My wife wanted an ice maker (our fridge isn't plumbed in), and this has perfectly fit the bill. It's easy to add water to, it starts making ice quickly, it doesn't drive up our electricity costs, and it's not too loud. If you need a standalone ice maker, it's hard to beat.
I waited a few months before leaving a review because I loved my last ice(not Govee brand) maker and gave it 5* but a few weeks after seeing it up it broke
We recently picked up the GoveeLife Smart Countertop Ice Maker 1S, and it’s been a great addition to our kitchen. It makes ice fast — about 9 cubes every 6 minutes — and you can choose from three different sizes. The self-cleaning feature is super convenient, and we love that we can control it from the Govee app or even with Alexa. It’s not refrigerated, so the ice melts if left sitting too long, but for day-to-day use, it’s perfect. My wife absolutely loves it — it’s become one of her favorite kitchen gadgets.
