There are traditionally two Chinese manufacturers that produce these and slap on a myriad of brand names but unless this product has gotten the Temu shrink-a-lization, turning it deceptively into a fraction of its normal expected size, these are all roughly identical and do produce a healthy amount of bullet ice -- plenty for several drinks unless you have a two gallon Slurpee cup,

I have owned about eight of these over the last ten years. They all last an average of one year before a mechanical issue shuts them down or they get ravaged by hidden mold which can develop if you allow the ice to melt and re-freeze repeatedly without regular cleaning. If you do get mold, cleaning it all out is impossible and it is better to just throw it out.

Periodically, you will want to run concentrated lemon juice and some diluted Clorox bleach through the machine to sterilize it and keep mineral deposits down. If you are not going to use it, empty and dry it as best as you can. Also, some units have silicone drain plugs that are easy to damage or lose. Keep an eye on it.
This looks pretty Identical to the best buy brand ice maker that sometimes goes on sale for as cheap as $50, just saying for those who are not in a rush.
What is this? An icemaker for ants?

I have this exact model. It's pretty quiet and I really like it, EXCEPT the backet is VERY small. If you like a lot of ice, one backet full is barely more than enough for one drink.

They meant "bucket." Context clues, sir, context clues.

One full bucket is only good for 1 drink? Are the other ones that come through on slickdeals that small also?

I have the version from Costco. About a year and a half old. It works pretty well. It is starting to rust from the metal pieces in the arm and it has a lot of grooves for things to grow.

A couple of reviews says this makes enough ice for 3 to 4 drinks.

You don't store ice in this type of ice maker since the bucket is not cooled and the ice will melt. Instead, you collect the ice as it's being made and transfer it to the fridge. It's useful when you'll have a party and you can make a large amount of ice in advance.

We've had this for a few months now. I think this is our 3rd countertop ice maker since our Samsung fridge ice maker never really worked... Has been great so far. They tend to last about 1.5 years of daily use. No issues with ours. Great price imo. Louder than our last one, but we're used to it now. Runs all day every day
