I got this countertop ice machine for some outdoor entertaining, and for in the garage. I spend a lot of time in my garage and always have to come back in the house to refresh my beverage. Having cold drinks in my minifridge and and ice machine makes it so much easier. And, I don't dirty up the house as much, trapsing in and out.
Here are my observations about this machine:
It works by chilling the stainless steel 'tray' and running water over it. As the water gets colder it freezes in the tray. After the tray reaches a cold enough temperature, that signals the machine that the trays is full of ice. The system pauses and the ice drops into the bin. The next cycle begins.
1. I really like the way it is designed. I understand the tech inside it and am very impressed with how well it works. It is so capable, yet so compact. The fit and finish of all the components equals that of commercial machines. Very well made.
2. I like how quickly it produces ice. After I filled the tank with room temperature water, it was about 20 minutes until it dumped the first 'tray' of cubes. That load was not as well formed as the subsequent loads. But, it was good enough to ice down four tall glasses of tea. Then, it continued to pump out a new 'tray' about every 15 minutes. Each tray being better than the last. About half way through that first gallon of water, it was chilled enough that the cubes were completely formed and crystal clear.
3. I like the quantity of ice that one tank of water will produce. As you can see in one of my pictures, I have two 1 gallon storage bags full of ice, all from one tank.
4. I like the convenience. Not just about having an ice machine where I want it. But, also for the filling options. You can either fill the tank manually, and / or place up to a 2.5 gallon water jug on top for continuous operation. (The instructions really didn't go into the jug option. But, all you do is leave the black jug adapter plate in place. You have to lift it off, to manually fill the tank.) There is a trip plate in the ice collection bin that will stop operation, once the bin is full.
I really look forward to the warmer months, when I can be outside more, in the garage more and have cold, iced beverages on hand, thanks to this Silonn countertop ice machine.
