You still need to move the ice to a freezer if you want it kept hard-frozen long term; this machine's bin is insulated to slow melting, not a true freezer.

How the bin works

The VEVOR 80 lb/24h unit has about a 12–13 lb storage bin with thick foam insulation and stainless housing to keep external heat out.

VEVOR states that with this insulation, ice left in the machine (powered or not) typically stays frozen for around 6–8 hours before significant melt.

The bin does not have a thermostat or active freezing elements like a chest freezer, so the ice will slowly melt and the unit will just keep making more to maintain the pile.

Practical use

Use the machine as your source and short-term buffer (for parties, daily drinks, etc.), then shovel finished ice into a real freezer if you want to stockpile it for later days.

If you plan to bag and store ice for longer than a few hours, assume you'll want a dedicated freezer space.

I have at least 3 different Vevor products. They have all been great. I have a large portable fridge and freezer that I used as a freezer for 2 years. And it has been running as a fridge for 3 years now. It's been great for 5+ years now. I also have some traffic cones from Vevor and stanchions. All have been fantastic. I trust them at this point. That's my opinion.
Edit: And we have a Vevor corkboard in our bedroom that has been great for pinning bills to Smilie

Why is this cheaper than a counter top ice maker?

I mean I can find the cheap countertop ice makers with lower output under $100 pretty easy.

Might also be that the prices are lower because not everyone wants to install an intake hose and drain hose.

I have this unit and it's awesome. 99% of commercial ice makers like in restaurants and in gas stations are not refrigerated or freezerized! They are just insulated bins and they keep adding fresh ice to the top as the ice on the bottom melts. The same as this unit.. if you add a freezer cooling unit to something like this, it turns into a massive solid chunk of ice bin. That's why they are made like this. The one in your freezer is like that because it has an auger/grinder that turns and keeps it from freezing into one big chunk. I just turn this on for a couple hours a day and I just leave ice in it. You definitely want water and a drain hooked up to it. I have a small line running right from the top of the counter by the sink down through the sprayer nozzle hole. The sprayer nozzle doesn't go all the way down in the hole now, but I don't care and I just run the drain right into the sink. It puts out a crazy amount of ice. You can also just leave it on and as the ice melts on the bottom, it will kick back on automatically and fill the top. It's so much better than a stupid little countertop unit that you have to keep on filling up with water. Regardless, it's worth $160 or 200 compared to what else is out there.

I've had a number of random vevor products from chicken coop supplies, toys, appliances, various hardware. Never had an issue. I am finding they make pretty much everything. My city started using their wet floor signs i've noticed as well

Can anyone comment on whether the ice it makes is clear or not? That's the main thing I'm looking for. I bought a Newair countertop maker a few months ago that seems like it uses the same mechanism as this one. The ice it makes is mostly clear, but it seems like we need to clean it with a vinegar solution pretty frequently in order to keep the ice from getting cloudy. If this one's self-cleaning mode works, I might switch.

Clear ice is pretty hard to make. The cloudiness is caused by minerals in the water. Your vinegar fix works by taking the minerals left on the product out so it doesn't keep building up in your water. Distilled water helps. The easiest way to make clear ice with tap water is to make a large block of it. About half will be cloudy and half will be clear. You cut the cloudy ice off and cut the clear ice into the appropriate sized blocks. There isn't really a cheap device that makes clear ice for you. You have to remove the minerals.

Vevor puts their name on lots of products. Any given product is going to boil down to the OEM that makes it.

My work bought a similar model to this made by a different company. Ironically after the Vevor one before it died after like 2 months.

Pros, it makes ice quick.

Cons,

Durabilty - Lots of plastic parts and a very cheap paddle that turns the machine off.
Needs a drain - Not a true freezer so the ice is always melting. Requires a drain line
Due to the ice always melting the bottom ends up just being a block of semi frozen ice.
It's very large and not something you are going to want on a counter.

These are loud. They work by having a water fall going over the super cold vertical cubed plate you can see in the photo. So you are going to have a compressor running, pump running and water trickling sounds.

Also the ice doesn't come out like in the photo shopped picture. As the ice at the top doesn't have far to fall it ends up just falling in one single sheet because the unit actually warms the metal plate up to have the ice slide off. You will need a metal scoop to smack the ice to break it apart.

Atleast with this one people can't easily put their feet in them anymore in hotels and hospitals.

What @Jaxidian said is correct.
The laziest method would be to use pure distilled water or a R/O filtered water and remove everything from the water until it reads 0-1PPM with a TDS meter. There are many filters that do this but you need to make sure its reverse osmosis or the cheapest method to get 0-1PPM water is to use ZeroWater (filters are expensive but less expensive than a 3 stage R/O kit for a short time; if you are going to do this for a long time a R/O kit would be cheaper over time) as they remove everything from the water including minerals. The minerals in the water is what actually creates the cloudiness.
Drinking 0PPM water/distilled is not that great for you either. Contrary to what people say, 0PPM water with removed needed minerals like calcium and mag causing osmosis in your body that actually pull in these ions from its surrounding (from your body through leeching) instead of when provided in spring water or filtered water with minerals added. This can actually cause electrolyte depletion, metabolic issues and deficiencies (minerals in your body). If interested in more info, look up tonicity, hypertonic/isotonic swelling through osmosis. Basically if you get an egg and put it into distilled water, they will swell and if you put it into a solution with matching solute levels, they will stay the same. You want the fluids going into your body to be similar in solute levels as your cells.
