It’s really nice to be able to move the ice maker around to where it’s needed vs the old ice bucket routine. Because this makes ice pretty quickly, it’s much better than relying on the refrigerator to make ice quickly when having a party. Plus, the size of ice nuggets give a great appearance with different bright drink colors in clear glasses.Getting it set up is a breeze. Because of the nature of the ice maker, you do need to make sure it’s sitting upright for at least 2 hours before doing anything else with this. That just gives you time to wipe it down for first use. Then, it takes just a few minutes for the first cleaning cycle, which only involves using water you’d put in it anyways. After that, follow the instructions by pouring water in and let the machine do the rest.It makes the ice pretty quickly. If you do plan on using it for a party, just be sure to set this up well in advance. The time it takes to fill the ice bucket is about 2 hours. But if you’re only making a single beverage, it makes enough in roughly 20 minutes. It’s super easy to keep it going just lifting the basket and filling with more water. You can also choose to connect it with the supplied water input if you prefer not to manually fill it with water, as you would with a refrigerator that comes with an ice maker.The ice bucket is large enough so that you can make quite a few drinks with it. It’s about one and a half pitchers worth of ice when full. If you want it to keep making ice as you go, it’s super easy to lift the basket, pour in more water to the max fill line and let the machine do the rest. When the basket is full, it’ll automatically stop making ice. But, when you start using ice again, it’ll immediately start making it again.While this keeps the ice cold for a long time and continuously makes more ice, it doesn’t keep it like a freezer would. So it’s really meant to be used for social gatherings. If you do plan on keeping the ice for a long period of time before you use it, you just need to transfer the ice to a freezer to keep it for a much longer time. I don’t see this as a problem though, because fresh ice always tastes better.

The media could not be loaded. DO. NOT. PURCHASE.Have been unable to get in contact with anyone from the company for MONTHS regarding the warranty and Amazon offered $150 refund to send it back for a $300 ice maker..My parents gifted my husband and I the Oraimo Nugget Ice Maker for Christmas and we were OBSESSED.After about 2 months of having it (Feb), it stopped making ice and the ice light and the clean light would blink together. After looking at the troubleshooting we understood the problem but began getting frustrated as we were not getting ice.We cleaned it a few times, unplugged it and have it some time, and it continued to work so we thought nothing of it. Come May It began making this HORRIBLE, loud screeching noise and was again not making ice. We noticed ice was getting stuck and freezing in the top of the ice maker however the ice maker would not stop and would get extremely hot. We would unplug it and give it time to defrost before plugging it back in however it now does it every time we plug it in even after giving it plenty of time unplugged, cleaning it, etc. We can get maybe a cup of ice before it begins to do this and we have to unplug it. We are now scared to plug it in as it gets so hot I worry about it catching fire so it has been sitting on my counter unused for months as we cannot get in contact with anyone. We have tried everything and are at a loss and for how much money it was we were hoping to get more than 5 months use out of it.

Bought this ice maker in July 2024. Worked fine for 6 months but now isn’t working. It is still under warranty. I have tried on 4 different occasions to get hold of the maker with no response. Amazon has done nothing either.
