which performed
Setting up the ice maker to start ice making is very simple. How is this going:
After 15 minutes:
After 1 hour:
After 2 hours:
After 3 hours:
After 3 hours, the image below shows that about half of the reservoirs are still present, which shows that each full water reservoir can produce twice the amount of ice shown in the photo.
As you can see from the photos, this ice maker can work, but is more suitable for specific situations where delivery speed and ice volume are not overwhelming demands. It is relatively quiet, and the ice it produces is perfect for cooling any beverage of your choice.
Although I insist on making big ice “cubes” because I like that size, the following is a photo showing the small cubes it makes. These little cubes are the first output after about 9 minutes:
what do I like
- Build quality
- This concept
- The ice “cubes” it produces
- Relatively quiet operation
- Ease of use
What will i change
- Need to make ice faster
Final thoughts
I like the manufacturing quality and features of Free Village Store Ice Maker, it will definitely offer casual drinks somewhere behind my home bar. Obviously, its use must be planned, because if some guests accidentally show up, it will not be able to produce enough ice quickly enough. I really like the big ice cubes it makes, and I am not a fan of small ice cubes. By the way, the word “cube” does not represent the shape of the ice produced. The shape of ice is more like a bullet. In addition, although portable, it may be lighter and heavier than some people think.
