This ice maker is a lifesaver! It starts dropping cubes within minutes and keeps up with my family's needs easily. It's much faster and quieter than my refrigerator's built-in maker. The ice cubes are clear and the perfect size for cold drinks. Highly recommend it for anyone who hosts parties or just loves iced coffee!

Perfect for Whiskey %26 Cocktails!

I love this sphere ice maker—it’s a total game-changer for drinks on the rocks. The large spheres melt much slower than cubes, so my whiskey stays cold without getting watered down. It’s way faster and more convenient than messing with silicone molds. Two quick tips for the best results: Use Distilled Water: If you want that crystal-clear, "glass-like" look, skip the tap water. It makes a huge difference in clarity. Transfer to the Freezer: Since the storage bin isn't refrigerated, the ice will eventually melt. I move my spheres into a freezer bag once they're done so I always have a fresh stash ready to go!

Cool sphere ice maker, buy at discounted price

I bought this at a good price, not the lowest because it went down but definitely a good price. Ice maker makes great sphere ice! It does take a long time, a lot longer than other ice makers (this is our 3rd) but the sphere ice is cool/different and seems to last longer than the nugget or clear ice from the other machines. Love it for my bourbon, mixed drinks or really anything you want to drink cold. Again either save and freeze extra ice or don't expect to have ice quickly.

Costly, but worth it!

This was a costly purchase, but worth it! The machine is easy to use and the spherical ice is the best. The only upgrade I made was to put it on a low turntable/Lazy Susan (that I constructed!) to enable the ease of turning it around to drain the unused water from the back. Luckily, my turntable was low enough that the machine still fit (barely) under the kitchen cabinet.

Great ice maker, works the way it should, wish they were a little bigger in size, but convenient machine to have on hand. Easy to care for instructions for use is clear. Use distilled water as recommended.

Amazing Ice Maker for all kinds of drinks!

Great Ice Maker, compact size is perfect for our small kitchen. We have assembled bags of the spheres for larger parties or gatherings, it is a small unit and produces ice very quickly, it just can’t hold enough ice during parties or large family meals to keep up but the spheres are slower to melt than cubed or smaller ice and briefly placing the spheres in water before placing them in a beverage makes them clear and beautiful. The machine does make a small amount of noise when dropping the frozen spheres into the holding container, but it isn’t loud or intrusive, just the sound of something hard dropping on plastic. We use bottled water to help prevent mineral and chemical buildup in the machine. It is self cleaning and looks SO nice in our kitchen. If you leave the spheres in the holding bin they do melt but the water drains back into the machine to make more cubes so it’s efficient that way too! Highly recommend if you want a great Artisan Ice Maker at a great price!

It Makes Balls

I got this as a gift for my dad and he loves it. It is a little noisy, but not intolerably so. It might startle you when it "drops it's balls" as he says, because it makes a pretty abrupt drop sound but it works great, makes spherical ice as expected, and is pretty easy to operate.

Ice Balls are small and melt quickly. Disappoints

The balls are very small and melt quickly before the ice chamber can fill. Have to immediately remove and put in a freezer and even then the balls are small and melt quickly.

Have been using this ice machine since 5/16/25. Yesterday, 12/10/25, it just quit working. It's just making noise. My husband made sure it had water, cleaned it and checked to make sure that no hoses were clogged, then unplugged it and plugged it back in, but still nothing. Will be checking into warranty.
