As we approach the warmer months, many of us dream of having a constant supply of fresh ice cubes for our drinks, be it a mid-morning iced coffee or a refreshing afternoon beverage. However, not everyone has the luxury of ample freezer space to produce trays of ice cubes.

If you're fed up with purchasing overpriced bags of ice from stores, you might want to consider this Palinth Ice Maker Machine on Amazon. It's currently discounted from £89.99 to £76.49, and Prime members can take advantage of an additional £10 off with a voucher. This significant reduction makes it the lowest price ever offered on Amazon for this product.

The countertop machine is capable of producing large quantities of ice cubes in two different sizes. It dispenses the cubes into a tray with a lid for easy access, and reportedly produces nine ice cubes in approximately six minutes. So, if you find yourself in need of ice cubes at short notice, this machine is a more reliable option than most freezers.

A quick search will reveal that other ice cube makers are often pricier than Palinth's offering, such as the HOMCOM model priced at £149.99 at B&Q, or the Costway version reduced from £109.95 to £79.95 at The Range. However, these models may come with additional features.

The Palinth ice cube maker enjoys an average score of 4.7 stars from over 100 reviews, which is quite the achievement. Some users are chuffed to bits with how quickly this machine gets the job done. One satisfied customer reported: "It's really quick at making ice. The whole basket is basically full within 1hr."

Another happy user chimed in: "Nothing to dislike about this product. It works great. There are two sizes of ice cubes, solid, fairly fast at producing ice, compact quiet machine. Does what it says."

A third reviewer concurred, sharing: "Produces ice quickly when needed. A great little machine and works very well. I love it."

However, there are a few dissapointed shoppers amongs the praise pointing out minor issues they encountered with the appliance.

One review was less impressed with the clarity of the ice, writing: "The cloudy nature of the ice has both pros and cons. The negatives are, it may not be very attractive for use in whisky etc. Also, it is more brittle, as it is slightly less solid (the cloudiness is from trapped air during rapid freeze process), possibly requiring a bit more apparent volume of ice in drinks compared to traditionally frozen ice."

Another review highlighted a separate issue: "Sometimes the machine sends out a faulty batch? It'll do a whole run and produce cold water with a bit of ice. This is a rare occurrence though."

While this could pose more of an inconvenience, it appears that each problem has only impacted a minority of customers. Therefore, if you're looking for speedy, consistent ice production, your experience with the Palinth Ice Maker Machine should be positive.
