Makes ice quickly but doesn’t store ice
on August 9, 2026
Posted by: CasieJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not at all what I thought I was getting. First, the good- it makes ice and it makes it quickly. It also does not need to be connected to a water line. It’s portable and easy to use. It has a plug in option and a battery power option plus comes with the necessary accessories to use it either way. The instructions are clear and concise.
The bad- it’s a relatively large machine for a minimal amount of ice. I thought the ice reservoir would be much larger but this will only make enough ice for about 3-4 glasses. The ice maker is NOT a freezer/cooler so once the ice is made, it has to be immediately moved to the freezer for storage otherwise it starts melting. It’s not something you can let run and have ice whenever you want it. It’s something you turn on when you plan to use it and then empty when you are done. The color is terrible. I thought I ordered a silver one but ended up with an old retro tan/yellow color. It smells terrible upon first opening- this does dissipate after a while airing out.
This is a great kitchen gadget for someone that might not have an ice maker in their freezer and occasionally has a need for ice. It’s great for a short outing where you are driving and want to have fresh ice whenever you get there.
It is not really that practical for everyday use or often needing ice. It’s a bit bulky to leave on the counter all the time to make ice when it doesn’t even store the ice for you.
Seems to be good quality and doesn’t make a lot of noise.

Not impressed
on August 3, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This - homevol evo1 - corded and battery powered ice maker machine - by fufu and gaga is not worth the time or money. Large and bulky, inconvenient shape and size. Water tray isn't sealed off so bugs get into water tray easily. Doesn't make ice constantly either. Not easy to operate. Always shuts off.

Solid Ice Maker
on August 3, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this ice maker. We set it all up which was pretty simple. It did take a long time to actually make the ice. A few cubes come out at a time and the machine is pretty loud. If you plan on using for a party or event definitely need it set up and on early so the ice will be ready in time. Overall it was ok.

The Ultimate Portable Ice Solution!
on July 31, 2026
Posted by: JackM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Homevol EV01 Corded and Battery Powered Ice Maker is an absolute game-changer for anyone who loves spending time outdoors or hosting family gatherings. Its compact design fits on a kitchen counter, yet it is powerful enough to keep up with my family’s high ice demand, dropping a fresh cycle of cubes in about 6 minutes and filling the entire bin in under 45 minutes. The dual-power option is what really sets this machine apart from the rest; I recently took it to a family reunion at a local park, and using the two included batteries, it ran flawlessly on bottled water, leaving everyone highly impressed. It’s incredibly user-friendly with a single central knob to control the cool blue backlight and toggle between small and large ice cubes. Maintance is a breeze thanks to the self-cleaning feature and the convenient bottom drain plug, ensuring the machine stays hygienic with minimal effort. Designed for portability, it features a sturdy carrying handle, a removable ice tray, and even a drip tray and scoop. Best of all, the unit is whisper quiet, the only sound you’ll hear is the ice dropping in the tray! Whether you’re into camping, tailgating, or just enjoying a picnic, this versatile and reliable ice maker is an essential investment that will have all your friends and family wanting one of their own!

Compact, durable and portable ice machine!
on July 30, 2026
Posted by: StephanieS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with this ice maker. The option to run it either plugged in or on battery makes it incredibly convenient for everything from the kitchen to camping, tailgates, and outdoor gatherings. It makes ice quickly, and the controls are simple and easy to use. Maintenance is minimal. The removable basket and self cleaning function make cleanup fast and hassle free. It feels well built and durable, and the compact size makes it easy to store or transport. While you can hear it making ice, the noise level is reasonable and not disruptive. Overall it’s a reliable, portable ice maker that combines convenience, performance, and easy upkeep.
