Muy bueno

I got the Joy Pebble V2.0 Commercial Ice Machine as a gift for my in-laws, and it’s been a fantastic addition to their home. At first glance, the machine seemed small, but it surprised us with its capacity. It held the advertised 55 lbs of ice, and the compact size makes it easy to fit under a counter.Installation was a breeze, and it only took about 3 hours for the machine to fill up with ice. One feature I really appreciated was the ability to connect it to bottled water instead of tap water. It used about a 5-gallon bottle to fill initially, and then only a small amount to maintain the supply.The option to adjust the size of the ice is a nice touch, and the transparent window lets you watch the ice being made—a process that takes about 10 minutes per tray.If you’re in the market for an ice machine, I highly recommend this one. It’s efficient, easy to use, and offers great value for its size and features.

After reading many reviews about this ice maker and several similar models, I finally decided to give it a try. My family and I consume a lot of ice, especially during the summer months. An this ice maker/machine is perfect for us! There are many positive things to say about it, and honestly I can't think of any negative things to say. So I'll just give you a little list of the positive benefits I've seen so far.First, it makes a lot of ice! It holds about 30lbs or so, and it takes roughly 3 gallons of water to make that much ice. It has a flop down mechanism that allows the machine to know when it is full. Once it's full the machine stops producing ice and will restart as soon as you remove some.Like I said, it consumes about 1 gallon of water per 10lbs of ice. I know this, because I currently have it connected to a 4.5 gallon refillable filtered water bottle (the kind you can get from Home Depot). That made it easier to measure it's water usage.The unit features two water type connections. You can either hook it up to your water line (preferable with a filter in-line) or you can use the supplied hose to connect it to a water bottle. The unit has a built in water pump, so when you put the hose in the bottle, it will pump the water up and into the unit.It takes about 20mins for it to produce it's first batch of ice. This is because the unit has to first pre-cool the inside of the unit, before it begins freezing the ice tray. Depending on the room temperature it can take a few minutes. Once it's making ice, the cycle time becomes shorter and shorter as more ice fills the bin. It seems to take about 13 mins from start to finish between batches. So it makes a lot of ice very fast!The supplied drain hose is very important as the ice melts the bin will fill with water unless you have the hose attached. You can either let the water drain into a bucket or connect it to a drain line but you must have the machine higher than whatever you are draining it into. So I raised my unit up about 16" on a platform in my counter so that it can drain more easily into a container I have under the counter.The unit consumes right around 235 watts of power while running. This drops to about 200 watts between cycles when the compressor turns off to allow the ice to slide off the tray and into the bin. Surprisingly there is little to no surge voltage when it restarts. (Usually with appliances that have compressors, there is a high surge in power usage when the compressor starts. Air Conditioners and Refrigerators do this.)The ice it produces is in small cubes that are often still connected to each other because of the way they are formed in the tray. They are easily broken into single cubes. Nothing to worry about.It is a little noisy at first, especially when the ice drops into the bin. It takes a little while to get used to that sound. I recommend not running it at night, the sudden dropping of ice might wake you up. lol Otherwise the unit is pretty quite. It's about as loud as a refrigerator would be during operation.One thing I didn't consider when I bought this was that it does sometimes drop condensation from the bottom of the unit. So I placed aluminum backing tins underneath it, just in case it drips too much.I guess the one negative thing I can think of to say about this machine is that is does produce heat. There is a large vent on the front where heat exhaust is blow through and into the room. It can get pretty warm sometimes. If you have air conditioning you probably won't notice it too much. Kitchens are usually warm anyway, so it's just an extra heat source to consider if it's in your kitchen.Looking at the photos I've posted, you will see the unit is white. It's NOT white, that is just a plastic protective wrap, the unit is stainless steel. :)

Large cubes that do not melt after adding to a drink.roughly 40 quarts from a single load of the hopper in about 8 hours.you can fill three 48 quart ice chests per day as long as you empty the hopper when it is full.works pretty much flawlessly with no real moving parts (unlike those flimsy arms like on those little home ice makers, with the mushroom cubes that evaporate as you add them to a drink). Stops making ice when hopper is full, a flap over water tray lowers when ice cannot fall into the hopper. restarts making ice again when ice flap raises back up.I like it and I think we can have it repaired fairly easily should it ever need servicing.whether you use plumbing/pressurized water or are using a water bottle/jug you'll have no issues. I would recommend raising the external water bottle/jug about 8 inches higher than base of unit to ensure the filling is reliable. Any higher and you'll overflow the water tray inside machine. any lower and it seems to run the internal water tray dry as the water level in the bottle/jug drops lower.this unit NEEDS to be in a air conditioned room as it is not insulated. If you were to use it in a hot garage the ice will melt too fast!you can set a timer for how long to make ice as well. you can also adjust the ice hardness up or down. also has a cleaning mode where you can run vinegar through it and clean out everything inside the plumbing lines.Unlike the small consumer models you can also ACTUALLY REACH inside without disassembly and mechanically clean EVERYTHING else.Great ice maker and we've been using it everyday for 7+ months!The drain hose works well and you will need to run that line to something like a washer hose drain which we are using. Both the washer drain hose and the ice maker hose fit in the same drain pipe. Occasionally I have to lift the drain hose up and let it drop down in a swift motion to start the melting ice water to drain off. But that is occasionally as only sometimes does it not drain correctly. I suspect little pieces of ice jam the drain hole and cause the drain line to break the siphon. In any cause we have been well pleased, always have plenty of ice and and no real issues with it.

Did not like this machine at first. I read the book start to finish and found that from the factory the water tube that fills the ice tray was installed the wrong direction causing water to melt the already made ice causing the machine to error out when it ran out of water. Following the care and cleaning instructions I adjusted the tube and this this is an ice making monster! Love works great for my business we pull three complete bins from it a day!

Even better and faster than expected
