    Cubes are so tiny and takes forever to make. The speed is understood but the size of the cubes are way too small even when choosing Large.

      Hello Tweeds,

      I want to take the time to thank you providing us with your feedback, I want to assure you that your opinion is valued. I can only imagine how frustrating it can be to have this ice maker only make tiny cubes . I do recommend that you contact us at Insignia so that we can determine the resolution.

    I was really excited about the Insignia Portable Ice Maker. I had been researching for a month about the different machines. I thought with the reviews that this would be a great ice machine. Even though it was a brand new units, it never made ice. I waited 2 days before I plugged it in so that the unit was upright after shipping but it kept just running water. Sadly, I had to return it and still searching for a decent machine

    After using this ice maker for 5 months it worked well up until last night . So after a few batches i noticed a puddle of water on the floor and underneath the ice maker. i checked the drain on the bottom and it is dry so the leak must be from somewhere else in the unit. i t only leaks when it is making ice.

    Not even 3 months. This ice Maker did not last even 3 months. The motor runs, cycles the water and and goes through the rest of the motions, but the coils do not get cold, and it does not make ice cubes. If you do end up buying this, be sure to purchase the extended warranty because Bestbuy will just tell you "Tough Luck."

    This is a great product! The price is unbeatable and the color choices were perfect. It's quiet, compact and quick. The only thing I wish was the ice didn't start to melt so quickly.I would have given a 5 out of 5 otherwise! I recommend this product!

    Bad design - constantly running

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bad product - it makes no sense since you always have half melted ice. There is no compartment to keep the ice cold so the ice keeps melting and then new ice is put on top of it. Then since it’s half melted it combines into a big ball of ice instead of individual cubes.

    Defective, will leak along the bottom edge. Do not buy. When asking for help, I am switched from department to department with no help. Constantly given the same 1800 number that leads to know where. I am told to bring it to the local bust buy… But mine closed years ago, they refused to help any further.

    This brand and model has not worked out for me! In 1 years time I currently have to return another one and this will be #4. The first 3 started leaking really bad after a few months. The 4th one is not making ice at all now. It keeps saying add water when its already at the max level. The water doesnt move up into rhe tray to make the ice.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This thing makes 9 ice cubes. And the machine isn’t a freezer, so if you don’t remove them after they are made they melt right back into the water tray and then they all stick together into one bulky ice cube mess. Would not recommend unless you have 5 hours to spend in the kitchen watching the machine.
