思ったより早く氷が出来て武術稽古時に氷を口に入れて熱中症対策にしています大きさも程よくこの暑さには良いと皆んなで喜んでいます

毎日使ってます。凍った氷を冷凍庫に入れてます。製氷器（うつわ）を使用していましたが、氷を作る手間が軽減出来ました。お客さんが集まる時も便利です。音が気になる人もいるかもしれません。私は満足してます。😊

This was so easy to use all you have to put on is the handle it made ice so fast

レビューをしっかりとみておけばよかったです。ドンキで4.5千円で売ってそうなクオリティ氷はすぐ溶けるし音はうるさいし

夏場の飲み物をより快適に楽しみたくて、こちらの卓上製氷機を購入しました。結果として、「必要なときにすぐ氷が作れる」という点では非常に満足しています。今までは炎天下の中、氷を買いに行き、帰宅するまでに溶けてしまう……といったこともありましたが、その手間やストレスが一切なくなりました。冷凍庫の容量を気にせず、いつでも冷たい飲み物を楽しめるのは大きな魅力です。ただし、いくつか気になる点もあります。まず、製氷中の音が思った以上に大きいです。製氷中は、空気清浄機をターボモードで運転しているような「ブーン」という音が継続して鳴り続けます。日中の生活音に紛れる程度ですが、静かな夜間や在宅ワーク中は少し気になるかもしれません。そして何より気になったのが、衛生面です。氷用スコップやバスケット部分は取り外して洗えますが、それ以外の内部パーツは取り外しができない構造のため、使用しているうちにどうしても発生する汚れへの対応が難しいと感じました。長期的に清潔さを保つには、こまめなメンテナンスや工夫が必要になりそうです。総合的には、利便性と手軽さを求める方にはおすすめできますが、音や衛生面に敏感な方は使用環境を考慮したうえでの導入を検討されたほうがよいかもしれません。

素晴らしく使い勝手が良い

部屋でハイボールで最高です、始動して1、2回は氷も薄いですが3回目以降はしっかりした氷ができてくるのでいい感じです

Edit: this broke within 10 months.Previously, I bought ice makers branded as "405," the first of which lasted three years before getting too filthy to use, and the second one lasted only a year an a half before breaking down.From what I can see, almost all ice makers in this class (the 10-30,000 yen range) have the exact same innards, probably made by one company, and then they have different and varying cases added by a variety of companies.I have only had it running for a few days, but here are my initial impressions.This ice maker (COWSAR) has a few big advantages:• A huge advantage is cleaning. The Cowsar, like many other new ice machines, has screws on the top where the clear flip-up cover meets the button-panel back top cover. Unscrewing these allows you to remove the top and clean the ice-making assembly. Without that ability, it's impossible to clean, and that whole area becomes a mass of mold and mildew. I count this as a critical feature.• Another advantage is noise. This one is far quieter than the 405 model I had before, notably so.The disadvantages:• The water and ice tank is too small. It's probably the 1.2-liter size. The 405 model has a 2-liter tank, which means more water to allow for more ice between refills, and more ice stored at one time. The smaller tank is usable, but it really makes the machine much more maintenance-heavy. In fact, I noticed that you get the "tank empty" light even when the tank is almost half full, because that much water is necessary to fill the ice-making trough.• You can only empty the water tank with a plug at the bottom. That might be OK if the ice maker is in the kitchen, but I use it in my home office—which means I'll have to bring up a water container and hold the machine over it. Looks like it'll be a hassle. Is it too much to ask for a draining tube?I am hoping that the little plastic grate over the intake tube at the bottom of the tank is removable. It really serves no purpose (nothing gets in the tank that is so big to be stopped by a grate), and it makes it much harder to clean that area, which often gets dirty.I have to read the manual a bit more to figure out more about the controls—it seems like there is no way to choose the size of the ice, though I don't see that as a great disadvantage.
