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

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.

While I have only had this Govee ice maker for a week, I am truly impressed. Can’t speak to its future longevity, but after making 10 batches of ice in a few hours I can speak to its speed and the quality of the ice. I used a total of two 1 quart bottles of electrolyte water from Trader Joe’s to make enough to fill 2 gallon sized ziplock bags - about 8 full batches of medium and large ice cubes, 4 for each gallon bag. The machine signaled with a beep and with a red light indicator as to when to add more water. I emptied each new batch into the ziplock bag when the machine signaled that the basket was full, and placed it in the freezer as I waited for the next batch. The first two batches produced clear ice, but after those were in the basket, the next batches were more cloudy. I believe this was due to the temperature in the machine was affected by the accumulating ice. If I wanted crystal clear ice, it would be worth trying to empty the ice after each 6-8 minute cycle, and not let the ice build up in the basket to a full batch and to chill the water needed for one or two cycles of the ice making rather than filling the tank to capacity (which makes nearly full baskets.I found the Govee icemaker to be very well made and sturdy. The transparent blue protective manufacturing/shipping plastic wrap on stainless steel body is easy to remove if you unpeel it slowly. This was the perfect and cost effective way to having better, faster and tastier ice than my now malfunctioning refrigerator’s icemaker.

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 sizec) 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.

Works great. Only thing that is annoying is that it beeps when it is full. There is no way to shut the beeping off.

I love the Bluetooth function. I can have it start making ice on my way home, makes ice in 6 to 7 mins

Good quality, durability, style, size and value for your money. You won’t be disappointed!

I purchased this icemaker after a previous purchase of a competing brand turned out to be a total bust. This one I’ve had this one for almost a year now and it has worked wonderfully. I keep it in my garage, which is very dusty, but this machine holds up even in a dusty environment. My only complaint is that the ‘ice full’ sensor is overly sensitive, as it turns the ice machine off prematurely. But overall, a great product for the money.
