After a month of use I’m impressed. I purchased this ice maker because my refrigerator ice maker went out. It fits perfectly on my small counter. Ice production is fast. The sound is comparable to a small fan. It feel great to have ice again.

It’s portable, but my only complaint is I wish it had a waterline hookup attachment. Have to keep filling it with water.

This ice machine takes a long time producing ice. I was disappointed as I have had better experiences with other ice machines. Tried using it prior to leaving out and it made 3 cubes. Then ran without making any mire. Energy waster.

I honestly didn’t realize how much I needed a countertop ice machine until I got this one. It makes ice quickly — usually within just a few minutes — and keeps up really well even when we’re using a lot of ice throughout the day. The size is perfect for the kitchen counter without taking up too much space, and it looks sleek and modern. The ice comes out fresh, clean, and consistent, which is great for drinks, smoothies, and even filling coolers when needed. It’s also surprisingly quiet compared to what I expected. Setup was simple — just add water, plug it in, and it starts making ice almost immediately. Cleaning is easy, and the removable basket makes it convenient to transfer ice. Overall, this has been one of the most useful small appliances in our kitchen. If you’re tired of running out of ice trays or waiting on the freezer, this machine is absolutely worth it.

Does the job well. Makes ice quickly, recycles the melted ice back into new cubes and has a small footprint. It can be a bit loud when the fans kick on and when the ice is made but overall that shouldnt stop you from purchasing.

I'm really impressed by this small icemaker. For the size, it does an adequate job in making ice. There was little to do to set it up; just remove packing material and tape. Instructions were straight-forward. It makes about ten ice cubes each cycle, so don't expect lots of ice in a short time. There are only two people in my household, so this works just fine for us. If you leave the ice in, it will melt and the water goes back into the reservoir. I place the ice in a freezer safe bowl and put it in my freezer.

This icemaker is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. It quickly produces ice, taking only about 15 to 20 minutes from setup to use. The only minor issue I encountered was the loud noise it makes while making ice. However, the ice reservoir could be larger if you’re planning to host large parties, but for my personal use, it was perfectly adequate.

I love my ice maker. The price was right and it has a small footprint which makes it nice for countertop use. It makes ice really fast and is so simple to use. I highly recommend this product.

Makes about 7-8 large ice cubes at a time (I haven't tried the small ones), which take about 5 minutes each. Will continue to make ice until the water runs out or the basket is full. For a full basket it takes about 45 minutes. A full basket is enough for 3-5 people depending on how much ice you like. Once you turn it off eventually the ice will melt and drain back into the reservoir, which can be reused later. I would recommend using fresh water every two days though. There is an easy drain plug at the bottom to help with emptying the reservoir. One thing to note, during ice making there is a bit of fan and motor noise, and occasionally in standby. If you turn it off completely it's silent though.

I've researched many an ice maker, and this one seemed the best. I was buying ice bags because the one in the fridge is no longer working right. This ice maker did not disappoint. The ice comes out quick. The ice basket makes it easy to dump your new ice into your drinks ,or save in a Ziploc freezer bag for later. The design of the scoop holder is a nice touch. If you forget to refill the water, it will remind you. Auto shut-off when the basket is full. Just keep in mind that it will not maintain your ice, but will melt back into the water bin. Overall, nice ice maker and highly recommend it. If you watch the price and get it on sale, you won't be disappointed in the value as well.

Makes ice quickly! Very easy to use. The scoop holder is a welcome addition so we dont have to take up more counter space or risk losing the scoop.

This was a replacement to my previous Insignia and this machine is little and mighty however seeing the control panel is sometimes hard to see under the cabinet and I wish the basket was slightly larger to hold more ice but so far happy with this small, pretty quiet machine.

It’s a noisy machine but it will make ice for a 2 person household faster than you can use it! It really churns it out. It’s perfect for a small bar area or in lieu of a built in ice maker in the refrigerator.

This ice maker is the perfect size for our RV. It’s even color coordinated. The price was right and it was east to obtain.
Tame Posted
So far so good. It works as intended. It makes ice quickly and I dump it into the freezer. It’s loud when the ice falls so we turn it off when we have enough ice in the freezer.
