Sorry I couldn't get a photo, this is the best of 4 I have tried, you name it I have had my share of problems. I cleaned machine like it said to, I even cleaned it a few more times, I left it sitting open for 24 hrs prior to even plugging it in, I use it every day and have not had one problem, well except that I am light sensitive and I swear you can land a 747 aircraft because of the lights on this being SO BRIGHT! I was going to just put a little neutral nail polish over them and that would have worked perfect!, but I just took out my hole punch and used an address label which was white and already had glue on it, you may need tweezers to peel something and it fit perfect. By blank address label I mean I the ones you use in your printer, or the ones they send to you when organizations are fundraising I donate a lot so I always have plenty on hand. Now to the ice maker it produces solid cloudy ice I use a gal jug to fill it with water from my Brita filter on the faucet. In case you don't know according to Scotsman Icemakers cloudy ice is softest, they are the makers of the big machines that produce pebble ice or Sonic ice, I can tell you this ice doesn't met fast for comparison I get a coke from the only place in the world that make a perfect on McDonald's and within an hour the ice is gone! I like cold cold drinks a so I take my own Bubba Insulated Cup filled with ice and I can drink it as long as I want to without drink it being watery, I usually make my own iced tea and drink that, as you can tell I am a picky ice person I like to crunch my ice and clear ice DROVE MY HUSBAND MAD! but Not now! he says he can deal with this. I was using two bags of grocery store ice a day, at $129 a bag, bringing it home and running it through a Waring Pro IC-70 ice crusher and now I don't have to do that small or large cube makes no different I don't have to crush it any more. I made two canvas bags to hold my ice in one holds about 15lbs and one about 8 lbs that way I never run out of ice at all. You will save money! Simple to use and just wipe it clean with a soft cloth, and a trick if you do store the ice in a container is to lift basket almost out and tilt it to drain any excess water and your ice will not stick together. I think I have saved at least $400.00 so far and not to mention the time you gotta lug it in and out of the car, Buy it you won't regret it!

Update 5/29/2024 Ice maker stopped working and we can't get the pump to come on. We have used this machine every single day and have had no problems other than you have to wipe off the sensors with a rag here and there. Only negative thing I can say about it is the height of it and doesn't fit under our cabinets. For the price we paid I think it was a great bargain and will be buying a new dreamachine! ***** Keep making these great machines because all of us Samsung appliance owners need an ice maker that works, unlike the crap Samsung makes! We use this thing every day and it works awesome! Haven't had 1 problem with this ice maker so far. I do like the pebble ice better but if you are like me and don't really care just want ice for your drinks then you will not have any complaints about this ice maker. It's only been 3 months but that's 3 months longer than our Samsung ice maker and almost 3k less so no complaints lol.

I reviewed ice machines for four months before I decided to buy. I was almost to a point of closing my eyes and picking one. But one did stand out and I decided to quit stalling and go with it. It was the Dreamiracle Ice Maker Machine and the moment it came in the door I have been happy with it. I have had it for two months now and I ask myself the questions I had before buying. Does it make too much noise? No, it's very quiet and it you listen very hard it almost sounds like a duck, but you have to listen for it. Does it make ice fast? Yes, I think the makers made it drop the first icicles so you can hear how fast it can be. Ether way it's fast enough for me. Are the ice cones come out wet and stick together when put in the ice tray of your freezer? Yes they are and that bother me during the time I researched Ice machines but since I got this one I figured if the ice wasn't wet when it finished it would not be Ice and yes it sticks to the already frozen Ice because that is what Ice does. In the end I was praised by members of my family for a great choice I had made in selecting the Dreamiracle Ice Maker Machine and my job is to keep the Ice from sticking. After each tray of Ice is made just wait ten minutes and use your Ice pick (or knife ) and you will be on your way to saving money and never running out of Ice. P.S. Buy something like a Brita to keep your water clean for the Ice . Two Years Later: It's been two years since I purchased this machine and I can say with no doubt that my choice was a great one. Buy with confidence!

Let me do a cliffs notes then ill elaborate. Basically it holds a little over 3 quarts of water on the first fill, holds about 3 times as much ice as our old magic chef war horse held. It uses an optic eye to stop production which is a huge step up over the thermocouple our old one used. And it has a self clean mode which is essentially just a mode where it runs the water pump to circulate water or vinegar for 6 minutes. Thats about the jist of what separates this one from our old one. I have had a magic chef ice maker for the last 5 or 6 years. It finally bit the big one. It had a good run and hadn't been shut off in nearly 3 years. I spent a couple weeks looking at ice makers. I go through a ton of ice during the summer. Daily we used all our old ice maker could make, all the freezer ice maker could make plus 6 trays of ice daily as well. Finally decided on this one as its a step up in production from our old one and appeared to have a bigger basket for ice. I was pleased to see it does indeed have quite larger of a basket. I would say it holds at least 3 times what our old one held. Holds about another quart of water as well. It was a little short of a gallon of water. As mentioned above it appears to use an optic eye that trips when its full of ice instead of a thermo couple like our old one. I always hated it because it never failed a cube would get hung on it and trip it before it was really full of ice. Also this one has what they call a clean mode which is a little bit of an exaggeration. But it will be handy. It circulates the pump for 6 minutes. So u could put some vinegar in it and just let it circulate then purge it with water and off you go again. Also it has a drain underneath it. Controls are simple enough. Has 2 sizes of ice cube and then clean mode. Basically 2 buttons. My only concern is longevity. My last one was a trooper and I hope this one is too. With appliances these days its always a gamble and their website looks a little sketchy as well. But its a great looking piece that really brings class to the counter top. I will try and post an update in a few months. I will certainly work it like a dog. Im posting 4 stars so far because time will tell on longevity and if I have a warranty issue or something. The 5th one is earned not given.

This ice maker has been a perfect solution for our household that has stopped us from making weekly trips to the corner convenience store for ice. We make a pot of ice tea a day and, combined with other demands, our fridge ice maker could never keep up. Not to mention the fridge ice maker has been repaired four times in seven years. This is the perfect solution. We just make enough to keep the backup bucket in the main freezer full and then turn it off for a day or so. The machine is very easy to use. Honestly, more of the manual is legal safety stuff. This thing could have a rating of age 5 and up. I’ve only found one very small issue with the machine overall. The ice comes out a bit wet. It doesn’t matter how quickly I grab it after it’s made. It means that when I dump it in the bucket in the big freezer it ends up freezing together. It’s not difficult though to take an ice pick to it and it breaks apart easily. It doesn’t bother me enough to lower the rating.

*April 24, 2022 UPDATE, I loved this machine, until it stopped working. I am currently trying to find help on what to do. I never did figure out how to get it to make the smaller ice but I ate it everyday. Now It says it doesn’t have any water in it when it does!!!!! It won’t make ice any more! 90 days and it’s broken. I’m very upset. I have cleaned it, performed a clean, tried to restart it, all of the things and nothing works!!! If someone can’t help me with this issue, I would say don’t waste your money! This came super fast and was super easy to set up. I could only get the big ice cubes to come out. I switched to large and one batch of small came out but it’s back to large again. I don’t know what to do. The ice is very soft and perfect for ice chewers but I really want to get the small ones to Work. If I can, I would give it a 5!

I see a lot of complaints about taste. I have not experienced that. This is the best counter top ice maker I have purchased (I've gone through about 5 or 6 before this one). It is super easy to use and clean. It holds more water and ice than any of the others. I have had mine for about 9 months now with no issues. It runs 24/7. The ice maker in our expensive Kitchen Aid refrigerator keeps breaking and these are much cheaper than repairing the built in one (which we did twice before switching). Plus, I love the ice. It is bullet style (hollow inside) and I love to chew on it. My juice goes into the holes and gives the ice flavor. I love it!

The product arrived within 5 days. It was packed in 3 boxes and styrofoam, which helped “pad” it for the shipping process so it arrived without a scratch. I use distilled/purified drinking water as we have incredibly hard, mineral filled water that tastes funny. The ice comes out crystal clear and has zero taste to it. One fill of the machine (up to the fill line) makes enough ice to fill a gallon ziplock freezer bag. I make enough ice to fill a bag that I take from throughout the week, then empty the machine (you do have to “tilt” the machine back and forth to get any water that’s in the back of the unit out, but it’s easy to pull the drain plug on the bottom so you don’t have to flip it upside down) and store it on the counter with a towel slid under the lid so it can “breathe”, dry out and not get musty, while the towel prevents dust from floating into the opening. The machine seems to be a good quality, sturdy and incredibly easy to use. The noise level is minimal, the loudest part is the ice dumping into the tray and that lessens as more ice fills the tray (it’s not bouncing off the plastic basket as much.) I feel like it’s a reasonable price for the product you get. I’d highly recommend this product to anyone who asked!

We had it for a year and a half and it just stopped working completely. For the price you would think it would last a lot longer
