The Euhomy Model 1102, which I bought a few months ago, makes excellent nugget ice. While there are a lot of nugget ice makers on the market, please keep in mind that if they are difficult to clean and drain, you won't enjoy using them as much. The Euhomy has a clean mode that circulates water through the machine without using the condenser, making it very simple to clean. The machine's ease of draining is also crucial. It is simple to disconnect the two tubes that connect on the back and drain the machine. I replace the basket, turn on the machine, and fill the bottom with filtered water up to the max line to make ice. The machine makes ice by freezing water in little cylinders, then, at that point, pushing the frozen chamber of ice up to the highest point of the machine, where it severs little pieces the frozen chamber of ice, and they fall into the container. Within 10 to 15 minutes, it begins to form ice. When the ice is cut and pushed, as well as when it falls into the bin below, I can hear a slight squeaking. The sound level is no stronger than my cooler. If the bin is full, as well as if there is no more water in it, it will shut off by itself. Before the water freezes, a UV sanitation light further cleans it. The ice is delicious. Being able to leave the machine unattended for two hours is very convenient; it will simply continue to make ice. (Most of the time, I have to unload one of my other machines.) Using the scoop that comes with the machine, you can use the ice right away. However, I like to refill the water and empty the ice bin into bags about every two hours. The bags are kept frozen. Please be aware that the ice will combine to freeze, but I have a solution: After the bag has frozen, wrap it in a towel and hammer it lightly. The bag will be shielded from the ice by the towel, and the shock will break it apart into pretty frozen nuggets. Because the nuggets will remain in this manner once separated, you only need to do this once. There is only one flaw in the procedure, and I have an easy fix for it. At the point when you eliminate the ice plate to place into pack or to add water to the machine, while the plate is out, chunks of ice will keep on dropping into the water tank beneath. Even though there are only a few of them, they are priceless, and I don't want to lose them. As a result, I have inserted a quarter-inch-thick piece of dense packing foam (not styrofoam) measuring 2 by 3 inches into the slide where the ice exits. There are little scores incorporated into the machine which will hold the froth entirely set up and keep the ice from dropping into the water tank. After that, you can reposition the tray, fill the bucket with water, and empty it into a bag. At the point when you eliminate the froth a moment later, the chunks that were briefly caught will simply fall into the plate. The foam should not be left in the machine! When I'm done using the machine, I always disconnect the back tubes to get rid of the water. This is simple and maintains machine cleanliness.
