 Hardware & Testing
The Ivation Portable Ice Maker may be compact for an ice maker, but it is easily the largest small appliance in my kitchen  and I have a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. That being said, it is still impressively small.

The best comparison I could make to this ice maker is a mini refrigerator. After the hinge cover is lifted, it reveals the ice tray. Under the ice tray is the reservoir that stores 2.2L of water, but Id say its closer to 1.5L if the ice tray is used. I could take three Aquafina or Great Value 16.9 FL OZ water bottles to fill the reservoir.  The water will then go through the freezing process, and then cling, the ice is made and fills the ice tray.

I would say with almost certainty that there is no filter inside the ice maker. Use filtered water.

Ive used this ice maker for two days straight. Set up is almost too easy. After filling the reservoir, simply press the power button. On 1L of water (two 16.9 FL OZ water bottles), it is capable of making ice is less than 10 minutes, and capable of filling the entire 7.75 x 5 x 3.25 ice tray in two hours. The best thing is that the ice maker is constantly making ice. If any ice is melted, it is remade into ice.

The ice maker may occasionally have an annoying beeping sound when water is low, but it doesnt happen often. Maybe once every 3 to 4 hours. Otherwise, when making ice, it is otherwise silent.

The second best thing about this ice maker is the size of the ice cubes. Cubes may in ice cube trays or by refrigerators are always large  too large. The ice cubes in the Ivation Ice Cube maker are rounded and only 1 x 1 x 1. I could easily use these in sport drink bottles.

Afterwards, cleaning and maintenance is very easy. There is a water cap at the back of the ice maker to release any excess fluid. Just use water and a clean cloth to finish the job.

 Final Thoughts
There is very little that is wrong with the Ivation Ice Maker. It is portable, makes perfect ice cubes, makes ice fast, and cleaning is effortless. Everything about this ice maker is convenient and easy to use, which is why I give it a 5 star rating.
