Thanks!
Thank you so much and you are very welcome!
Just purchased this on a website for 359 on sale. But worth every penny.❤
Awesome!!
Great review! My wife just bought me this model for Father's Day. I love it so far! Do you use regular tap, filtered, or distilled water? I have heard distilled is good to use to prevent mineral buildup, any advice? I might install a reverse osmosis filter and use that water
Thank you!! I definitely use my filtered (Reverse Osmosis) water, since I live in AZ and don't have a water softener, the tap water here is terrible. I installed this APEC RO system, it wasn't too terribly difficult to install, but then again I had a previous older system already, so it was a littler easier than starting from scratch. My brother just installed this exact one a few days ago, and said it wasn't too hard. You just need to drill a hole on top of the sink where you want the spout to be. amzn.to/441gqfO
I also live in AZ and just bought this. I'm watching this before I set mine up but what I love about this ice maker is the ability to hook it up directly to my R/O line. Also as you mentioned it fits perfectly underneath cabinets with space to give!
Just got one and its on my counter. When i try to turn it to drain on my sink the left bottom corner leakes a little. Is that normal? Or when i fill the water and close the door sometimes the same left bottom corner leaks a little
hmm, not the corner shouldn't leak, I haven't had any leaking issues. The only water that should come out is through the two tubes used to drain it.
I just got mine today (different brand) and got it for $180. I cant wait to make some. I hate big ice that slams down onto your face or blocks your drink from coming out. I dont like crushed ice either because it melts too fast. The bullet ice makers ate cheaper but its still big ice. Nugget ice is perfect! And i can chew it without cracking my teeth. My instructions say to clean it daily with a teaspoon of bleach and water. Does that seem too often to you? Monthly, it says with vinegar
The manufacturer for mine recommends once a week, depending on how often it is used. Enjoy your nugget ice maker! I just used mine again for a party and everyone loved it.
I have an ice maker, but! I love the shape of those little nuggets. It looks very compact and sleek. I may have to change it up!
Yeah the little nugget ice it makes is pretty awesome. Thanks for watching, Virginia!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I love your channel Matt huge Fan
@@cats_forever_1975 Thank you so much! :)
I love mine!!
We have city water with a lot of white scale so I use distilled water.
Pro: I get a lot of ice using a gallon of water. Ice is slow in melting.
Neg: ice does melt but the water circulates and makes more ice by opening and closing the door.
This ice machine is awesome. I've never seen nugget ice. It's a cool concept (pardon the pun).
Yeah it is pretty awesome. I am enjoying it so far for sure! Dropping a video tomorrow (thursday) Frozen Hot Chocolate recipe that uses this ice. And great pun! haha
That seems like a cool machine. But I’ve got one question. Do you have to buy one of those filter things for the machine? I wonder if Walmart sells those icemakers. i’m dying to buy me one.
Thanks! Nope you don't buy a filter for it. You pour in your own filtered water if you want or you can use tap water. Yes Walmart sells them online, they have all kinds of brands they sell including the Gevi Household brand, although this particular model is new, I don't see it on their site yet, but they have the previous model on there. I don't know if they sell any brands/models in the actual stores but they might!
What kind of water can I use?
Purified water or Distilled water?
Either of those will work fine

That was really cool of you to respond back, thank you for that.
I plan on buying this next Monday and I was curious.
I couldn't find any water specifications for this ice maker anywhere.
@@MississippiKaijuMusic You are very welcome, I try to respond to as many people as possible. :) And awesome!
I bought this unit. I had it one day. I couldn’t get the on/off button to function. It seemed to stay on as long it was plugged in. And it wouldn’t make ice! It stayed on the “clean cycle”. I could tell right away that I got a lemon.
Sorry to hear that!
I was too! My extensive research said this was the machine to buy! And I liked its looks. I think the problem is Amazon’s. They put the box that said “this side up!” inside another box that said nothing. Machines with refrigerants, coils, tubing, sensitive electronics don’t like to be flipped around. Which is why we are warned to never transport a fridge on its side or back. With luck, it may not damage the unit, but why roll the dice.
@@Jancass5 Good thing Amazon makes it easy to return products. At least for me, I return stuff to Kohls which is only a mile from me.
How does the ice hold up with refreezing? Interested in making how much I need putting it in the freezer, then (putting it away) until I want to make more. One person in my h/h so I wouldn't need it out all the time.
It gets harder in the freezer and sticks together, so you just need to break it apart when you take it out of the freezer. I am only one person in my household as well and that is what I do.
My son has a different bran but he loves the ice. I would love one but I don’t have the space. ☹️
That is awesome he has one and loves it! It really does make great ice. But does take up space!
Can I keep this plugged in all the time or do I have to keep transferring the ice to my freezer?
Yes you can, and as the ice melts it will be remade into ice again. Or just add more water to it to keep making ice.
I just ordered that ice maker a couple days ago, except I got the full stainless steel model. I hope I made the right choice. There were absolutely no RUclips videos about it. Previously I had a nugget ice maker from Wamife that lasted 6-7 months and quit. It has a 2 year warranty, but the company refuses to honor it. Fortunately I got a full refund from Amazon. Hopefully Gevi makes a better product and has better customer service.
That is awesome that you ordered one! Let me know how you like it after tying it.
How long does it stay frozen while in the maker? Do you need to turn ice maker off when it is finished making ice?
It stays frozen for quite awhile at least a few hours, no, it goes into a sleep mode.
How did I ever cook without ice nuggets all these years??!!
hahaha :)
Cook?
Hope they fixed the problem with the auger they had on their first model. What a piece of trash that thing is!!! I've had two. Amazon seller replaced the first one when it started tearing itself apart...dropping metal pieces into the ice bin...and making horrible screaching noises. Second unit lasted about 3 months and did the same thing. Amazon seller won't replace and getting ahold of them for a warranty is near impossible.
I haven't encountered that problem yet, although, I haven't had it for 3 months yet. And darn that is odd, seems like Amazon would be good about replacing/refunding.
Thanks so much, Matt! You've made it so easy to jump onto my computer and find exactly what I need to know on anything "kitchen"! From recipes, advice on kitchen items, and how to make basic items easily. Great job, keep going!
WOW thank you so much!! I really appreciate such a generous tip. You are so very welcome, I am so happy you like the videos and my channel.
I can’t for the life of me see where the max fill line is? Can anyone point it out to me because my last machine had a very visible line?
It is pretty much the whole bottom. When you open the door and lay it flat there are little words written on the step down in line with the hinges of the door if that makes sense, that say fill line. So you fill the water up to there, which is pretty much the whole bottom part. It winds up being about 1/2 inch less than the level of the door.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank you
@@florida_man_games4312 You are welcome!!
I'm curious... How much water is used to fill the machine from empty? A gallon? litres? Quarts?
It is between 1 and two liters of water
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks! 😊 🙏🏾
