Product review (5 stars): Ice! When Do You Want It? NOW!!!
I bought this ice machine because we have a tiny apartment with a small
refrigerator and freezer to match. There is not enough room in our freezer
for our frozen foods never mind ice.
I didn't think we would rely on this Ice Maker for all of our ice, just a
backup for our ice bag purchases from 7-11.
However, we now use it about 2x a week to make a few batches of ice that
we use all the time. I sometimes leave the last batch in the machine in
the basket and just scoop as I need it. I love my Emerson ice maker!!
It works flawlessly. It does make some sounds while making the ice.
I am in the same room, but not bothersome. I like hearing the ice
dropping in the basket. It works quickly and the bullet shaped ice
lasts so much longer than store bought ice.
And where does that store bought ice come from anyway?
Who knows?
I know my ice is made with bottled spring water and it tastes
great!
If you like crushed ice, just put in gallon-size zip lock bags
and tap lightly with hammer...Voila!
This machine sits on our countertop and is about the size of a bread maker.
Just follow the easy directions for setup and use and you are good to go.

I love it, will use it all through the summer for all our cold drinks.
Cheers!
