I love hosting. Whether friends or family – I’m glad cook, provide beverages and of course memories in the making. One thing that I’m always lacking is ice. My fridge ice maker just can’t seem to handle company. Works great for our little family but add in a few more drinks and you’re out of luck.

As a host, I don’t ever want to say “Hope you like no Iced Tea!” Thanks to the
Magic Chef Countertop Ice Maker, I never will!

I can’t tell you how excited I was to try this little guy out! A couple of notable features:
- Makes ice in as little as 7 minutes
- Two sizes of cubes
- Yields 9 ice cube per cycle

I gave it a quick cleaning and put it to work. A rather simple process, with a drain port at the bottom of the machine you can make as much or as little ice as you desire. Simply plug your machine in, select ice cube size and you are ready to go! It’s easy to empty the ice basket when full with the handy ice scooper or simply remove the ice basket. Keep an eye on it because once the basket is too full, the Magic Chef Countertop Ice Maker will not make any more ice until space is freed up.

I’d like to point out that I put the
Magic Chef Countertop Ice Maker on a cutting board because there are screws on the bottom of the device and they
will scratch your countertops.
Just take my word for it, mmmm’okay?

Otherwise, I’m pleased and super surprised how much ice the Magic Chef Countertop Ice Maker makes with approximately 10 cups of water.

The ice – oh, the ice is perfect too! Right out of the hopper it’s a softer ice, perfect to crunch on. We made both small and large cubes but I couldn’t really tell a difference in size. Either way, I’ve been making batches and storing them in the freezer.

The Magic Chef Countertop Ice Maker sells for $149

I love ice
Hi, I would love this ice maker. I am disabled and have steps in my house. I stay in my room most of every day and am not able to go up and down the steps to get ice from the kitchen refrigerator.
Having this would mean I’d be able to have nice cold drinks. I would be able to have this in my bathroom on my sink so I could easily get ice. Right now, I have to bother others to bring me ice and it’s annoying to them and I hate having to ask them.
Thank you for the chance to win this. It would def. Be life changing for me.

It would be so nice to have ice when camping that I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for!!!
I want to get an ice maker because we don’t have one in our freezer and we don’t have enough room for all the ice we use in the summer.
Especially when we make margaritas!
This would be wonderful for our family get togethers! It would take care of the need for those trips for bags of ice in a cooler. Come to think of it, it would be great for filling a cooler when we do picnic day trips, too.
My refrigerator is probably 15 years old & it doesn’t have an automatic ice maker. The freezer is small & only has room for 2 old fashioned ice cube trays. We’ve got 5 kids – so in the dead of summer when it is blazing hot out, with 7 people in the house – we need a LOT of ice cubes & those 2 trays aren’t going to cut it! This would be great for us.
because it would be cheaper to make ice than buy it ty 😉
I would love this for parties and to use all the time because I hate taking up my freezer with bags of ice.

If I had this, I would not have to buy bags of ice anymore.

Good Luck everyone!

Unfortunatly I am unable to fix because frig is to old so I have to buy a new frig….ugh! this ice maker would make my life so much easier than the ice trays I am now having to use. 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win
There are two reasons I want to win the Magic Chef Countertop Ice Maker.
First, my trusty, totally non-modern fridge does not have an ice maker and this little machine could make ice production a whole lot simpler. Second, this would be so great to use for family gatherings or friend get-togethers, since I never seem to have enough ice on hand when larger groups present themselves. Thanks!
We have a tiny freezer so this would free up a lot of room in there.
I would love to win because we don’t have an ice maker in our freezer, and we can’t keep trays in there because they always gets spilled over when trying to freeze. This would be the ideal maker to have! We would definitely put this to use in our home.
I would love to win the ice cube maker, because I never seem to have ice cubes when I need them
I’d love to win the ice maker because my husband thinks that I am the ice maker. He uses the ice but never replaces the ice cube trays to make more ice. I’d like the chance to win this ice maker so that I don’t have to always be the one to refill the ice cube trays.
because our current maker requires freezing
I would love to win this when we are having big parties or BBQ’s & not having the freezer door opened all day/night long. Just makes it easier!
I’d love it for our iced tea.
WE MAKE ICE EVERY DAY AND ON THE WEEKEND WE BUY ICE! IT SURE WOULD BE NICE HAVING AN ICE MAKER!
Ice makes me feel nice
This would really be handy for summer time drinks!
We would love this. We spend allot of time out in nature camping out in the woods or spending time at the lake. This would come in handy. Thanks for the opportunity to play
This would be great for my fiance’. He carries a cooler for his employees during the summer so they have cold drinks.Buying ice everyday gets expensive.
To put in my ice tea with out getting any freezer smell on my ice cubes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in a area where the summers get very hot and having an extra ice maker would come in handy for some ice cold drinks.

Feelin cooler already!
I hate fooling with individual ice trays that take up room in my freezer and are slow. When I want ice I want it right now. My apartment fridge isn’t hooked up with an ice maker and yours sure would help with family gatherings and just everyday usage.
I would use this product a lot!
i’m in an apartment with a tiny freezer. considering how many foods i prepare for freezing, i do not have much room in my freezer for ice-making trays. this would be handy since it is hot where i live most of the year and cold drinks are a nice thing to have around.
This would be perfect for entertaining this summer.
i would love to win this because i like cold beverages and our fridge does not have an ice-maker
I want to win the ice-maker so that I will have ice for the long hot days of summer.
I moved into my house almost 5 years ago and the ice maker in the fridge worked for about a week and then never worked again. My husband and I do not use ice on a daily basis, but when we have guests over or we have a party, we have to go and buy a bag of ice to use. It would be nice to have an ice maker. There is nothing else wrong with the fridge so we don’t feel like we need to replace it yet.
I would love to take this camping!!! I have a hard time giving up some of the little things. This would keep me going.
Would save lots of money especially now that warmer weather is closer and cookouts are going to be happening soon.
I hate to fill up ice cube trays, that is why I want to win.

Oh the possibilities. Pick me, please!
I go through a lot of ice making my daily Shakeology and daily veggie smoothies. My poor ice cube trays are breaking and the ice which I use was rough enough that it killed my Ninja blender. I’d love this to make ‘softer’ ice when I need it and it would be great for RVing, too.
I would love this, we buy our ice now and it adds up over time. It would be a lot easier to have an ice maker.

I have game nights at my house often and we buy ice because we don’t have an ice maker in our fridge. We go through a lot of ice year round with my family as well.
Im constantly buying bags of ice during the summer months. This would be a money and time saver for me.
Oh we would love this! The ice machine in our freezer broke years ago, and I really miss the ice….especially in the spring for water and Iced Tea!!! We do buy the bags ever now and then but for the most part go without ice. I would be so excited to have ice and not the big bags taking up freezer space. 🙂

I want to win because the ice maker would come in handy for family gatherings and parties.
Whoever designed our freezer didn’t do a very good job. There isn’t a single flat spot, so we can’t put ice cube trays anywhere. Having an ice maker would make it so we can actually have ice in our house.
I hate trying to figure a way to fit ice cube trays in the freeze without them tipping over.

This is great for when guests come over.
I am forever running out of ice and having to buy more at the store! I would love to have this to reduce my having to purchase extra!
