    Got this last year and take it camping, works a treat and saves me $$$ on ice. Good deal op.

    • +1

      Ours has been going for 2 years now. We put it away over winter. But we run it all summer and we take it camping too.

    • So this is better than getting those portable fridges for camping?

      • +1

        I run an Engel too (for food), ice is for esky drinks and in glasses.

  • +7

    Have this too but reckon it slightly taints the ice. I get a plastic/fire retardant smell from time to time.
    Does make ice reliably however

    • +1

      Have you ever cleaned it?

      I run water with a bit of bleach through mine every month, and scrub at it with a toothbrush.

      (note: mine might need cleaning more often than most due to kids sticking their dirty mitts in it)

      • +1

        Sure, but what I am describing is plastic/fire retardant smell from the mechanics when they heat up, not mould or bacteria.
        I can smell it and it slightly taints the ice. More so some days than others. This is unknown Chinese plastic, not 'foodsafe' BPA free etc,

        • This is unknown Chinese plastic, not 'foodsafe' BPA free etc,

          If it's unknown how do you know it's is not food safe and has BPA in it?

      • Bleach? ok Donald lol.

        Vinegar. Use white vinegar about 50/50 with water and run that through it for half a day before attacking with a toothbrush. Then rinse with straight water running through for half a day. Mines been going strong for 2 years and have done the vinegar treatment 4 times.

        EDIT: ahh I see you have a mould problem. I don't have that problem with mine. Could be climate related? I'm in Vic and I can turn mine off with the lid shut whenever I want and never seen mould. All I see is a kind of slight yellowish staining after a season of use, which the vinegar removes.

  • +1

    Bought one last year and have been enjoying it every day.

    Can get a little noisy doing its cycle, but not a big deal.

    Makes ice so quickly you can easily turn it off at nights and on in the morning again.

    • +6

      I'm not sure if I'm being dense, but what's the advantage to making ice with this when you can have ice trays in the regular full size freezer? Is it more convenient?

      • +20

        More room in the freezer for half price icecreams?

      • You get ice quicker and it replenishes itself. All you have to do is keep the water topped up. Great for hot weather and cool drinks when you want ice all the time. So yes, super convenient.

      • +2

        Convenient and quicker too. These ice makers produce about 35 ice cubes an hour, so running it for a few hours and emptying the ice into the freezer (properly freezes the ice and makes it last longer) is incredibly quick and will give you a week's worth of ice.

      • +5

        If you can think of a better way to get ice I'd like to hear it

        https://youtu.be/SAsgN_LPWBc

      • +4

        You're not dense at all, and ice is less dense than water.

        Seems like an extra appliance that has just one single purpose that can easily be achieved with a little forward planning. It's not hard to flip the ice tray in the freezer over every day and keep the tub full of ice cubes. If you need ice for camping, freeze large water containers.

        • +1

          Except if you have kids that regularly use all the ice, you have people over regularly and you want convenience. Seems like this product isn't for you.

      • +5

        More ice in less time. Frees up freezer space. Stops arguments about who used up the last of the ice and didn't refill the trays.

        I've got the older model of this and have it running from 8am-11pm daily. Get's so much use it normally gets refilled 2-3 times a day (both myself and my kids crave ice water, and would rather go thirsty than drink barely cold water). Best kitchen appliance purchase I'd made in years.

        • +5

          Why don't you keep your water in the fridge so it's always cold and doesn't need ice?

  • +1

    Just got one from the missus for Xmas…works pretty well, on-demand ice (precisely what I wanted). Be warned tho it's a fairly large unit and takes up a bit of benchtop space.

  • +8

    All positive comments above withstanding, remember folks - ice can be ice at -1°C but it's not gonna be as useful as ice from a good standard freezer that will get it down to much lower than that. Just because you're getting ice doesn't mean it's "good quality" ice.

    • +1

      Fair comment, something I never really thought about and the ice from these things definitely does seem to dissolve a bit quicker than standard freezer ice. Still a decent solution in some circumstances.

      • +19

        Ice at -18 C would take (for 1 g) 75.6 J to bring to 0 C then another 334 J to turn into liquid.

        Ice at 0 C would just take 334 J to turn into liquid.

        In other words 0 C ice is about 80% as good as -18 C ice.

        While the majority of the benefit of ice is in the latent heat component, there is still a measurable and observable difference between using -18 C ice in your drink and 0 C ice.

        Informative comment, delivered in an unnecessary hostile, and forgive me, wanky tone.

          • +2

            @glade90: Ok boomer

          • +2

            @glade90: So after your whole little rant, it still seems like my comment based off my experience, isn't even wrong… -20 deg IS better than -0 degree ice. Either way, you could have shared your knowledge in a less douchy way.

            Not everyone is going to be an expert at everything, hopefully next time you hire a plumber, concreters or an electrician they talk to you like you are an absolute f'n dunce for not being able to do the job to a high standard yourself and having to hire them. Lol

            • -1

              @Binchicken22: It's actually sad that you think the problem is not that someone was confidently wrong, not that people think upvotes equal truth, not that people who are not "experts" should just stay quiet… No, that was not your problem. Your problem was someone being corrected, and the corrector was not investing more time and effort into trying to correct the confidently wrong in a way that does not violate their "I'm entitled to my opinion" rights.

              it still seems like my comment based off my experience, isn't even wrong

              Your experience is correct, but your conclusion is wrong, unfortunately. It's the classical both are true, but unrelated kind of logical fallacy.
              Your experience of these auto-made "cubes" melting faster is explained by their lighter weight, compared to the normal cubes from your fridge: they look like proper cubes, but hollow inside. I'd guesstimate they weigh about half of an actual cube, so they would melt… in about half the time. But yeah, "Lol", you made really good points, well said, I guess?

              The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

              • @glade90: Mate, I'm fully aware the volume of these cubes and probably the overall surface area (larger surface area compared to a "standard cube" due to the fact they are hollow) to volume ratio has a large influence over how quickly they melt, you seem to think you are some kind of physics prodigy here, it's not difficult. I just didn't explain every single reasoning behind my statement.

                None of this changes the fact that your original post was wrong though lol. A -20 degree ice cube, of the same volume, is "better" than a -0 degree ice cube.

        • +1

          Totally agree - seems to be getting more and more prevalent too I reckon. You'd think people would be a little bit nicer, could you imagine people talking like that in real life to strangers lol

        i ain't reading all that
        i'm happy for u tho
        or sorry that happened

      • Ice (profanity)

    • +6

      There's ways around this though (we have this exact ice maker). The mrs and I love our ice (the cold kind) and both of us have insulated YETI bottles that are constantly full of ice cold water.

      Each Sunday we put water in the ice maker and run it all day, and then every time the basket fills up we empty it into a container that lives in the freezer (one basket is usually enough for 1-2 days worth of ice for both of us). It chills down to -20 overnight in the freezer and the cubes stick together so we just have to poke it a few times and the ice breaks up, and the result is a week worth of long lasting, perfect ice that is still usually intact at the end of the day. Once Sunday rolls around we just repeat.

      We've also used this trick for filling up an esky. If we know we're going out for a day trip we'll fire up the ice maker 1-2 days in advance and dump it all in the freezer, and by the time we're ready to go it's cold enough that it'll last all day. Haven't had to buy servo ice in years.

      • perfect. will pay itself off quickly for the eski ice alone!

      • +2

        How much power would this thing use to make a servo bag worth of ice tho?

        • +1

          about tree fiddy

          Good point though, and the amount of your time it would take emptying and refilling it.
          Seems not worth it for me, I just keep a couple of these in the freezer: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006074059781.html

          They make quite a lot of ice per tray, they have lids and are flat so take up little space.

  • Thanks OP i need it cause my room is 32 degree all the time

  • Got on black Friday for $97 off ebay. Not bad

  • +5

    We have one and as we have a family of 9, I have half a freezer drawer for ice. We simply empty the ice into pull out draw and keep it topped up.
    Important notes…
    * The ice comes out of this dripping wet and it will all stick together on the freezer. We tap it wit the end of a wooden rolling pin and it separates most of them.
    To beat that a little bit, lift the ice catching section and give it a few taps while inside the machine to shed excess water.
    * I drop half a dozen ice bullets into the cold water at the start and they seem to form thicker from the start. Otherwise, your initial batch or two come out thin.
    Just note that the instructions do recommend water temps when adding it and the couple we have had don't recommend chilled water.
    * It can be fiddly to clean and I have noticed that leaving the lid up over night has dramatically reduced the mold/gunk, whatever it is that can build up if you forget to clean it out on a regular basis.

    Absolutely recommend one if you use ice often.

    • +2

      We do all of these things as well with ours. So handy to have an unlimited supply of ice especially for filling up water bottles in summer, totally worth the lost freezer space. Also good if we have to whip out the esky at a moment's notice.

    • +1

      nice tip on the mold/gunk. will do this.

      Any tips for cleaning?

      • +1

        I fill mine with water and a bit of bleach and leave it to run for an hour or so. During that time I'll give it a going over in the places I can reach with paper towel, and use a toothbrush to scrub at all the areas where gunk can build up (anywhere that isn't perfectly smooth, has ridges, etc).

        I then move it over to the kitchen sink with just enough of the machine hanging over the top of the sink for into it once I remove the plug. Then fill it up with clean tap water while it runs several times over (it helps to have a couple of big jugs, or even a pot, full of water to do this, as it drains out pretty quickly).

        I then finish off by plugging it back up, running it for a while, dumping the ice into the sink, and topping up with fresh water. I stop once the ice no longer has a bleach taste to it.

        It's not too difficult, and in my experience necessary (but kids grubby hands could be a big factor for me). We also turn it off overnight, so based on what @rattle says maybe that's causing it to get moldy more frequently. Will try out lifting the lid at night and see how that helps.

        • Nice @kapone! I wash and clean ours in a very similar way.
          I might try the bleach method. I use vinegar.
          Will have a go and see if it's better.

          • @rattle: Vinegar is typically the better choice for mould, but in this case I wanted to avoid using it.

            I've got kids with very strong sensory sensitivities and I'm sure they'd smell even the most minute trace of it on their ice.

  • How does this compare to the $149 Aldi machine?

  • Use mine for parties, really great.

    • Does it need to cool down between each use or on/off for casual use?

      • no cool down. I've run it 24 hours no problems. Though given it does have a compressor, i wouldnt be switching it on off in high frequency or tiping it over.

  • +3

    Have one too and it's good. But in the Sydney humidity be warned if it's off for a while, black mould spots tend to form easily and it's super tricky to wipe some of the parts clean around and behind the actual cooling prongs. As someone else said, leaving the lid up tends to help but I find often forgotten

    • +4

      You would never get ice from a restaurant if you’d seen the things I’d seen in commercial ice makers

  • Cost/water/hf - $5 for 5kg on the 3 times I need ice a year

  • Bought one…. buy first, question its use after lol.

  • The Kogan one comes with self-cleaning and quick freeze function but almost 1/2 the tank, ice bin and power consumption for slightly cheaper. Not sure of the quality tho.

  • Just pulled some more ice out of mine. These are great. For $99 will not regret.

  • -1

    Have one, it's pretty crap.. The ice starts melting before the next batch is made so either you gotta sit there and constantly empty the 9 ice cubes after each run or you'll get a bunch of big and small ice cubes by the end which all have stuck together. You also gotta keep an eye out as you will need to refill it constantly. I prefer the traditional method of $2 ice trays from kmart or a bag of ice from the servo.

  • +1

    We've got the Kogan 12kg Ice Cube Maker (Black) which was more expensive than this when it was still being sold but works wonders. Ice in the compartment stays ice until unit is turned off then just melts back into the reservoir but we rarely turn it off.

    Edit: They have another model still being sold - https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-12kg-ice-cube-maker-self-…

    Make sure you clean your these tabletop units regularly, they will grow mould and get you sick.

  • Do people store ice in bags when they need a large amount? If so, what kind of bags are strong enough?

    Got one a year ago, love it. Great deal.

    me all through this morning: damn, what if i do though?

    cheers op

    • +1

      haha broooo me too.

  • +1

    Just to confirm - these will make ice but they don't store it do they?

  • I just saw Devanti mini washing machine for similar price and now seeing this deal.

    May be good for baby clothing and camping.

  • +1

    Run it once a month for the whole day and fill up the freezer

    • -1

      Or get a bag from your servo for $4.50 and freeze whatever you need? Lot less hassle

      • Not really, very convenient to be making it fresh and don't have chemicals in my ice cubes

  • it's 120 something on Bunnings Marketplace
