    Dead after a year

    Broke after little over a year of service. The motor that pushes the ice into the tray gave out. Up until then, it did a serviceable job. If you live in a smaller place, take into consideration the noise it makes when the ice drops, its fairly loud. If you are in a warmer climate the cubes may melt faster as they sit in the bin.

    Not great. It works as described, but the insulation is poor and ice melts extremely quickly. I returned this product.

    I bought one and it lasted just under a year and Best Buy replaced it. The second one last just over a year before it also stopped working. I like them while they worked but after two of them with the same freeze problem. I will prob stay away from Best Buy's brand and pay more

    Purchased December 13th. This ice machine is LOUD! When the pump is going you cannot hear yourself think. Going to attempt to exchange it in case it is just this unit. If another is just as loud, I will update my review.

    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.

    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!

    I bought this in spfld Illinois and the salesman was clueless- I ended up later investing in the more expensive ice maker that I should’ve bought to begin with- this machine ice melts doesn’t keep it cold at all and causes bad mold to build up- I cleaned the ice maker out several times it was the worst investments and I will always go with what I know next time not what a salesman tries to get me to buy

    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

      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.

    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.
