COWSAR Nugget Ice Makers Countertop, Soft Chewable Crushed Ice Maker Machine, Portable Pebble Ice Maker Countertop, 34Lbs/Day, Self-Cleaning, One-Button Operation Ice Machine for Home Kitchen Party

We liked the ice it was producing, but really expected it to last longer. Based on other reviews, I guess we were lucky it lasted this long. It started making a horrible high pitched grinding gear noise that was intolerable. Anyway we turned it off and into the garbage bin it goes. It’s CRAP!The seller offered to replace the ice machine after seeing this review. The replacement was delivered promptly and has been working perfectly. You don’t see this type of customer service anymore. Very impressive. Hope the little machine keeps putting out ice.

Purchased July 2024, worked great. Most reviews said it was loud, not gonna lie, it’s noisy, so I placed it in my pantry and all was well, even though I could still hear it. It got louder and louder until all I got was an extremely loud buzzing sound, louder than my smoke alarm. Afraid it would catch fire, ( outside was extremely hot to touch) I unplugged it and haven’t used it since. I’ve contacted the company for a replacement, left a message. They returned my call within 5 minutes, texted me instructions to clean the ice maker with vinegar and purified water x3. Will update after this is done.

Love the crushed ice that this makes. I leave it on so I have ice all of the time. The fridge ice maker ice has a taste I don’t like and is big cubes. This ice maker is perfect.

Wasn’t too loud or big, but took awhile to make ice.

The media could not be loaded. I had no idea that you could get this kind of ice at home. My second little ice maker. First one makes bigger cubes. I love love love this ice maker. I will never be without it again. That being said. It makes plenty of ice for two. It does make noise when making ice but it’s not annoying or that loud in any way. Easy to operate. It lets you know when it needs more water.Perfect for margaritas at home. Best thing I’ve ever ordered from Amazon. I use it multiple times a day.We purchased when our refrigerator went out and we had weeks until the repair guy could get to us. Then had a 2nd compresser put in frig so we had to have an ice backup. Like much better than our refrigerator ice.This ice gets a 10. Soft ice.

I bought this ice machine, not knowing what to expect. Our ice maker on our fridge went out. So I was buying sonic ice. But I had seen these that make crushed ice. And thought I would like to try one. But they were very expensive. But then I seen this one with $50.00 off and decided to try it. It's great. It will pay for it's self in a few months, of not buying ice from sonic.it makes a good amount of ice each day. And it only took about 5 mins to start making ice the 1st time. It has a signal that lets you know when to add water and when its full of ice.It's very easy to operate and it makes good ice. It's a bit noisy sometimes. But nothing to loud. It fits on top of my counter perfectly. It's a good little machine and worth the money. And I don't give a lot of good reviews. Thumbs up!Updated 01/19/25 my ice machine went completely out. I cleaned it again thinking this would fix it. But it did not. So in the pamphlet that came with the machine, was a phone number. I called customer service and the things I had to do. 1st take a video of it after showing the time. 2nd plug it in and 24 mins later take more video of the machine, had to video the front of machine then show the water inside the machine, then put my hand by the fan on the side of it and say if it was blowing hot cold or no air. Then video the back of machine. So I did everything I was ask to do. The next day I got a text asking me for the order # again. I sent a text back with the # but I ask how long the process took to receive a new unit ? I was told 3 to 4 business days to go over my warranty options and then they will let me know something. I jump through hoops to get all this info to them. And I still don't know if they are going to replace the machine . I have not even had this machine for a year. So I'm not so sure about this being a great deal after all.

So disappointed. I bought this for my daughter and after 5 months, it started making a horrible noise and it does not work. She loved it when it was working but now it’s useless.Edited to add… they are shipping me a replacement ice maker. They responded quickly and have been helpful.

I think this works fairly well. You just have to start it about 10 minutes before you want a cup of ice. My only complaint is it’s very noisy.
