The GOOD Ice.

Now, I wouldn't call myself an "ice enthusiast", but I know the difference between plain ice and "The Good Stuff." Not all ice is the same. Clarity, texture, and size all make a difference. This Nugget Ice Maker is an absolute game-changer. From its sleek design to its flawless performance, this ap...

Noisy

Submitted 1 month ago

By Nicole

From Indiana

I bought this machine beginning of this year after my last Newair machine broke. This ice maker is very noisy and constantly running. My last machine was much quieter but they no longer made that model. It seems to continue to get louder the longer I own it. I work from home and office is near the kitchen and I have to unplug it a lot of the time due meetings. I expect it to make noise but I can hear it all the way at the back of my house from the kitchen.

Within a year it started being too loud

We loved this ice maker but within a year, we can't keep it in our kitchen because it is too loud. It was a gift so we don't have a receipt to return it. I filled out a form for assistance but never received an email.

I absolutely love this ice maker! I use it every single day, and it has truly become a highlight of my routine. My favorite part of the day is when I have my diet coke break, and this nugget ice makes such a huge difference. The ice is soft, chewable, and keeps my drink chilled just right. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who loves good quality ice and wants to elevate their drink experience.

We have a conversion van and missed having ice available. This ice maker is small and makes a ton of ice! We can run it off of our solar panel while camping. It is pretty prefect for our needs.

Worth buying!

By LisaLisa

From MI

I have to say, I absolutely love this ice maker for several reasons. The ice it produces is crystal clear, and the machine works really quickly, churning out ice every 10 minutes. I appreciate the simple design and how easy it is to use. Before I knew it, we had a good supply of clean ice, making it perfect for parties and holiday gatherings. Plus, the price is very reasonable. We're really happy with this ice maker—it's great to just walk away and come back to find a fresh batch of ice waiting for your drinks!

Nugget Ice at Last

Comments about Matte Black

This icemaker makes the best ice! I use it at least every other day. There are only the two of us but we both enjoy the nugget size ice and are always wanting something to drink. Here is South Carolina I cannot go anywhere without a glass of something cold in my hand. It is compact enough that it fits nicely on our kitchen counter. The only drawback to this model is the amount of noise it makes when its running. We have an open floor plan and although the icemaker is not real noisy, it is obvious if we are in the family room when the icemaker is running.

Q

In the self-cleaning process for the NIM026MBN0 / NIM026SSN0, the manual says to run the self-cleaning process. By doing so, you are to press and hold the ICE/CLEAN button for 5 seconds until the indicator light flashes white. In my efforts to do so, no light flashed, The ICE/CLEAN light just comes on stays white and the ice maker goes into ice-making mode. Is this correct? What am I to look for in the self-cleaning process? Full Detail, please. Is there a video? I just purchased it and the directions are not clear. Like another question in this Q&A section, someone asked if we were to put water into the reservoir, it wasn't clear to do so.
