First off i would say this product is a Great Value and I 100% recommend it. The company is awesome to work with. The price went down a couple days after i bought ours...They gladly refunded us the difference when i sent them a message.I fish all summer and constantly need ice. After Costco hiked the ice prices by 250% i started shopping used commercial machines on craigslist. I decided to give this a shot before i spent $2k on a beat up old restaurant machine....I'm glad i did. This machine is compact, light weight, easy to set up. Could easily be brought on a camping trip or to a hotel (If they dont have ice). I bought the $40 in-line filter and spend another $20 to Tee into the connection of my wash sink. So far So good.Here are a couple considerations i would have found helpful going in;1. It makes ice faster than i anticipated. Awesome!2. It does need some significant drainage. I roto-hammered a 3/4" hole through my garage slab because i know i have 25 yards of drain rock under it. Whiskey Tango move but it works.3. ***I think the only "Con" to this Item*** I weighed the 3 -"Ten pound" bags of ice i get out of the bin (when it shuts off) and they are between 7-8# each.**********When you wake up you will have ~25# of ice to use***********I've even broken the ice up in the bin as it comes out and it only gets another 1-2# yield.With the machine unplugged i bet you can fit 33# in it but it doesn't make and store 33#.We fill bags with ice whenever we can. We store them in a freezer. I have no doubt the machine will make 100#+ in a 24 hour cycle. But If you need the bin capacity I would consider buying the next one up.

I’ve had my Euhomy ice machine for 6 months now and I love it. This machine replaced a previous ice machine in my home bar where I already had the water supply and drain in place. The Euhomy’s included water supply line seemed cheap and flimsy so I bought an adapter at Lowe’s and upgraded to a stainless braided hose. You WILL need a drain! This machine generates ice fairly quickly but its storage bin is not a freezer and therefore melts over time (speed depends on your environment). Without a drain your bin will turn into a swimming pool as the ice melts. The drain is gravity fed so your drain system must be BELOW the Euhomy’s drain line (located just a few inches above the bottom of the machine) or you can purchase and install a small drain pump to push the water upward to a sink drain pipe. I built a short riser for my machine to sit on, raising it and subsequently its drain outlet 4 inches higher allowing it to align with my existing wall drain system.If I run the machine continuously, it will cut itself off when filled with ice (fresh batch every 10-15 min.) Then it will turn itself back on as needed to replace any melting ice and keep itself full. If I know I won’t need ice for a few days and manually turn it off, all the ice will have melted within about 12 hours (machine is located inside my home with the A/C set around 75).Some reviewers have complained about ice being melty or wet, and melting very quickly. There is a simple menu screen adjustment on the front for how “hard” you want the ice cubes to be (read the instructions because the hardness setting numbering system didn’t seem obvious to me). Even on the hardest setting, the ice does seem to melt in my drink faster than ice from my freezer. But for me it’s not a problem. Again, this is not a freezer so there is no way to keep the ice super cold after it drops into the bin.Some reviews complain that when the cubes drop they don’t break apart but rather stay together in sheets. What I’ve found is that when I set it to freeze “hard”, the fist batches that drop all the way to the bin’s floor will break apart. But as the ice piles up and fills the bin, the newest batches only fall a few inches inches landing on top of the pile and don’t usually break apart. But I keep a stainless kitchen meat mallet in the bar and a few light taps on the pile of ice and they easily break apart.I read at least one review that claimed the machine he received wasn’t stainless and was in fact ugly white plastic. All I can say is mine came with a protective white plastic wrap that I had to peel off to reveal the stainless. My wife placed a magnetic hook on the front for the ice shovel. Now while I’m no scientist, it is my understanding that magnets won’t stick to stainless soooo… I’m not sure if it’s actually stainless steel but it IS metal and it LOOKS like stainless.It does make a little noise as some complain, but I hardly notice anymore and my bar is in the middle of the house just feet from my living room. Once it’s full, it only kicks on a few times through out day for about 10 min.Overall, it works perfectly for me. I paid $399 with free shipping and got it within a few days. It was packed very well and runs perfectly. (I did get an error code once but a quick power off and back on… no more trouble). Be ready to clean it every so often as you should any appliance. I would absolutely recommend this ice machine for any home as long as you understand that the ice bin is not a freezer (mediocre cooler at best).
