What We Like About It? (Pros)
Portable
Crownful EP1069 Ice Maker is one of the best portable ice makers we came across. With a dimension of 8.9×12.2×12.8 inches, this compact ice maker is sleek and lightweight. While checking out for its overall functioning, we could easily lift it and carry it from one place to another.
Water-Saving
After using a few ice cubes, we left some in the reservoir. When those ice cubes started melting, to our surprise, the melted water got collected in its reservoir again, and it got reused for making ice. Due to this water reusability, this Crownful 26 pounds ice maker became a perfect choice for us. We were happy to see that the melted water does not get wasted and can be automatically reused.
Effortless Maintenance
Keeping this countertop ice maker machine clean was the one thing that troubled us since it was recommended to clean once a week for better efficiency. But it made us feel relaxed when we saw that its cleaning process is not at all stressful. We could easily wipe with a clean and soft damp cloth to remove any stains.
Low Noise
Another advantage of Crownful table top ice maker that it offers is smooth working without making any noise. As we started on with its ice-making process, we realized that the entire process could be completed in a low noise around less than 55dB. It is due to this low noise that we did not get restricted to use it even in front of our guests.
Easy to Use
The simple ice-making process does not call for any complicated technology for its operation. Even though we were trying it for the first time, it provided a smooth working process. We could prepare the ice in just 3 steps. Pour the water in its tank, press the on/off button, and after 8-10 min, just take the ice cubes out. For your convenience, there is an ice scoop provided to lift ice cubes easily.
What We Dislike About It? (Cons)
Standing Time
After bringing this best home ice maker to our home, we figured out that it cannot be used instantly as we were about to start immediately with its ice-making process. We needed to keep it standing upright for 2-4 hours before starting on with the first cycle. Also, the ice cubes of the first cycle were a bit small. We got satisfactory results after 1-2 cycles only.
No storage
Crownful 26lbs Portable Ice Maker will not allow you to store ice cubes for a long time. After completing the ice making process, we left out a few cubes in its reservoir, and they melted in no time. To store those ice cubes, we had to take them out and keep them in our freezer. In most of the Crownful EP1069-UL Ice Maker review articles, you can this as the main drawback that customers complained about.
