Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of NewAir AI-210W Portable Ice Maker In White With Easy to Read LCD DisplayCustomer Review: Great Ice Maker! Summary: 5 Stars
Just received this unit and have been running it non-stop for about 24-hours now. Makes ice just as described and have been totally satisfied with the unit so far. Was packaged nicely and arrived perfect...easy-start instructions allowed me to start making ice immediately.
I researched all of the portable ice makers, ranging from $99 up to $300 and decided that this was the one. I considered the stainless version, but since we're not using it inside our home, the while was good and saved me $40 over stainless.
This unit is BIG, so make sure you check dimensions if you're limited on space. As all of these makers (and other review comments), this is not a freezer...so when the ice is dumped, you need to take it out of the unit and pop into a real ice freezer within a reasonable amount of time; otherwise, the ice will start melting back into the water reservoir. That's not a problem, but just defeats the purpose of making ice!
I love the ice cube size options, but admit, that I've only made the "medium" size so far. The taste is actually better than store-bought ice in my opinion...actually, no plastic taste like I read on some other unit reviews. I'd never thought about getting one of these until my wife reminded me how much ice she BUYS during the hot summer months. If this thing continues to run as it has so far, it will pay-back in no time!
I have mine mounted on top of a fridge/freezer unit out in a detatched (HVAC-controlled) garage. After 4-5 doffs of ice, I transfer the cubes into a freezer bag and just pop the bag into the freezer below. It seems well-insulated, so should be OK for non-controlled areas. It is just a tad noisey while running...not bad, but sounds just like a small air conditioner or fan running. Not sure how much electricity it's pulling, and haven't even looked at the spec on it.
So...I think I made a good decision. The only concern is that it seems like many of the portable ice makers do have problems over time. I think the New Air models are probably better quality? Or it might be like a lot of other products...all made from the same manufacturer, but under different name tag.
