ecozy 2" Clear Ice Ball Maker Countertop with CrystalFlux Technology, 4 pcs in 40 Mins, 144 pcs/Day, Sphere Ice Maker with Automatic Water Supply, Self-Cleaning, Enhanced Insulation for Whiskey Bar

Very happy with the machine so far. It’s very easy to use, and when you press the start button there’s no delay—it starts right up immediately. This was a replacement for another brand that arrived defective, and this unit has worked flawlessly. I’ve used it about five times so far and it produces ice quickly and consistently. It’s best to transfer the ice to the freezer as it’s made to prevent it from melting, but overall performance has been excellent. The only minor drawback is that it is a bit large and takes up some counter space. Otherwise, it feels well-made and of good quality, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Makes great ice balls and even comes with water tester Doesn’t take too long Easy to clean and looks nice Just put water and fill to the line and you are good to go, press button to start process

This maker is exactly what I’d hoped it to be! The description matches the product you get. It’s easy to use, and offers app functionality. I didn’t use the app with it, as it required a WiFi connection and I used it in my workplace and opted not to connect it. Before deciding not to use the WiFi I downloaded the app and the machine has built in stock passwords to get started, which almost immediately became compromised according to my password manager on my phone. Anyway, the machine itself works easily, and stay full and frozen as long as you refill the water. It’s great for a larger desk top area, and comes with a scoop. The noise is pretty discreet except when dropping ice in to the basket. I suspect that’s a noise you’d hear with any machine though. I bought at a discounted price, and would purchase again at that price. It’s a good little machine and does what the product describes.

Review Update. When I received the ice-maker and it didn't work, I spent some time trying to get it to make ice and then gave up and returned it and left a negative review. Within days - ECozy contacted me and quickly sent a replacement item free of charge. I'm happy to report that this item does indeed work and lives up to my original expectations. In the world of mass produced items, we are quite used to having the occasional failure - which is usually returned or disposed of with rarely a response from the manufacturer. ECozy is the exception to this rule. They really stand behind their product and go to extra ordinary effort to make sure their customers are happy. I've therefore revised my review to 5 Stars. Original Review >>>>>I read all the reviews and decided that this was one of the better ice makers available. It wasn't available in Canada so I purchased one on a trip to the US. I made the mistake of not testing it before I returned and discovered it was non-functioning when I arrived home. The machine would go through all of the motions, but the tubes the ice formed on never got cold. I tried contacting the vendor who was quick to respond, but they had no ideas other than leaving it running for longer periods and making sure the water was cold etc. I pushed them for some additional ideas on how to repair it, that turned into them wanting me to send them videos of the machine not working. I gave up and returned it to Amazon at significant cost and will buy another unit here from a different manufacturer.

I’ve had this for a week and so far, I’m rolling my eyes. The option of having a water supply and drain lines are present, but I can’t use them due to my circumstances. So I have to manually fill the water reservoir. I’ll start there. The door doesn’t open far enough to fill the reservoir with a one-gallon jug of distilled water without spilling it all over the place. This is the first idiotic design choice. Designing the door to open to 90 degrees would solve this problem. I cannot fathom why it was designed this way. It also makes it more difficult to remove the ice bucket. Furthermore, the “Max Fill” marking for filling the reservoir is not visible AT ALL without getting a flashlight, even though the inside is illuminated and my kitchen is brightly lit. I attached photos of this stupidity. The joke of a drip tray is completely inadequate and useless for the amount of water that gets spilled during filling and regular use. So much so that I don’t even bother to use it. But here’s the biggest head scratcher: The way this machine works is a continuous process of producing and melting down ice spheres, which makes zero sense. The ice bucket sits above and shares the same space as the water reservoir and is perforated on the bottom. This arrangement makes it physically impossible to keep the ice frozen. Once ice is produced, it begins melting. The machine can keep the ice bucket full, but since all the ice is continuously melting, all but the topmost layer of spheres are useless due to being in a misshapen state of being half-melted, leaving maybe half-a-dozen (at most!) usable spheres on top of the bucket at any given time. And those spheres are only really usable for a short amount of time after the machine spits them out, as they begin to melt right away and are unusable by the time the machine spits out the next batch. To make matters worse, once the bucket fills up, oftentimes a sphere or two will get stuck above the top rim of the bucket and melt itself to the lower spheres so they stay there, blocking the sensor so the machine isn’t triggered to make new ice. Before long, all you’re left with is an ice sculpture of half-melted, misshapen spheres climbing up the back wall of the bucket, with no usable ice. Because of this continuous melting / production cycle, it runs nearly nonstop, and it’s relatively loud. The end result of all of this is really wet, barely frozen ice. So wet that I wouldn’t use these in a cocktail right out of the machine as they melt extremely fast causing the dilution level of the drink to go through the roof. Instead, I have to remove the most recent 5 or 6 spheres, if I can find that many looking good, and put them in a container in my freezer so they can be properly frozen. All else aside, I just cannot even wrap my head around the fundamental design choice of continuously producing and re-melting the ice. WHY??? This is not an ice maker, this is….well…I don’t even know what to call what this machine does. Why not separate the water reservoir and keep the ice frozen??? My guess is that’s their gimmick for making “clear” ice - keeping it wet. Because when I put the spheres in my freezer to be properly frozen, they’re as cloudy as my manually produced spheres. This thing is getting returned. What a joke.

I decided to try this ice ball maker bc we never have enough ice to fill everyone’s water bottles. When I first opened the maker I was surprised by its size, it was larger than I had anticipated. I will say there are a number of things I really like about it. 1. It runs very quiet. I have had other counter top ice makers that are so loud, this one is not at all! 2. It keeps the ice balls frozen for a long time, they don’t melt fast at all. 3. It makes a lot of ice! 144 balls in 24 hours is way more than I would ever use but would be wonderful if I was having a party. 4. The ice balls are really good size but fit nicely in water bottles which is a huge plus. 5. I like the option of actually hooking it to a water supply and drain. You have to have the right location to be able to do that but it is a really nice option. 6. The self clean function is really nice. It’s so easy to start and runs quickly. It’s also easy to drain the water tank after running the self clean. 7. Using filtered water the ice balls come out crystal clear! 8. The ice balls are perfect for your cocktails/whiskey. They do not melt fast so they don’t water down your drinks. There a couple things that I could see as improvements. 1. The drip tray is okay but I wish it actually attached somehow. It’s always getting pushed away from the maker and well then it doesn’t work so well. 2. The water reservoir isn’t huge but this wouldn’t be an issue if it was hooked to a water line and drain. Overall I really like this Ice ball maker and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I just got the Clear Ice Ball Maker, and wow, I’m seriously impressed. As someone who loves Liquor, having ice that doesn’t melt too fast and water down my drink is a huge win. The crystalflux stuff they mention really makes a difference —each ice ball comes out super clear with barely any air bubbles, and they melt slowly, keeping my drink just right. The best part is how fast it makes the ice. Within 40 minutes, I already got ice balls ready to go. This is a game-changer when friends come over, and I’m trying to impress them with a nice drink. Plus, it makes up to 144 balls a day, so it’s perfect if you’re serving drinks for a crowd. Another cool thing is how easy it is to maintain. The self cleaning is great, and I don’t have to deal with any hassle when it comes to keeping everything fresh. It’s also pretty quiet when it runs, which is a big deal for me, cause i have it on the counter. & that caused another concern if it was too big for my counter as it can be used comercially to a water line also, but it’s super convenient for home countertop just fill it with water manually. Overall, this ice maker has made my whiskey nights so much better. Totally worth it!

I am very pleased with this machine. It makes a nice-sized sphere of ice and does so pretty quickly. I turn it on in the morning and in a few hours It makes a bin-full of ice spheres. Good value for the price.

I've had this for 24 hours and made sure to leave the unit standing for 12 hours before I even first tried it out. I don't imagine the unit was kept upright during transport by the delivery process so waiting before using gives the unit a chance to settle its 'freon' before operation which protects the longevity of the appliance. It made ice as quickly as it stated it would when I first started it up and the ice does not have any flavor from the manufacturing process. Its pretty quick to get a basket of ice then go dump it into the bag in the deep freezer to keep my ice tasteless. Ive been doing small batches and quick freezing them in the fridge freezer because they will be wet coming from the ice maker and straight freezing them all in the same bag will make the bag of ice stick together into one block. Best to quick freeze mini batches then break them up into the ice bag as you add them in with the rest. That keeps the cubes relatively individually frozen for easy dispensing when you want them. Ive already made almost 2 full bags of ice, which will last some while here for our drinks. I unplug the unit at night and when I don't need ice to be made. The 'laser' shut off works properly and when I have a full basket the machine stops it's processes until the basket is emptied, but I'd rather just shut it down when not in use. I'm very happy with the unit. It's quiet, convenient, and make nice tasty little cubes. If I have any issues with this unit I will update my ratings but so far, it's 5 star all around. Especially since I got it at a 'lightning deal'.

Es un producto muy fácil de usar y muy práctico

Love it..I go through so much ice, and it's getting expensive at 4 dollars a bag. Working great. I love the small ice.

With having surgery I needed ice close by and quick. Using it for drinking ice and ice packs. You get quite a bit of ice in a short time period. I was never without ice after the surgery. It's in my room and the noise does wake me up at times, but I'm getting use to it now. It has become a white noise for me as room mates are quite loud at times during the night. It did so well for me after surgery, giving so much ice, I lent it out for her to use. Her fridge ice maker couldn't keep up to the demand needed, but this machine kept up for her. Highly recommend this. It's easy to move around to use at small family events, camping,
