Pros
- Fast – From empty to first ice cubes take s just fifteen minutes, with the ability to produce 25lbs per 24 hours.
- Cube Size – Select from two sizes depending on needs.
- Capacity – Depending on pace of use, this unit will support 2-4 people with unending ice.
- Price – With its cost being right in the middle of available options, the Sharper Image Portable Ice Maker provides great value with a stylish appearance.
Cons
- Noise – Most portable ice makers are noisy, and this one is no exception. Keep it in a closet or behind a bar with some background music or other distraction and it won’t be a problem.
- Capacity…again – While this unit will keep up with a few people, it would struggle to keep ice for a larger gathering or party.
Overall Rating
Amazon has this unit rated 3.5 stars. I think that’s too low. Great value combines with great performance to provide what I think is an excellent product. 4.5 stars for me.
