Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
the machine seems to work very well, the ice sticks together somewhat, like it's not quite cold enough. It was bigger than I expected..didn't really fit in my small kitchen, so it is in my laundry room. Really works fast!

So far so good. It made ice. I will put it to the test on a camping trip. I already tried it with a 2000 watt generator. It works.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
We use this ice maker at our barbershop. It works well (makes ice), but not nearly as fast as they said. Instead of 6-12 minutes, it takes a good 2+ hours to fill up the tray. Otherwise, it's OK. I'd recommend this unit, but certainly only as a portable or secondary ice source.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
Used to provide small quantities of ice for research lab. Works well, makes ice quickly, hasn't jammed. We could use smaller cubes - the 3 sizes it makes are not all that different.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
My husband works outdoors performing construction in Kansas where the temperatures can rise to 100 degrees and higher, plus there can be high humidity. To keep cool and avoid problems such as heat exhaustion, he previously purchased bags of ice every morning on his way to the work site. The ice maker allows him to save money and time. The ice is made at home for much less than purchasing bags at a store, and it saves him the time of making a stop in the morning. The machine does require time and attention--pulling the ice out of the machine and bagging it. However, the ice-making process seems to work quickly and in the evening he can make enough ice for the next day while relaxing.

Sits on counter, nice looking, great ice, fast, I have it at the lake house where I don't have an ice maker in fridge. Requires NO plumbing, just pour water in and within 30 minutes you have ice! Keeps cold, but shuts down making ice when full. Holds equivelent of 2 gallon size baggies full of ice.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
I like the ice for chewing cause it's already melting in it's container and it won't ruin my teeth as bad but for drinks I would like it frozen more for it makes the drinks watered down very quickly.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
Great ice maker. It takes about two cycles before it really gets reved up and then it puts out good quality, firm ice. I put it directly into the freezer in a storage bin, unless I use it right away.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
We bought a top of the line refrigerator that doesn't produce enough ice. This maker really cranks out the cubes. My only complaint is that it's a little large for something I'd consider "portable." I'm a small gal, and it really is kind of big to be taking from home to RV, etc. If you have the counter space, it's perfect!It is sort of large for the kitchen counter.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
Seems to work fine. Starts producing ice quickly after it is turned on. Makes 3 sizes of cubes.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
We live in a mobile home and thought it would be quite handy because we have limited space in our freezer. The problems outweigh the convience of it. If you could make sure there would be little or no problems for more than a week you would get a great testimony from me.
The product took a little longer than expected. I hope the replacement one does not. It did arrive in great condition.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
Icemaker in old frig quit. It was cheaper to replace with this portable along with freeing up space in the frig-freezer. For the cost, I am quite happy with the product.
Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
I use it at the lake. We have not built a cabin but do have a screen porch at the pier and it is perfect to use there.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
This unit works great. Makes ice very quickly and quietly as well. The only problem I had was the "add water light" would come on when there was water in the machine. All I would do is cycle the power on and off and it would start working again. A few times I would have to unplug it but would start once again. Minor problems but easy to take care of. Go ahead and buy it.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
I found it important to empty the ice as soon as it is made so it doesn't stick together. This might be remedied by letting the interior get cold before beginning to make ice, but I never have that much time. Performs wonderfully, exactly as its description said it does. Emptying the drain didn't seem to be a problem as some have said.

We use our new ice machine in our RV and it works wonderfully. It jams up occasionally, but that is the only downfall I've experienced. We recently took it with us to visit our in-laws over the holidays and they decided to buy one too. Great product!

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
The ice machine is a great assist when you've a fridge freezer that just won't make enough ice. Running the machine for one day gives me enough ice, generally, for three days.
I have to admit there WERE problems, to begin with..... The first machine would jam and not drop the ice. Second machine quit working after one batch of ice cubes. I HAD to have an ice machine so I worked with the company until things were right. The company has top of the line customer service which I REALLY appreciate.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
Great deal on ice maker. Produces a lot of ice. Little heavy to take on trips where we need ice, but still able to take with us. Would not want to move it everyday but for the occasional trip we take it is very do-able. Mostly we use this ice machine for our rec. room. We just turn it on when we are expecting guests. Fast and easy to use!

I still cannot believe what a great bargain this ice maker was. After having owned this unit for almost 6 months I still have yet to find one negative thing to say about it. It's so very easy to use that anyone can use it.

When I recieved the package, I must play with it to make sure everything is running good. I played a lot with it and used it a lot for Party. It runs PERFECT. Everyone asked me where did you buy it? I am too far happy with it. I recommend you buy this kind of model.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
We use the ice maker in a small bar in our game room. Machine operates completely as advertised..large cubes in about 10 minutes. It is a little heavy to be "portable". Biggest draw back is the noise while it is in operation. I might suggest that the future models be equipped for hookup to a water line where permenant installation is desired, i.e. under a counter in a bar or kitchen.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
It does not keep the ice cold enough and it melts back to reuse. It does make ice fast enough to offset this. It will fill the basket in less than 2 hours.

Comments about Sunpentown Sunpentown Portable Ice Maker with Soft-touch Controls - BEST SELLER!:
The adjustable cube sizes and tube shape adapt to many uses that make the ice produced by this ice maker extremely versatile. Different drink glass shapes, serving dishes for chilling shrimp and other foods and more easily crushed.
The marvel is the speed with which it produces the ice cubes. 8 minutes versus 120 minutes in the freezer or 30 minutes round trip to the convenience store. We never run out of ice for parties.
I make flavored and different colored ice cubes for drinks to add that extra touch.
Simple and quick to drain and clean.

I love how quick it is when you need ice. In as little as 3 minutes. When its time to clean it though, you really have to get into the parts and clean it which is hard to do...

Really great icemaker, it is fast (about 10 minutes) to make a small batch of ice. It takes up very little space and just works. Have been able to free up considerable space in the freezer. No issues at all.

We use a lot of ice in our family. My husband was very skeptical when he saw the package arrive in the mail. He didn't think it would be practical or make enough ice for out needs. He loves it now and speaks highly of this product.
