    This worked fine until a few days ago, almost exactly a year after I'd purchased it, at which point it stopped working entirely. I generally don't think of ice machines as annual purchases.

    It was working quite well for a while. Then the sensor to stop the pump when the water was too low broke so now it runs all the time. And it's running rougher and rougher.

    It seemed good at first, but believe all of the reviews when they say it noisy. The fan motor is too loud and because it runs a lot, you'll hear it all of the time. Ice drops are loud too but that's expected. There are others that cost less and run much quieter. Took it back for a refund.

    Yes, it makes ice, but I wanted to keep the cubes in my freezer for future use. Tired of refilling trays. However if you transfer the cubes to the freezer they freeze into one large clump. Not good. So, back to the trays.

      I'm disappointed to hear that the Insignia Portable Ice Maker with Auto Shut-Off is not meeting your expectations. Two years is a relatively short lifespan for a product, and I can understand why you're frustrated. The fact that you've had to rely on Geek Squad service to get it fixed multiple times is also concerning. At Insignia, we strive to provide reliable and long-lasting products, and it's clear that this one has fallen short of that standard. I'd like to apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and offer my assistance in finding a more reliable solution for your ice making needs.
