GoveeLife Smart Countertop Ice Makers, Portable Ice Maker Machine with Self-Cleaning, 6 Mins 9 Bullet Ice, 26lbs/24Hrs, Voice Remote for Home Kitchen Party Camping, with Ice Scoop Stainless Silver

This is a great small, countertop ice maker. Pros: 1) Small and compact. Fits anywhere. 2) Makes ice, very quick. Turn it on and within five to six minutes you have your first ice cubes. 3) Can be operated remotely. a) Turn it on/off, b) Change the ice size c) Schedule when it operates. d) It will message you for the following: ice maker is full of ice, Low water, It needs cleaning. One note on this one, if you do not clean it when it asked, the ice maker WILL start messaging you, that it has been a while since you cleaned the ice maker. I really like this feather, it keeps you aware of keeping the ice maker clean. No one wants to have dirty, fowl tasting ice in their drinks. d) Turn on cleaning. The only con, which I will not reduce my rating is: The drain plug is small and on the bottom of the Ice maker. It is recessed where it is not easy to get to. So instead of pulling the drain plug, I just pick it up and dump it. It does not weigh that much, even when full of cleaner. In reality, it is easier to just dump it than to pull the plug and wait for it do drain out that tiny drain hole. I do clean mine at least one a week. Put cleaner in it. I run it on clean a few times. Dump it and run clean using clean water a few times, dumping it between the runs. I do not want to taste cleaner in my ice. Would I buy it again. Yes. It is a very nice looking, small and quickly working ice maker. I could not be happier.

My father-in-law LOVES ice. We got him this as a Christmas gift and he loves it! The whole process to set it up was so fast and easy. He even yelled with excitement “my ice maker is full, my phone just notified me”. He called us again to tell us how much he loves his gift. We are gonna buy one for ourselves now since we know it works so great and we can control it from our phones with the app.

First day has been great, exactly what I expected. I haven't connected it to WiFi yet, but it isn't necessary either, it works fine without it. The unit has 3 ice cube size settings, and is designed well, it keeps the ice frozen better than my last one. The water chamber is below the ice tray, like most lower cost models, so the water is recycled to make ice. There is an alarm that goes off when the ice bucket is full, it is loud enough to hear from the neighboring room, in case you want to remove the ice. As soon as the ice is cleared, it starts making ice again, without addition intervention. The ice chamber is slightly larger than my last model, and the water chamber is also slightly deeper. The unit is easily cleaned with the self clean feature. To keep it clear of any gunk, it should be cleaned regularly. I clean mine with citric acid, it works very well to keep appliances that use water, clean. The ice so far has been clear, and tastes good, I use filtered water as well. The water chamber has a small plug in the bottom so it can be drained into a bucket or straight into the sink. The unit is quiet, it makes the same amount of noise as my last one. The unit is very good way to use, and super self explanatory.

I’m only giving it 4 stars because the ice on the small setting is still quite large. Otherwise, the ice is soft and easy to crunch. We have not had any issues and it has WiFi. It stops making ice once the basket is full. The basket is flimsy. I chose this brand because I have other smart items from this company that have been good so I trust them. I would prefer nuggets ice but those machines don’t last past a year and it’s not worth the money. Good machine so far. Will update if it that changes.

I love that I could use Alexa to turn on the ice machine and it makes ice super fast

We’d love this thing! Our old refrigerator didn’t have a icemaker and we really didn’t want to have to buy a new one since it worked perfectly, so this was perfect. It works great, so nice to have ice one ever we want it without all the loading of the ice trays..

Day I got it I thought it was a joke, small, NEVER going to keep up. I was hopng for it to be bigger and they did provide measurements. I lowered my expectations thinking this would crank out like 40lbs a day or something. I have a huge 128oz Cup I use all day long mainly at Dinner and Night. Great thing was I could have my water in the 128oz dump a whole basket and it was great, usually need to dump twice or add other ice from freezer if its really hot. But it kicks out the ice pretty quick, I just dump and fill and it catches up soon to my 128oz cup. My kids scoop it at dinner for there cups and it works. It is a little work hourse, fill it once in a while with water and will just keep going, low maint. and I kee dumping and using it. Great BUY, Low power! and makes good ice. Will buy again if this dies.

I’ve been using the GoveeLife Smart Countertop Ice Maker for a bit now and overall it’s a solid little machine with a few things worth knowing before buying. Pros: • It’s quiet compared to most countertop ice makers. • It makes ice quickly (about 6 minutes per batch). • It produces three sizes of bullet ice, which is a nice option depending on what you’re using it for. • The self-cleaning feature is convenient. • Build quality feels good and the stainless finish looks nice on the counter. Things to know: The ice scoop isn’t magnetic, so there’s no obvious place to store it on the machine. You’ll need to find a spot for it or keep it in a drawer. Also, the ice melts fairly quickly. This isn’t dense “nugget” or commercial ice like you’d get from Starbucks. Because of that, if you’re filling a drink with room-temperature liquid, the ice will melt faster than expected. I usually have to layer the drink — add ice, pour water, add more ice, pour again — otherwise the first batch melts before the drink gets cold. Another side effect of the softer ice is that capacity feels limited. You often need to stack multiple batches if you want a full cup of ice, which means the bin can empty quickly. Bottom line: This is a great little machine for personal use—like keeping it in a bedroom, office, or small kitchen where you just want a quick cold drink at night and can split the ice between one or two people. However, it’s not ideal for parties or multiple drinks at once, since the ice melts quickly and the bin capacity runs out fast. Overall: convenient, quiet, and fast—but best suited for light use rather than entertaining.
