My new portable icemaker
I plan on taking a trip soon and at 2 dollars a pop for ice I thought I'd give a Portable icemaker a try, Plus I thought it would come in handy at home. Well I shopped around on the internet and stores and selected the Nostalgic Icemaker and boy was I impressed. It started making ice in about 15 minuts and was full in about 1 and 1/2 hours. I was amazed.Well it is better than I expected and just as pretty as the picture when I ordered it. And of course made it all happen. Thanks. N.R.
ICE CUBE MAKER
I WAS GIVEN THIS PRODUCT AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT AND USED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY (JULY 4TH) FOR OUR PARTY. IT IS TRUE THAT IT IS NOT THE FASTEST ICE MAKER, BUT THIS THING WILL CONTINUALLY CHUG OUT ICE CUBES ALL DAY LONG. I LIKED THAT I COULD COLLECT THEM OR LET MY GUESTS COME AND SCOOP OUT THEIR OWN ICE. THIS REALLY WAS A HIT AT THE PARTY AND EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A VERY ATTRACTIVE APPLIANCE. IT ALSO HAS SOME FEATURES THAT I REALLY LIKE. I LIKE HOW THE ICE MACHINE WILL STOP MAKING CUBES WHEN THE BIN IS FULL, SO THAT IT DOES NOT OVERFLOW OR BACKUP AND CAUSE PROBLEMS. I ALSO LIKE THAT WHEN YOU DO EMPTY THE ICE COMPARTMENT IT STARTS MAKING CUBES AGAIN ON ITS OWN. I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE THE SIZE ICE CUBES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE (SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE). THIS MACHINE DOES NOT PRODUCE ICE LIKE A PROFESSIONAL ICE MAKER, BUT I FOUND IT VERY USEFUL AND RELIABLE FOR PRODUCING A STEADY AMOUNT OF ICE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY AND WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND IT!
Don't waste your money
I promptly returned this. It took forever to make ice, was extremely loud, and after running it constantly from 5:30 am to 1 pm, still only had about 6 pounds of ice. Much better off driving to the store and paying $2 for 5 lb bag. Probably used that much in electricity trying to make it with this machine!!!!!
