    Ice Luxury Without the Hassle

    This nugget ice maker has turned my kitchen into a mini drink bar. The first time I used it, I was skeptical that it could really make ice that quickly, but within ten minutes the bin was full of that soft, crunchy ice you only ever get at restaurants. Now I find myself using it constantly—morning iced coffee, afternoon sodas, even tossing a handful into my water bottle before heading to work. It keeps up effortlessly, making enough ice for the whole family and then some. What surprised me most was how quiet it is. It hums gently in the background, more like a white noise machine than an appliance. The design makes everything easy: the removable basket means no awkward scooping, and the pull-out tank keeps refilling from turning into a splashy mess. I hit the self-cleaning button once a week, and it does the rest while I go about my day. It’s rare for a kitchen gadget to feel this low-maintenance and this useful. Every time I hear it start up, I know there’s fresh nugget ice waiting—cold, chewable, and oddly satisfying every single time.

    Cool Ice maker

    Works really well keeps ice in the machine as long as you keep it running. I love the blue light If you have a large famiky or use a lot of ice you would need anothr bugger ice maker. Its good for individual use. I gave 4 stars for overall only because it has to keep running to keep ice in the machine. I would definitely buy again.

    Squeal Grind Melt… headache

    I wish I could give it a better rating, I truly do. This unit showed promise the first 2-3 days of use, it makes perfect crunchy little ice bits. But that is the only positive thing. First, the unit is not insulated so you have to constantly dump your ice into a larger bin and store in freezer. Otherwise it melts very fast and you’re left with more of a slush. Second and most impactful was the SHIPPER and SELLER from Best Buy marketplace (website) only has a 14 day return policy. Which is standard for some things, but 16 days into use and the machine started to make this very loud grinding and squealing sound. So I could not return the item…. It can only be operated for about 10-12 minutes before it begins it’s the issue, making it a worthless purchase. Don’t buy this machine, sure it’s an affordable option but just spend the money and get an insulted properly crafted machine.

    Issues

    We bought this ice maker and loved the size of the ice and how quickly it makes it. After about a month it kept making a squealing noise and we would have to unplug it for a while and plug it back in. Then it would start making it again. We returned to Best Buy and they replaced it. The new one works great and I have not had any issues.

Questions & Answers

  • How loud is it when it’s running

    It is a light buzzing noise, like your AC or fan. You can hear it, but it is not nearly as loud as my last one.

  • Does thus self clean? To avoid mold?

    It is self-cleaning

    Answered by celia
  • Does this need to be connected to a water line

    No it’s a freestanding ice maker that gets filled by pouring for a picture or large cup into a water tank that is in it above the ice.

  • Is this covered under the best buy warrenty that I purchase every year?

    One-year warranty

    Answered by celia
  • I just purchased this ice maker. I followed the directions for cleaning, etc. Is it normal for it to be very loud? I wasn't expecting the machine to be so loud. When I turn off ice making, all my ice ends up melting so I feel the need to keep it running.

    This variety of ice makers are known for being kinda loud. That being said I have one of these in my TV room and I use a soundbar and can hear the TV fine with the ice maker running.
