I was attracted by the item’s description that it is ETL Certified and FDA approved product. This is because I am seeking one high and safe quality ice machine. The streamlined body made by stainless steel is also looked awesome, so I brought the machine to home ASAP. For the using experience, I was satisfied with the time of making ice, 6-8 minutes for 9 ice cubes , but there is one thing you should know that you should standby the machine at least 2 hours in your first use. I didn’t know this until the wonderful seller told me that almost all the machine with refrigerating system need standby for 2 hours in the first use because the compressor need reheat, and you don’t need to do this for your next use. I like this portable machine.

We recently hosted dinner and I put ice trays in my freezer in the morning and it still was not completely frozen by time our guests arrived. I got this so that we can be better prepared for next time. This takes about 8 minutes to make 10 small ice "cubes" and 9 minutes to make 10 large. The small cubes will fit in a water bottle.It is quite fascinating and fun to watch. It is nice how fast the ice cubes are put together. You can run this for an hour or two and fill up a ziplock bag of ice and keep it in the freezer so you always have ice on hand. Great for if you don't have a freezer with a built in ice maker or if you want a way to continually get ice for an event.

I researched ice makers for a long time and finally decided on this one. I have used it for about a week and just love it. It really does take about 6 or 7 minutes to make a batch of ice and there is not much noise…Very pleased with this product, portable but produces ice just as expected.

Using this to replace the fridge icemaker until it can be replaced. The sound is not too loud as the machine is in the kitchen and I am in the next room. It is a little work horse! The only (sort of) negative is that the ice bucket holds enough water (after draining back into the machine) to cause the ice to freeze to the previous batch of ice when dumped in the freezer. Solution number one is to dump the new batch into the freezer bowl after a quick drain of the new ice onto a dish cloth; solution number two is to periodically smack the ice in the freezer to break it up before it becomes a solid block - easy enough. I would buy this machine again.

Works. Makes first batch in about 6-8 minutes, first batch is thin, but then it gets thicker and thicker, its all described in the Manual that comes with it. Made about 15 lbs of ice in 6 hrs.Used the ice in a good portable cooler and it lasted all day. Like i said so far works great, it does make noise when making ice but its not that loud and what ice maker doesnt make noise....

HAVE TO SAY IT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IV'E BOUGHT AS FAR AS A SMALL APPLIANCE!!!! AFTER THE CLEANING PROCESS AS RECOMMENDED I HAD A BAG OF ICE IN ABOUT AN HOUR. I WANTED TO STOP MAKING SO MANY TRIPS TO THE STORE TO PURCHASE ICE AND I'M GLAD I BOUGHT THIS ICE MAKER. LOVE IT!!!!!

I have found that the unit is smaller than I needed. I should have gotten a larger capacity. The bigger issue is that it is very noisy. It was quiet for about a week and then sarted making alot of noise. Either the fan bearing are incorrecectly or the cabinet sides are so close to the fan blades that any minor fan shaft movement causes it to come into contact with the sides. My recommendation: DO NOT GET THIS MODEL.

I had been looking for a small portable ice maker for my office, as I use a lot of ice during the day for my drink, but no ice maker in the building. I ordered this Allsees, which is perfect, not only it has high quality look and feel, but also it is so quite not bothering people when they work in the office and made enough ice for us. I love it! I may also try to take it out, when our office people organize party next time.
