Videos and Review of the hOmeLabs Countertop Ice Maker Machine
For a portable ice maker that sells for under $200, it’s not bad. I can see this machine being used for a small gathering or home party or even in the office kitchen. It’s quite simple, easy to use and makes ice in a decent amount of time.
It’s not quite as quiet as the manufacturers states. If you look at the review videos below you will hear the ice hitting the tray and the water movement.
Your review on this portable ice maker will be determined how you put this to use. The hOmeLabs Portable Ice Maker Machine for Countertop does make ice, but the tray where the ice us stored does not maintain the ice cold. This means the ice melts over time. The cool thing about the design, is that the ice melts back in to the water holding tray. If you are using this outdoors or somewhere warm, understand that the ice will melt quicker.
