasted so much money on it. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!! Does not work June 1, 2017 I wish I had not bought this it made one batch if ice and now just says add water no matter what I do. Sending this back. Not so much -- May 31, 2017 Arrived defective . . but . . even if it had worked, it's very bulky, takes up a ton of room & doesn't put out much volume of ice. Just buying a bag of ice seems like an easier, much more cost effective solution . . . . . Fast maker July 18, 2016 Alittle less robust than I wanted. Makes ice as stated. Failed after six months. Piece of crap | 2% Out of the 15 bags that we have used so ... August 14, 2016 Out of the 15 bags that we have used so far 4-5 of them are missing the drawstring and a couple are missing the metal clasps. I've contacted the seller. Bags broke June 13, 2014 Bought the bags, filled with ice, put in freezer and when I took them out of freezer and tapped onfloor to loosen ice, just about every bag broke with a single tap - used 5 of them and the rest are now going to be fancy garbage bags as that is about all they are worth... | 21% Not made well October 12, 2017 Don't buy this with the Ice Maker- It's to big to work well and get into the portable ice makers.The ice makers come with a nice small, plastic scoop that works just fine! It has sharp edges and is made poorly. The overall construction is not well made and really no good for something like a cocktail party. Sharp and dangerous October 10, 2017 These are made out of thin metal with seams, baffles and very sharp edges. The handle is an upside down V shape with sharp edges. I cut myself on the handle edge opening the plastic wrap. These cannot safely be used in my kitchen, especially by my children. Cheap crap September 28, 2017 Very poor quality. Made of thin, cheap-feeling stamped metal. Not worth $4.50, that's for sure. Maybe if I had been able to try it first I would have been willing to pay a dollar for it. Not $4.50! Pass on this! Garbage! Don't waste your time August 15, 2017 This thing is garbage. It's cheaply made, the handle is sharp and the scoop is shallow. It cannot scoop ice let alone anything else. I wouldn't even use this for scooping up the dog crap in the backyard. It's that bad. Worse, you cannot return it on Amazon so I literally threw $$ into a black hole. This one sucked. It's think not really a scoop per-se is ... June 27, 2017 This one sucked. It's think not really a scoop per-se is too flatHandle is think and SHARP. I would not want to use this with children or someone with a strong grip it. Mine was sharp and would easily cut the hand Sharp sheet metal handle is potentially dangerous for use with ice! February 9, 2015 I made the mistake of reading several of the more recent reviews first - most of which highly rate this scoop - when I decided to order it. The older reviews are in my opinion more accurate. Upon its arrival, I was both surprised and disappointed to discover firsthand how thin the steel is, and in particular, the uncomfortable, flimsy and potentially dangerous manner in which the handle is constructed. It's rather sharp bent sheet metal, and gripping it is both awkward and and uncomfortable to the point that it is almost painful when cold. A fully rounded or solid handle would be far safer and more effective. While I'll keep the scoop for light duty dry goods, this item will not be returning to my ice bin. If you need a stainless scoop for ice, look elsewhere. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
