  • I've tried to find a better ice maker...
Color: Red
This will be our 3rd ice maker, and 2nd identical one. The first time we bought this ice maker was 12/29/17; the day our daughter's entire softball team was coming to spend the night, and the exact day our other ice maker decided to die. Now May 31, 2019 this one stopped working. TBH, I considered ordering a part and fixing it myself, because it seems to be the pump that stopped working, but given the cost and the time to order a part, replace it and hope I diagnosed it correctly, I've decided to replace the entire thing since we use it nonstop and 2 years seems to be the average life span of one of these machines. I hate to waste time and money, but in the end it seems worth the $200 to have a new one. Our daughter plays travel softball on a competitive team, and she's a pitcher, so we use A LOT of ice. It runs continuously, and has since we got it. I love the self clean feature, although be aware that you still need to manually clean the water tray, and it's still a pain to access. I've found the best way is to use a flexible bottle/ straw cleaning brush to get behind the freezing rods, and a water bottle like they use for football teams (you know, the kind that can be squeezed to spray a stream of water through an angled straw). I put a monthly cleaning reminder on my calendar. It takes about 30 minutes: run the self clean cycle (1:1 vinegar: water solution, so no need to buy the ice machine cleaners you'll see advertised), wipe it out, clean the water tray, drain the water and run it through a quick ice cycle (you have to discard the first couple of batches of ice). As you should expect with a large capacity ice maker, this has a significant footprint, so instead of taking counter space, we bought a low table that sits on the floor next to our fridge and put the ice maker on it. The drain plug is on the left side, so it works perfectly for easy access. We use an extension cord that is plugged into the outlet behind our fridge because periodically, you will need to unplug it for a couple of minutes to reset it (like if the power goes out in a storm). Trust me, it saves frustration when you don't have to move the fridge to unplug it! Because we use this continuously, I've extensively researched and tried to find a better ice maker. As soon as I finish this review, I will be buying this exact model again, and here's why: - Self-cleaning feature (most portable ice makers don't have it) - 3 ice sizes (we use the small one most often because it cranks it out quickly, though for tournament days we make the large size because it doesn't seem to melt as quickly). This is another feature that's surprisingly uncommon. - Side drain hole allows easy access Here are the reasons I tried to find a better option: - Spending $200 every 2 years isn't ideal. However, for the price point, it's hard to find a capacity larger than 24lb/day without making the jump to a commercial ice maker that has to be directly plumbed. - Bullet ice isn't my favorite. As awesome as it would be to make the nugget (aka "Sonic" ice) at home, those machines cost twice as much and make half the ice per day. Considering that we use this ice for water bottles/ ice packs for shoulders every day, the slower melting bullet ice makes the most sense for us. Unlike square cubes, the smallest bullet size will fit into water bottles, even ones with smaller openings. - It's not exactly quiet. The sound of the water pump and especially the ice dropping onto the platform after being frozen and then dumped into the ice bucket is loud. It's actually not any louder than the other portable ice machine we had, and you do get used to it. However, you may want to consider placing it in a room with a door and away from bedrooms if you have light sleepers. - You need to get into the habit of taking a few minutes every morning to refill the water if you use it continuously. Although my family teases me about the bright red color, I like it and it's frankly not worth $30 to get a stainless silver one that may or may not match our other appliances anyway. We've been without this for about a week while I researched repair/ replacement options, and we miss it! If you entertain or have athletes in your family, it's worth the expense. Our fridge does a great job making ice, and we store the extra in the freezer every night, but it still can't keep up with our need. $200-$210 does seem expensive for an ice maker (and the price has gone up about $30 in 2 years), but it's still cheaper than buying ice all the time. During the summer, I fill ziploc bags with ice a few days before a tournament so we will have plenty, and we still never run out because it literally makes ice every 8-10 minutes if the bucket isn't full. Don't let my 4 star rating fool you- I think this is the best option available. If there was a way to remove the water tray and have easier access to clean it, I would give it a full 5 star rating. ... show more

  • Portable ice maker is easy to set up and clean - makes great ice cubes
Color: Stainless Steel
The rental house I am in doesn't have an ice maker in the refrigerator. It was the best choice out of all the rentals I looked at the last time I moved and since I don't use ice every day, I decided it was something I could easily live without. I started out using bags of ice from the store, which works OK. Then I decided that it would be nice to have an icemaker in the house, so I looked at portable ice makers. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to run a water line to where the refrigerator is and really don't want to go to that much trouble since I do rent this house. A portable ice maker is easy to set up and can go with me when I move. Having had an excellent experience with the NewAir AIC-210 Commercial Grade 1 Quart Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker , I put the NewAir brand at the top of my list when I looked at portable ice makers. I finally settled on the Newair AI-215SS Stainless Steel Portable Ice Maker with 50 Lbs. Daily Capacity because I liked its features and I liked it's high daily capacity. The unit has a self-cleaning cycle, which I very much appreciate. My sister used to have a portable ice maker, but it did not self-clean and she said it was really difficult to do manually with her model (I don't know what brand she had.) I put the self-cleaning cycle on, using the manual's recommended solution of one part water to one part white vinegar. After running it through a cleaning cycle with the vinegar solution, I ran a cycle with clear water to `rinse' it. The procedure is very similar to using a vinegar solution to clean a coffeemaker. After both the vinegar solution cycle and the fresh water cycle, I set the appliance on the edge of the kitchen sink, aiming the drain plug to empty the unit into the sink. At the end, I had to tilt the ice maker a little to get the last of the liquid out. Draining it might be a little easier if the drain plug were placed underneath the unit, but I'm not sure if that is mechanically feasible. Still, it wasn't hard to drain it, although I do think there is room for improvement. Once it had been freshly cleaned, I filled it with fresh water and set it to make medium-sized ice cubes. The window on the top lid allows you to watch it make ice cubes, which is only exciting for about a minute. Mostly it is nice to simply see what stage the cycle is in. The ice maker comes with a basket to catch the ice in after it has made, and an ice scoop for serving it. Both of these items can be run through the dishwasher on the top rack, but they were also very easy to hand wash. I filled a couple of large zip style bags with ice ( Hefty One Zip 2.5 Gallon Jumbo Bags 16ct (pack of 2) ) and stored one in the upright freezer in the garage and the other in the kitchen freezer for serving. The bags are easy to handle and can be zipped up to protect the ice. I also like that I can write the date I made the ice on the bags. The maker produces bullet-shaped `cubes' that fit nicely in most glasses and work wonderfully in most drinks. You can use this maker during parties if you want to keep ice going throughout the party rather than make a few batches beforehand. While this machine does make ice cubes, it does not keep them frozen after it has made them. However, as the ice melts in the basket, holes in the basket allow the water to drain back into the water reservoir, recycling it to make another batch of ice bullets. I am very pleased with this ice maker. It does everything I want and has proven very reliable so far. The only thing that would make it easier to make ice would be if it could be connected to a water line, but I really didn't want that feature because it would have required an installation I'd need help with. With the AI-215SS, I was able to unbox it and go with no assistance from anyone. ... show more

  • A year later
Color: Red
I've used this thing a lot- I'm a bit of an ice fanatic. I use distilled water. I only wish the cubes were a bit smaller as I eat them rather than just cool my drinks with them. One year later and one of the hinges has broken. It's a very small piece of plastic covering the pin/screw. Trouble is, the thing won't work without it. I am working with customer service about the issue ... show more
