This ice maker is always full with ice! It refills super fast and it is really easy to add the water. It does make noises all day.Needed an ice maker that is not to large but also to provide the amount of ice I needed, checked few other options on Amazon and nothing particularly striking, decided an a independent research and found this little machine that was actually on Amazon website, after reading about the features, compared to others, I decided to purchase this unit, was a bit unsettled at first and was eager to receive the machine.The packaging was superb, the machine beautiful to look at and small enough to fit a countertop, next was to reading the manual, pretty straight forward and then...Oh! Lordy was to have this machine live to its expectations, to my amazement, in no time the unit started producing ice!! as I set it to larger size ice.in short, very easy to operated, perform as it says it would, produce beautiful ice in decent time and delighted so far with this purchase, no more buying ice from the store, what a relief this as been.I have had many of these little ice makers over the years. Some have broken down after only a year or two, but most have lasted 3 to 5 years. This machine appears a bit nicer looking than most, and operated the same way the others do, but quitter in operation. I can't comment on longevity but I'm my esperience, the quieter units lasted longer than the noisy ones.Work as expected. Takes longer than 7 minutes to complete a cycle for the large ice option. I use the unit every day for my morning and evening shakes.I got this in anticipation of having an icing machine after surgery. I no longer need it, its still brand new, never been out of the box, but I'll have to pay to return it. I would never have bought it if I'd known that's the case.Makes ice around every 7 minutes but, the ice maker didn’t last more than 1 1/2 and we hardly used it.Lost my 30 days to return to AmazonBut, the company sent me my refund. My daughter has the same ice maker & she’s happy with it. She keeps on daily and it’s working great. Makes ice daily and keeps the ice nice without melting so quicklyI guess I got a lemon ?We've had another brand for our camper. It always made plenty of ice. The magic chef has a much smaller foot print and easily weighs 1/3 of our old one. The old one made 12 cubes at a time, the Magic Chef make 9 cubes. It filled the holding tray with in an hour ÷ or - 10 minutes. A little faster than old one. Please remember that this was only during the clean and test, out of the box. Real test is in 20 days on our two week camping trip.Sept 15th out for a two week camping trip. Day 4 it is working well. Keeping up with the demand for us. Would buy it again.The ice maker is fine and it works. I would prefer a bit larger bin for the cubes to collect in, but that is a minor issue. It is not very noisy but it does take up a fairly large bit of counter space for the amount of ice it produces. I cannot use it in my kitchen. There is no room for it. I put it in the guest bathroom since we have not had any guests for over year.I bought this because the icemaker in my Samsung refrigerator is a piece of garbage and I had to replace it shortly after the fridge went out of warranty. The replacement maker cost $300 plus installation and failed after six months. I can make enough ice in one day to have ice on hand for 2-3 days. I may need to run it more when summer arrives, but for now this is a good solution for us.This is my second Magic Chef. I make a lot of ice. Machine in use every day many times. It pays for itself if it will last as long as my first one. Three years.My husband was so happy with his Christmas gift. Easy set up. Works like a charm. Highly recommend.Muy pequeñaFacile à utiliserEra lo que esperaba, muy buen producto, silencioso y rápido
