Happier with this one v. GE opal junker
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't seen how it holds up past a year so giving it a 4. Our GE opal lasted barely over a year & was a piece of junk! We are much happier with the Insignia. Bonus being cheaper & on sale when we bought this 3+ months ago. Kept the side tank from the GE opal to hook up to this one but have found we really don't need it. There's still about half of the ice that hasn't melted overnight when I turn it back on in the mornings. It's making ice again within 10 or so minutes! Very happy with this nugget icemaker!

This Ice Maker Rocks or At Least Nuggets
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ice maker is great. My girls and I love it and it is fun to use. It could have some enhanced features like a water input funnel, because it drips a bit when you take the basket out to put in new water. It’s got a pretty blue night light and makes bite sized nuggets. It’s a little noisy, like making popcorn very slowly, but not to distracting. Takes about 10-12 minutes for a full tray. The ice scoop and water tray are nice additions. Serves its purpose well. Recommended.

Was ok then wasn't
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought one 9 months ago and loved it. Cleaned it regularly. Then last week notice black plastic in with ice. The part that makes the shape of the ice had broke and started coming threw in chunks and even powder form that you couldn't see unless you took tray out and looked in water settle in the bottom.

Good Ice Maker . Great Ice....
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this unit as an upgrade to the entry level insignia one witch fail in less than a year. This ice maker is overpriced but it is more economical then its competition. It's make good ice fast and in nuggets similar to sonic ice witch is for my kids who love it which to be honest that's the only great thing about it. I need this in my home but for the full retail price it wouldn't be with it for me.

Nugget Ice
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought as a gift for my 25YO daughter and she absolutely loves it. She states she no longer goes to Sonic to buy her drinks. Overall the machine was easy to set-up and definitely easy to use. The machine is average size and doesn’t overwhelm her limited counter space but has a large enough tank to keep plenty of ice on hand.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes this machine keep the ice frozen all day (or until you use it)?
Asked by pat1732.
- A:Answer Yes. As long as the machine is on it holds the ice. As you use Ice it will make more as long as the water tank is full. It's is loud and if you turn it off it does melt but goes back into the tank.

Q: QuestionDo you have to fill up a tank or can you connect it to a water line?
Asked by JustinS.
- A:Answer They don't sell one with the unit, but you can attach an external tank to the lower drain line and it keeps the internal tank full. Eliminates hassle of removing the ice drawer constantly to fill the reservoir. This will work with a gravity fed tank only. Any pressurized water line would overflow the internal tank. I kept the external tank from my broken Opal and attached it to the Lower reservoir drain line. Works like a charm!

Q: QuestionHas anyone else noticed their ice having an offputting flavor? Coming from an opal ice maker that died after 5 years and this ice definitely tastes funny in comparision. Yes we cleaned it before we started using it.

Q: QuestionCan I "sneak a scoop" of ice without turning the machine off, like certain coffee makers can quickly sneak a cup?
Asked by mathematicamama.
- A:Answer Yes you can! Any ice that’s being made just drops into the bottom of the ice maker in the water.

Q: QuestionWe run the cleaning cycle every three days, yet, it is not producing much. Overnight, it is barely half full where it used to have a full compartment
Asked by Hugh.
- A:Answer Hi Hugh! Thank you for you reaching out. We understand how frustrating it is to still experience issues with ice production after three days of cleaning the product. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. Based on our resources, the problem might be due to high room or water temperature, a possible refrigerant leak or a blockage in the cooling system pipes. To fully resolve this, please feel free to contact our Insignia Customer Service at 877-467-4289. - Dalainne | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-portable-nugget-ice-maker-with-auto-shut-off-stainless-steel/6524771.p?skuId=6524771
