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?

Reading everyone descriptions, I'm still confused how this thing works and whether or not I can use it to keep ice available for when I need it maybe once a week. It doesn't sound it it's a freezer that runs 24-7? It makes ice the same way a pop corn maker makes pop corn? When it's done making, it stops making ice, and the ice that it made...starts to melt? And you have to start it up again or something?

I don't know, am I being dumb? Does anyone utilize these table top ice makers to just keep ice available for some random once a week use? Does is that super inefficient due to how these function?
Your popcorn analogy is pretty accurate. We don't have an ice maker, so we picked this up instead of using the ice trays. We put water in it, it turns to ice in the bucket, and then we empty that bucket into a gallon zip lock bag in the freezer. Then we fill it up a few more times until we have a bag full, and then just shut it off.

I definitely like these little bullets better than regular ice cubes. And since it's a stand alone system, all it needs is a regular power outlet, so it doesn't need to be in the kitchen. We just put it in the laundry room out of the way.

Glad to hear it meets your needs. Many others like myself would prefer not to spend a few hours every evening, much less six hours in one day, tending to the machine. I'll continue to use ours when the refrigerator's own ice maker is insufficient to meet our needs, which seem to exceed yours. We use more than five pounds per week.

Another alternative is simply ice trays. A two pack costs $1.25 at Dollar Tree. A couple of these might make as much as the posted ice maker. Assuming you have enough space in your freezer of course.
So you have an ice maker that works well for you and you're complaining that a countertop ice maker isn't as good as your built-in? Why are you even commenting on this post? It's clearly not for you.

Anyone consider this for camping. Maybe a dedicated cooler the ice could drop into automatically?Just have it sit on top and run to fill a small cooler with some sort of funnel?
The cubes are dropped directly into a basket that resides in the machine.

I never said that I had an ice maker that worked well. Had you taken the time to read my posts instead of sending snarky comments, you would know that I said that I have a crappy LG refrigerator that does not have sufficient ice production, a trait shared by Samsung refrigerators. The countertop unit that I purchased is used occasionally to supplement the refrigerator's inadequate built in ice maker.

My first comment in this thread was in response to someone who seemed to wonder how the posted ice maker could produce 26 pounds of ice given the small size. I stated that it was indeed possible to make that much ice, just not at one time. Furthermore, I also said that there is a need for these devices for some consumers. I am one. Just not an everyday user.

Not sure why you're insulting me but I'm only trying to be helpful to others.

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

Backet is a real word and if you've never used one of these devices before you might think that "backet" is an ice maker specific item.

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.
