Why is VIVOHOME Portable Countertop Ice Maker worth it?
At a modest price, the VIVOHOME provides an unlimited amount of ice anywhere you go. No refrigerator or freezer is needed. This compact ice maker just requires a 115V outlet to run. It can produce about 26 pounds of ice a day, which is more than enough to keep your drinks cold during a cocktail party or office gathering.
This portable ice maker is easy to operate at the push of a button. Simply add water, connect the power, press the "on" switch, and select the size of ice cubes you desire.
What is the difference between the VIVOHOME Portable Countertop Ice Maker and competitors?
The VIVOHOME has a lightweight, compact design that makes it easily portable. The sleek, modern design fits in well with any kitchen decor, especially since you can choose from various colors to match your existing appliances. More compact than some models, the VIVOHOME has a footprint of less than one square foot, so it takes up minimal counter space.
On the inside, this ice maker runs on powerful refrigeration compressors and copper-aluminum condensers that provide for fast cooling, efficient heat dissipation, and a lower noise level than many other models. It conveniently makes two sizes of cubes.
FAQ
We've researched and answered some common questions that arise when consumers are shopping for ice makers.
How do I clean the portable ice maker?
A portable ice maker should be cleaned every two to six months. Unplug and drain the ice maker of any leftover water. Fill the machine with a cleaning solution and water, and wash the interior and basket. Allow the water to drain through the outlet at the bottom. To prevent mold, wipe the inside of the ice maker dry after each use. A diluted bleach solution can be used to clean the interior before being dried completely.
Do you need a special type of water for the ice maker?
The VIVOHOME portable ice maker does not require any particular type of water. You can use spring water, tap water, or even juice or coffee to make flavored ice cubes. However, using filtered water will improve the quality of your ice and increase the longevity of your ice maker. Non-filtered water could result in a cloudy appearance, faint odor, or off-taste to your ice.
Can you leave ice in the portable ice maker?
Portable ice makers are not designed to store ice long-term but rather to continuously produce ice for immediate use. Since they do not have the cooling power to keep the freshly-made ice cold for long, it is recommended that you move unused ice to a freezer. However, you don’t have to worry about unused ice making a wet mess or being wasted; it will melt into the water tray and be turned into ice again.
Final Thoughts
Whether your refrigerator lacks to capacity to produce enough ice, or you need to keep your drinks cool outside of the kitchen, this lightweight ice maker comes to the rescue. It can be carried anywhere and plugged in to produce a basketful of ice in less than 30 minutes. With an intelligent operation panel and a see-through top window, it’s easy to keep the ice flowing.
