Plop, plop, fizz, fizz oh what a clean ice maker it is.My wife likes to make ice nuggets to chew on, so we bought a countertop portable nugget ice maker.After using it for a few months we realized it was getting kind of dirty inside. Washing it out was difficult due to all the tight spaces and crevices. I also used vinegar which took several more cycles to get the taste and smell out of the unit.These tablets are a godsend for cleaning that ice maker. All I do is fill the unit with water and drop this in, let it fizz, and then put it through one cleaning cycle, one rinse cycle, and it's all ready to go back online.It's amazing the amount of dirt that comes out of the ice maker after I use this dissolving tablet in the water. I hate to think what my wife has been drinking up until the point at which I clean the unit.I think these are a great value in cleaning my ice maker and I will keep a large supply on hand for whenever it needs to be cleaned.

This is a winner! I used a tablet and ran the cleaning cycle twice after emptying out the water, then putting in the tablet and refilling, running 2 cleaning cycles, drained out the water, filled with clean water, felt the inside of the water bin and it was totally clean, no algae or slippery surfaces. This product is a WINNER and does as it says it does with only one tablet for a small size icemaker. Will buy again. I have tried other things, such as vinegar and a light phosphoric acid concentration and these tablets just work as expected.

We bought a used ice maker at a garage sale that looked clean upon inspection, but after getting it home, we found thick, hard water stains and mildew in and under the tray that fills with water, as well as under the plastic filter in the bottom. After partially dismantling the appliance, I was able to clean most of it off, but I wasn't comfortable removing the water tube. I found these tabs were recommended to thoroughly clean ice makers, so I gave them a shot. Lots of gross stuff came out right away, and now it's completely clean! The ice is clear and shiny with no aftertaste (make sure to give it a good rinse cycle). I highly recommend these to clean your ice maker! They even included a handwritten note inside, which was a nice, personal touch.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had no idea how dirty my machine was. When i saw the rust. I couldn't believe my eyes. This product cleaned my machine almost to brand new. No rust maybe a few stains left. The product was run through a cleaning cycle 3 or 4 times until i was satisfied. Then i made ice out of the product 3 or 4 times to get the product into every crevices. Now i have BEAUTIFUL ICECleaning ability:Not sure i my machine was bad but it was to me. Rust in places i couldn't get a cleaning tool. With each use, one tablet per round. The machine would have floaties that i would throughly rinse and repeat until satisfaction. I used the cleaning function 3 or 4 times over the course of a week. Then i made ice for a week one tablet each time full rinse after to insure the product cleaned properly.

Worked great! I use the washing machine tablets & swear by them so I thought I’d give these a shot for my newly received countertop ice maker too. Performed just as expected & loosened up the couple of mineral deposits well. I could wipe it clean with just a paper towel. Rinsed off the basket & scoop in the sink & then put the whole machine through a cycle of clean water. No weird chemical smell or residual taste either!

This product is the best I’ve used. I’ve tried the liquid cleaners made specifically for ice machines. And I’ve used straight vinegar, thinking I just need something really strong to blast the crud out from inside. But nothing has worked for me as quickly and easily and, apparently, as effectively as these little tablets. They dissolve in a few minutes and I run a few cleaning cycles and the gunk comes out when I drain the water. And what really tells me it’s working is that when I start the machine up again it doesn’t scream like one of those weird YouTube goats and the new ice comes out clear. I’m sold.

I would highly recommend this product for your ice machines. I have a small countertop ice machine that I have been cleaning with vinegar and bleach, quite a pain to get the smell out-even after many clean water rinses. One of these tablets clean and sanitize the machine and leaves no smell. I only rinsed my machine twice, so saved me alot of time and effort.

These work well as advertised. Only difference for me was I ran two final clean cycles after running the original cleaning cycle with the tablet in it to make sure everything was completely removed. Also found another product to use these. I have a glass, electric kettle that develops some film in it over time from the hot water that's difficult to remove with just a dish soap cleaning. Putting one of these tablets into the kettle, completely filling it with hot tap water and allowing the tablet to dissolve and sit for about an hour did a great job at cleaning this film on the glass. Then washed the kettle with dish soap, ran two full boiling cycles to clean out anything that might be left over and discarded that boiled water. Happy with the results of both uses of the product. The regular price of $20 is too high. But, if they would lower the product's price point down to $15 or $16, it's worth it. So, unfortunately not quite 5 stars.
