READ THIS REVIEW: Magic Chef/Emerson similar units best/quietest model to buy
Some really straight talk here:
The Magic Chef MCIM22TW Magic Chef Portable Ice Maker White MCIM22TW and Emerson Emerson Portable Ice Maker and units "identical to these" (available on Amazon/elsewhere) (Description: 12"w x14"d x15"h case, curved but relatively flat front case w/diagonal canted front control pad, and left-side drain plug ---- are the best units to buy (reliable, reasonably quiet, good ice volume). We have had problems with the Igloo (narrower case slightly different design and appearance. 9'W x 14"d x 12"h significantly curved front case also with diagonally canted control panel).
How to identify the unit you want:
The units come in many colors but generally white or silver. They are similar in appearance and size to counter-top bread makers that were popular years ago (and that made your house smell so good). If you look CLOSELY at the photos of all portable ice...
Gets the job done well.
Folks, this ice maker is available under several brand names; they're all pretty much the same product with some sporting additional features. So far it's been doing well.
We bought this to replace a similar model that lasted over two years before the internal shovel assembly stopped working. I've got to do a little surgery soon and see if I can repair it.
A fine feature of these ice makers; they make hard, dry ice cubes that last longer in your drinks. And it's fast, as advertised. The "cubes" are actually elongated and donut-shaped. The ice maker has three cube size settings.
Better yet, you're going to save some serious money and effort with this product. A bag of ice retails for around $4.00. Depending upon how much you use, this ice maker can pay back within a year.
We'll run it for a day and stockpile the ice in Ziplock bags. While it can be left to run all the time ~ it will only run when the ice is low in the catch pan, we prefer to...
Forever Ice
We have had this machine for 2 years. It sits outside on our patio in Arizona. It hits 115 degrees in the summer. It has been cleaned one a month and has NEVER stopped or had any kind of problems. We just keep filling it with water and it keeps making ice 24/7/365.
