I hate ice machines. They are so noisy and take up too much of my counter space. But my husband has to chew ice all day and the one in our Samsung fridge works every 6 months or whenever. We had an Insigna ice machine for almost a year , I was thrilled when that noisy thing broke. But my husband bought another with a 2 year warranty. Shoot me. Now. Well it broke just like the one before. When I went to Best Buy they told me Insigna Ice Makers we’re unavailable. Thank you Baby Jesus! After telling the news to my husband , (did I mention he needs to chew ice all day ?) he forced me well not forced but said “ Go on line and find another one I need to chew so ice “ as he left for the store to by a 20lb bag of ice. So the Frigidaire Ice Maker (comes in decorative colors) was purchased. A two week delivery date ( no I will not pick it up at the store. I am enjoying the peace and quiet from the death of the endless hum ,whirling clang of the Insigna Ice Maker) This Frigidaire arrive within days. ( Insertclose up of me weeping ). My husband unpackaged it with a smile , added the water and turned her on. It’s been a week. Listen to me, this ice machine is silent. I’m talking dead silent. Like broken silent. Making ice around the clock and doing so without calling attention to itself Just a shiny robotic wonder churning out as much ice as my beloved can chew all day long. I hope it never breaks. I think I love it.

Its definitely a good investment you do need to empty it out an clean it so mold doesnt build. Also be aware that it doesnt keep the ice cold so it will melt if you dont use it. You can easily place ice into another container an put it in the freezer so youll have more ice on hand which is what i do especially to fill my cooler. Also it would be nice if the scoop had a slot to place it in on the side of the device so the scoop isnt left inside the machine which can cause cross contamination.

A nice ice maker a little loud while making the ice. Always get at least the 2 year warranty. I have had to replace other model in less the 16 months. So far so good with this model.

I live in a studio and this is the perfect size. It makes as much ice as I need , not noisy when running . The sleek black color is also nice.

I've had this for exactly 1 year. It makes ice great, but is impossible to clean. All the videos tell you to add a vinegar water solution and use a toothbrush or cotton swab to clean it, or descale it. There is buildup in the tub that holds the water where it freezes and it's impossible to get anything back there to really clean it. This thing really should have some sort of access to the upper back portion of the ice maker. I'm ready to get rid of this thing with the amount of work it takes to get it clean (which you can't).

Hi JoshfD, try using distilled/reverse osmosis water (after you have cleaned the icemaker). You may be in an area where the water has a high mineral content and that is what is building up in your ice maker.
You can also try a solution of citric acid and water to descale the unit.

Very pleased. Worked as advertised from the first use. Different shape "cubes" and would be great to make what you need before hand and use at a dinner party. This ice maker would be great for any use.

My dad was unable to get our ice maker fixed since the part is no longer made, and honestly we didn't want to buy another fridge. We were buying bags of ice for $2.50 twice a week for a total of $260 a year. I finally broke down and started looking for a countertop ice maker. I read one review about this one in particular that the lady's husband had been through two ice makers in a year, and she LOATHED them because they were noisy, expensive, and took up space. Then she bought this one and gave a good review about it being worth it. SO I bought it... and it was WELL worth it. It has already made more ice than what we would have bought. It has pretty much already paid for itself. I never have to stop and get a bag again (or get in trouble for forgetting to). It was easily the best money I have spent in a very long time.

I didn’t have high expectations for this but honestly we absolutely love it. Makes plenty of ice for daily use, isn’t loud and works exactly as expected. The only thing I don’t love is that the inside has kind of a weird smell. The ice doesn’t taste weird or anything so it’s fine. As a renter with no ice maker this is a small luxury that goes a long way for a reasonable price.
Kristeniswhite Posted
If you’re debating, GET IT. I was so happy with this ice maker, it’s not very loud and you have the choice of small or large cubes. Doesn’t take up a ton of counter space and it’s very quick. We have an ice bin in the freezer and we turn this on to fill it up and then I unplug and keep her off in the meantime. I love ice so this was a game changer for me!

Our refrigerator's ice maker can't keep up when ever we have company. So we bought this ice maker. It makes 9 cubes abut every 8 minutes or so. I found it works even better when I add cold water to the reservoir. When the tray gets filled we dump that in a bag and throw it in the freezer. P.S. It is also fun to watch.
TLFOHIO Posted
This unit is awesome. I couldn't believe how easy it was to use; how quick it made ice cubes; how quiet it runs and how many ice cubes that you get on one fill of water. I would highly recommend.

We purchased this to use in our camper. It makes ice quickly and is pretty quiet. When it ran out of water over night, the ice that was in the basket kept until we refilled the machine. I was really surprised it didn't melt. So far, we are very happy with this purchase.

We had had another brand of ice maker and it had died after going out of warranty. We bought another and it only lasted a month, so we decided to change brands and went with this Frigidaire. So far it is working great and seems make ice quicker than our last brand. It was an easy setup and I had it going in a few minutes after taking it out of the box.

I've been buying bagged ice for 15 years. Why didn't I get this sooner????? My home came with a perfectly working refrigerator, freezer--just the icemaker didn't work. Tried to make myself fill ice trays up, I just wasn't consistent; there really wasn't enough room for them. Our new ice maker is PERFECT for my famioy of three. great size cubes (actually tubes) great for crunching and cooling our drinks. works just like is described. Recommend.

I bought this as a gift for my grandparents because they have used ice trays for as long as I can remember. They use it daily now. It is such a great help and peace of mind for me. I love the compact size and the output is perfect for daily use or for long term storing of ice.
