Hey y’all,
Liz here, coming at ya from my humble abode NYC. Recently, I had a bit of a situation in our tiny apartment that required a quick fix. You see, with the summer heat cranking up, our old ice tray routine just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Enter the DUMOS Countertop Ice Maker. I snagged this little gadget off Amazon, and I thought I’d share my thoughts on whether it’s worth the counter space in your kitchen or RV.
So, this little icemaker drops ice cubes in just 6 minutes. It’s like it’s on a mission to keep my iced tea perfectly chilled. It also boasts a self-cleaning function, which, let’s be honest, is a godsend because who has time for manual scrubbing?
The first thing I noticed when I unpacked this ice maker was its compact size. It’s kinda cute and doesn’t hog much space, which is golden in our little kitchen. Plus, it’s got a handle, making it a breeze to move around.
Now, let’s talk performance. This puppy cranks out ice pretty fast. You can choose from two sizes of ice cubes—small and large. The small ones are perfect for quickly cooling drinks without watering them down too much, and the large ones are great for fill-ups that last longer.
The self-cleaning feature is straightforward—just hold the button down, and it does its thing. I’m all about products that make my life easier, and this feature is a winner for sure.
Here is the bad side of this little guy: The ice doesn’t stay frozen for very long once it’s made, which means you have to use it pretty quickly or transfer it to the freezer. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind.
As for the noise level, it’s pretty quiet. It hums along in the background and isn’t disruptive, which is more than I can say for some appliances (yeah, I’m looking at you, old blender).
One thing I do need to point out is the durability of the handle. While it’s handy, it feels a bit flimsy. I haven’t had any issues with it yet, but it’s something I’m keeping my eye on.
Overall, I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It’s quick, convenient, and doesn’t ask for much space or effort. If you’re in a small space or need an ice maker for occasional use, this could be a great fit. Just remember to handle the handle with care!
Hope this helps for anyone considering an ice maker! Stay cool and keep those drinks icy.
XOXO, Liz
