My wife and I like to entertain and need a steadier supply of ice. Running to the bulk ice distribution is a pain. We're looking at ice makers and have the space for a Vevor unit. I recognize that this is not a Hoshizaki or one of the other fine units. I can't justify spending $1,500+, don't want to deal with the associated cabinet work, and figure that even if it dies in a few years, I'll be ahead.

There are a number of comparatively low dollar options on Amazon, but does anyone have experience with Vevor? This is what I'm looking at: Vevor Ice Maker

I have one. It works good for what it is. It makes ice but you have to send time adjusting the times. It is all based on times. No sensors

It cycles base on time. So it is in the freeze cycle for some many minutes. To short your ice is thin. To long your ice is thick and cubes will not break apart. Changes in out side temps means you need to adjust times.

I know you mentioned not wanting to pay for it, but a hoshizaki is going to be your best bet. If you want longevity and quality, they are hard to beat.

I have an under counter model Manitowok in my laundry room.
Makes 110 pounds a day and stores 40. Paid $1000 for it used a few years ago.
Keeps me in ice.

I have that model and I am very happy with it
I bag ice during the week put it in my extra freezer and have plenty for fishing trips or going to the camp
