  Portable but needs 220v outlet… at least more portable than the fridge

    I think they mean 'portable' in the sense that's it's easy to relocate compared to the commercial version

  How much power do these chew through?

  Seriously considering picking one up, even if it's to just run it for a few hours a day.

    The specs say 90w which seems on the low side.

    Why? Unless you want to use this in real time during a party (and will it even be able to keep up?) I find it hard to see the point of it. You can make ice-cubes in advance, especially if you have a spare freezer to store them in - just use the fridge's ice maker or rotate trays once per day. (You can also fill empty bottles / cartons to make ice-packs to keep things cold).

    I like my ice-cubes big (~5cm sides, 1 per glass) - if I'm having people over on the weekend I'll just rotate a few trays for a few days before, then come Saturday there's a whole bunch of cool (aesthetically, not thermally) ice ready to go.

      I asked about power usage, and you gave me your opinion about ice makers. Thanks. Hope that made you feel like the smartest person in the room.

      I have good reasons for wanting one of these, but don't need to explain myself to you.

  It does not produce cubes but rather bullet shaped ice.

    Those tiny things (especially as they are hollow) look like they would melt away in no time! - end hence more likely to water down your drink rather than cooling it. This comment was brought to you by tropical North Queensland….

  Are there any machines that are sold in Australia that make ice nuggets?

  Would get one if running on 12V, a typical solar panel would supply the amp for 90W …

    Brass Monkey makes 12V but up to 4A and costs triple the money. Though sometimes they have $100 off…

  I've got one of these (well similar).
  1. The ice storage is not chilled. The ice just sits in there melting.
  2. The ice 'bullets' are not much below freezing, so they only do a meh kind of job of chilling drinks. They melt quick.
  3. They only run for about an hour and a half until they stop because they're full. About a kilo of ice.
  4. You could dump the ice basket into a freezer when it gets full, but the bullets are so wet they freeze together in a big lump.
  5. You can't really leave them on 24/7. You can, but you're just paying to melt and re-freeze ice over and over, dumping heat into your house.

  However, they are good for parties. People using ice as they go and it will keep a good supply coming.

  Power use is a up to a couple of hundred watts. It's just a tiny compressor. Once it's full it doesn't use anything.

  The better ones have a rack of square cubes in the back, they make twice as many per cycle and they are solid, cubes and usually clear.

  Nice feedback mate and I gave you a deserved up vote.

  Just wanted to share my point of view from my experience.

  I had a Devanti for about 14 months and eventually replaced it with a bigger Kogan model.
  * We run it during the day while we are collecting solar and turn it off when there is no solar coming in.
  * 6 kids and my wife and I and we all put the largest bullet shapes into our water bottles (double walled) and they stay ice cold all day.
  * Great for kids school water bottles and trips out.
  * We dedicate one side of a pull out drawer in the freezer that has a divider, for the ice bullets and people just go with the scoop provided and load up their drinks.
  * The basket does fill maybe every 70-80 minutes, but someone always walks past and empties it. Not an issue here.
  * I have a 2 liter water jug full in the fridge all the time and we refill the ice machine with the cold water. The ice bullets drop out rock hard and will take a good while to melt down. Someone always empties it anyway.
  * They do freeze together in a big lump in the freezer. We just tap it twice with the end of a rolling pin and they break into more manageable pieces. We also give the basket a shake before unloading it, to shake off the excess water, if it has sat a while.

  For us in a larger home, it's absolutely worth it, especially as we are in a warmer part of Australia.

  For someone single or a small family not using ice much, it's maybe not worth it unless you entertain a lot.

  Take care everyone.

  So I ordered one on Monday and it was delivered today (very impressed given I'm in regional Vic).

  • It makes a bit of noise (whirring fan, pump each time it goes to make a new round of ice, and then the sound of the ice dispensing), but I was expecting this
  • The ice is pretty small, even on the large setting, and aren't very thick. This isn't the sort of ice you want in a glass of whiskey, it'll turn to water pretty quick
  • It's fast! I was expecting the 6min time quoted to be after it was running for a while. But 6 mins from turning it on it will have the first lot of ice done (although it'll take a while before the ice starts coming out at full thickness)
  • Because the ice freezes from the inside-out (it's formed around metal rods that are chilled), rather than outside-in like an ice-tray, it is wet, so will stick to itself when thrown in a freezer

  It's perfect however for quick and easy ice for throwing in drink bottles, which is exactly what I wanted it for.

  The alternative for us was giving up half our fridge freezer space to ice trays, as that's how much we'd go through in a single day.
