[@Sysoverlord]

The amount of work that goes into his videos is insane and it’s greatly appreciated!

[@qualitycomparisons]

Thank you!!!

[@Justaddsaltt]

He also dose vacuum wars

[@HeartLess-uz5vs]

Great video but it you said so much so quickly I had to keep watching it again & again to absorb the info ./. I just want a maker that’s safe and makes crushed ice as that’s what I chew every night … Thank you for all your work I gotta watch one more time to just find that pellet maker … that gets over heated ? 😳11-16-23

[@MarioMartinez-is1cg]

I was thinking the same thing!! Wow 👏

[@RGP1025]

2 years later and this is still the most useful and helpful review on KZbin. Extremely thorough!

[@switch9]

Time for a new one though! The winner isn't for sale anymore!

[@jacknolan5156]

Wow! let me just say this is exactly the format of videos I look for when researching a product. No AI text to speech bullshit. Super concise, not too long despite packing a ton of great, useful information. Awesome job sir, thank you!

[@tonygarcia1283]

I’ve spent years watching common videos before a purchase and this I must say is by far the best one. You saved me a day of comparing between such products and also how you separated the budget and expensive ice makers, BRAVO

[@qualitycomparisons]

Great to hear!

[@MartinRodriguez-mq3cs]

Never thought I’d be here, looking at a review for ice machines. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@piratebunny173]

Love that you have started doing other products outside of vacuums. You attention to detail is much appreciated.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Thanks so much!

[@M32_722]

Dude thank you so much for the work!

[@qualitycomparisons]

You're very welcome!

[@taajesusisking6349]

Most thorough and practical review I have ever seen. A review that is actually helpful is rare. Thank you

[@qualitycomparisons]

We appreciate that - thank you!

[@vjohnson6464]

Wow. Thanks for the awesomely perfect video. No unnecessary yakking. Straight to the point. Thankful to find you before spending any more time deciding. Thank you times a million!!!!!!

[@qualitycomparisons]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@frog42]

This was litterally what I was looking for! Well researched! Thank you so much for actually providing insight you can't find on the page and doing a massive comparison. I also really appreciate noting which ones had self-cleaning and which ones do not. As well as explaining overall the differences in how they work. I think I will actually be getting the Kingsley/Aglucky model

[@kempmonaghan6336]

Perfect in-depth review. I woke up this morning after enjoying the hell out of my aunts ice machine at thanks giving. I decide to hunt for a review and found that no reviews was very accurate. Your review is great keep it up.

[@Mary-gu3kx]

Hi, what brand of ice maker did your aunt have?

[@scarymarytv]

Um..ok ..sooooo best detailed yourube video! Loved it! Thank you for putting in so much hard woek. You have a new subscriber😊

[@qualitycomparisons]

Thank you so much!!

[@NWGR]

Thank you so much for this! Every time I go to shoip for an ice maker I get overwhelmed and end up not picking one lol I love your vacuum wars channel too! I had no idea you branched out. Subscribed to both, thanks!

[@qualitycomparisons]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@swillsducka]

Thanks for doing all that research for us. I had 2 of the ones listed and you were extremely accurate. The Ehomy also leaves metal shards in your ice.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Ugh - I am sorry to hear that.

[@Mandy_39]

@swillsducka Have you found 1 that you like?!

[@josephkwiatkowski7283]

Wow I have an identical machine to the Ehomy but the brand I have is Silonn and do not have shards of metal in my ice! Sorry to hear that

[@alexm7777]

Metal shards in your ice? Sounds like you have a defective unit.

[@RobbeYT]

You’re a real review pro. So well structured video. 🙌🏼

[@qualitycomparisons]

I appreciate that!

[@mendedgrace]

Your work is helping ice lovers all over the land! Thank u!

[@canuckwineguy]

I wish other reviews did half as much work as this chap, excellent! Nice if there was a follow-up long term. Merry Christmas!

[@SDizzzle]

Fantastic reviews! You just earned a subscriber. I’m not sure why you don’t have more subscribers due to the excellent quality of work.

Wow, thanks!

[@Changeiscoming47]

I agree!!! Thank you!

[@5tamika]

I appreciate the work he put into this, I’m definitely deciding on an ice maker based on this video

[@qualitycomparisons]

Glad I could help!

[@flashcraft]

Thank you, Quality Comparisons. This helped me narrow down which ice maker I'm getting. Very helpful!

[@qualitycomparisons]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Bill_Maine]

Finally, a reviewer who does useful reviews for the consumer. Refreshing. Thank you.

[@jlh5995]

Hey Quality Comparisons - thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this excellent, easy to follow, video review of the counter-top ice makers. The detailed, mostly scientific, factors you discussed produced a well reasoned and meaningful review which should allow any viewer considering the purchase of a counter-top ice maker the means by which to make an informed decision.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Much appreciated!

[@bmsingleton]

We just picked this exact model up at a flea market with no instructions. Your video definitely came in handy in terms of how to operate this machine. Thanks.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Glad it helped!

[@DerrickTay88]

Giving a like simply because of the effort and details taken to make the video. Really hard to find comparison video like these regardless of the item nowadays. Good job. From Singapore

[@qualitycomparisons]

Much appreciated! Thank you!

[@chrisumali9841]

Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day. ICE to see you LOL

[@qualitycomparisons]

😄

[@TamagoHead]

I loved the narration & the explanation. Great video work too!

[@ta4162]

In my mind, I'm as thorough as you. But in real life, I'm not willing to do everything you did. You not only gave me confidence to buy an ice maker. You make me want to be a more productive person. You are actually a better person than me. I liked and subscribed. You win.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Go easy on yourself!

[@DGerharts]

Wow I can’t believe how thorough this was. Thanks!

[@qualitycomparisons]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@iainmacneill2985]

Appreciate the amount of effort you put into this video. Unfortunately it appears that the Dreamiracle is no longer available anywhere for some bizarre reason. Might want to update your description.

[@WhoopDeeDamnDoo]

You saved me a lot of work. Thanks for this!

[@qualitycomparisons]

that is great to hear!

[@bessburkhardt6631]

Thank you soooo much! Great information. I had wanted pellet/sonic ice, but got the bullet type for Christmas. I love it b/c it is chewable😁 now from your vid, I know for sure I never want square & I'm glad I didn't fool with the sonic ice type.

[@qualitycomparisons]

So glad to have helped!

[@Rob.Tufino]

Wow, dude, I really appreciate your work and sharing the information you found. You answered questions I didn't even know I had. Thank you!

[@donnabeckley3669]

This was super helpful. I've been trying to research these for a while now and always give up because there's too many variables and the reviews are all over the place. I've just been picking up an extra bag of ice at the store every week for our water bottles but storing 10lbs of ice in the freezer is getting cumbersome. Thanks!

[@qualitycomparisons]

You're so welcome!

[@KiraSlith]

I have a manufacturer rebrand of the "Igloo" ice maker (which itself uses the same parts as the Kingswire and iKich) , but it has a severe long-term weakness worth taking note of. If it runs out of water, it will turn off the fans and leave the internal peltier cooling system running. This can cook the exhaust fan and cause the refrigerant in the cooling pipes to expand. Mine only lasted 3 months before the expansion caused a refrigerant leak this morning and killed the machine. It no longer produces more than 1 tiny ice cube at a time.

[@stevemurzin2274]

Killer review - I think that although we love the "Sonic Ice", we're going with the Dream Miracle

[@meeshaf2859]

This is the BEST portable ice maker review I have watched. Most people just repeat the features which I can get from reading a product description or they talk about what they like about the item they already purchased without having anything to compare it to. Your attention to detail is great.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Thank you!

[@Changeiscoming47]

This has been so helpful! Getting ready to buy a 3rd, and trying to find the best. This is a lot of work, and I appreciate you doing this!

[@willa.9261]

Wow. Great research. Really good work with EVERYTHING that you considered. I'll be coming back here again. Thanks!

[@qualitycomparisons]

[@sarahfisher1736]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting an ice maker and there are so many and I had no idea what I should get. This really helped!

[@JonaMarklund]

I thought that thumbnail looked like a Vacuum Wars thumbnail and here we are, quality content as always!

[@qualitycomparisons]

You found me!

[@saraputman8248]

Browsing KZbin for pellet ice makers, I found your channel and really enjoyed your comprehensive review of these portable ice makers. In future video reviews, it would be good to mention if ice makers have water filters. Although I love Sonic-type ice, the flavor of the ice (kind of a reverse-osmosis taste) makes for a great tasting drink but one can also enjoy the infused flavored drink in the ice which provides a very satisfactory way of finishing all of your drink of choice.

[@drwells]

Watched this video 2 years and bought the Crownful which was the new version of the Dreamiracle in this video. Both are discontinued now. A friend wanted to get an ice maker like ours and I found the same model under the brand name Costway. It's an awesome ice maker, we even take it camping with us in the fall every year.

[@Assassin1959]

Great video and thank you for taking the time to do them. I purchased the $99 Insignia portable ice maker a few days ago, and the ice is not that bad. I am thinking of taking it back only because of its noise. Keeping this machine plugged in on your kitchen counter is way too loud.

[@JurassicJenice]

Incredible!! The exact video I needed!! Thank you so much for your time and research :) super helpful

[@qualitycomparisons]

You're so welcome!

[@stephtraveler7378]

Great comparison! Most of these will go into RV's, boats, or off grid campers. Power consumption would be a nice category to include.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Great point!

[@sammorrow8420]

your video was awesome. it wasnt a few commercials cut together. you actually used scientific methods to explain the differences between each one. your channel will grow exponentially if you continue to follow the same format. IMHO

[@qualitycomparisons]

Thanks so much. fingers crossed!

[@Owendinga]

I've had a couple of different ice makers including the Opal (which stopped making ice after about a year). I am replacing it with the Euhomy. From what i can tell, it has the best cleaning process

[@qualitycomparisons]

I hope you are happy with it!

[@maynben]

I ordered the Euhomy, the stainless steel model. Do you like it?

[@barrytipton1249]

Great review and very helpful. We are having issues with our ice maker in our new Whirlpool (Maytag) refrigerator and I’m tired of calling the service people out just to say there’s nothing they can do. Just because you pay $2800 for a top line refrigerator doesn’t mean every feature is a quality product. Enough whining on my part and we are excited to try a counter top ice maker. Thanks again!

[@fauxque5057]

Be careful with that Whirlpool ice maker. My original stick open the water valve and flooded the kitchen. The insurance company covered the expense of replacing the laminate flooring that warped. Whirlpool sent a guy out and he replaced the ice maker. About 4 months later the same thing happened. That time the insurance company refused to pay for the flooring. I gave up on the ice maker and bought a counter top unit. I have a bin in the freezer that I dump the ice in after it's made

[@laurabarrios9823]

Hi! Almost bought the AGLUCKY based on your review, but it’s actually not self-cleaning as your chart states (based on the questions/comments on Amazon, I think a lot of people make the mistake thinking it is). Anyway, that’s a pretty important issue for me, so might go with the Dream one instead. Thanks

[@qualitycomparisons]

Thank you!

I just bought it and am now returning it for that reason. Going to go with the dream machine model

[@presouz5]

Thank you so much for going through everything you did for this video. Amazing. Sonic ice. I’m guessing it’s what I call. Fuzzy eyes. Yeah I wouldn’t bother getting a icemaker for my countertop unless it was fuzzy ice. So I am experimenting with my new fuzzy ice machine right now pure distilled water not a good idea no minerals so it’s kinda dense and not as fuzzy. So now I’m trying half filtered and half distilled. I don’t wanna have to do all filtered, but I will get the perfect consistency. Thank you again for all your help your help.

Excellent Review... thank you for your time and research. I greatly appreciate it.

[@MrBenMcLean]

Based on this video, I decided that the E-EUHOMY-Maker-IM-F-Series was the ice maker for me. Pure square ice instead of bullets? Yes. Don't mind breaking up the ice before using? Sounds fine! Don't mind paying a little more for the pure square ice? Yes that's me. I love the fact that this video went into detail to explain the tradeoffs I am making so that I am empowered to make the decision that's right for me.

[@qualitycomparisons]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!

[@Mandy_39]

@Ben, did you end up buying it & if so how has it been?

[@lesliem825]

UPDATE: I GOT THE EUHOMY AND ABSOLUTELY I LOVE IT!!! I WANTED CLEAR HARD ICE..I PUT THE ICE IN A ZIPLOC BAG AND GIVE IT A WACK ON THE COUNTER..BREAKS THE ICE IN ONE SHOT..PLUS BEING CLEAR IT LASTS A LONG TIME IN DRINKS AND MELTS A LOT SLOWER!!! great video ...I just purchased the Euhomy...(hasn't come yet) I want a clear solid ice that won't melt fast... the cloudy bullet ice will melt faster since it isn't as solid

[@ignight4461]

Appreciate this review! As soon as i saw it was the vaccum wars guy, I knew I'd have a great informative review. One question, are any of these machines significantly louder than the others? I'd like to know if the dropped ice sound is really loud or not

[@qualitycomparisons]

Hey thanks! So I didn't think about noise really, it's just the whirring of the machine and the dropping ice. It's about as loud as you'd imagine it to be but not more than that.
