A compact, light bullet maker with the easiest self-cleaning mode Wirecutter tried. Amazon owners frequently report units quitting around six months, and noise opinions are split.
Top complaints
- Breaks after about six months
Amazon's review summary says durability is a concern, with many units breaking after 6 months, and that reliability is mixed.
- Too loud for some
Amazon's summary says noise gets mixed reviews: some call it relatively quiet, others find it too loud.
- Smaller reservoir, cloudy ice
Wirecutter says the smaller reservoir needs refilling a bit more often and that the bullets are cloudy, which makes fizzy drinks go flat faster.
