IGLOO 26 lb. Freestanding Ice Maker in Silver

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Now I have only had this up and running for a few days but I am so pleased with this ice maker already. I am an ice eater, who, I must point out to those who are not familiar with us, are picky as hell about the quality of ice we eat. It needs to be small nuggets and it also needs to be "soft ice". I know others who would review this product based on its productivity or energy usage, which seem to all be just fine but this is for other ice eaters out there:



The size is that of a thimble, and varies as much as thimbles would. The texture of the ice when eaten is like a tightly packed little snow nugget. I think that is due to the fact that the machine is trying to crank out the ice so its not freezing it as sold as an ice cube tray would, its actually a pretty soft ice.



I have been filling my cooler (half gallon) and two 24 oz cups about 2-3 times a day to keep up with my consumption and its holding its own just fine. I can't eat faster than it can produce because I would just get too cold anyway but the rate that it produces the ice (9 nuggets every 8 or so minutes) seems to be almost perfect.



The machine doesn't keep it cold so you will need to remove the ice as the tray fills up so it will continue producing more ice. If you leave the ice in the tray it will just melt eventually back into the water reservoir and be recycled into new ice if you aren't able to use or remove it in time. Avid ice eaters will spend up to $4000 or more on a machine to get the "right" ice, so for those of you who are strapped with this crazy habit and not strapped with a crazy income, this will do the trick for you, no doubt.



It has two sizes of cubes to choose from and I just keep it on the smaller size, I still would like it a little smaller but this is definitely do-able. Its not sonic ice, or Orange Julius ice, but for a ice machine with the convenience of at home and always available you won't find better textured ice for the price.



I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is concerned about the texture of the ice. I read so many reviews before buying this machine and there is NO information out there on the texture of the actual ice produced. So until you win the lottery or your ship comes in, this is a great low cost counter top machine that produces the right textured ice. Two thumbs up from me!
