    Reasonably Priced Ice Maker That Does The Job

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

    As always, BestBuy House Brand Insignia offers affordable product alternatives to the much higher priced ones from the known brands. We recently got this Insignia portable ice maker at a very good price. After six weeks of using it at least twice a week, it seems to be doing its job. Only time will tell if it would last. Performance-wise, it is a bit slow. A minor annoyance is that the device often does not completely dump the newly-made ice onto the receiving tray. This fools the sensors into thinking that the tray is already full, thus pausing the production of new ice. We would have to visually check the tray every few minutes and manually scatter the ice to have them fully settle on the tray. The unit would then start producing ice again.

      Hi there! Thanks for the detailed review! It’s great to hear it’s doing the job, even with a few quirks. Your insights on the sensor and ice tray are super helpful for others considering it.

    I returned this icemaker. The cubes it makes melt quickly, and you just never have much ice. I don't want to say it's not good because it did work fine, however it was not acceptable for my use. I would like a better ice maker that will make more ice and not allow the ice it makes to melt so quickly.

    This icemaker makes ice surprisingly fast. It’s chewy right out of the machine and freezes well. After buying this icemaker, I’m glad I didn’t buy the $500 one. This is all you need. This is in my office so when I go to work I can turn it on and have ice all day.

    I like the ice maker, never had one before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The ice will not stay cold once it is made, need to use it or move it to freezer or cooler, typical for portable ice maker. I store the extra ice in freezer bag, it up a little after you first add to freezer and it will stay that way until you need it. I bought it when it was a Deal of the Day however about a month later it was a Deal of the Day again for much lower price and I found that frustrating. Outside of refund/price adjustment window because I don’t have a Plus membership.

    I absolutely love this product I needed an ice maker for my apartment just enough to be able to make a glass of iced tea maybe make a nice coffee a smoothie or blended drink but it's just so nice to have it sitting on the countertop and readily available. I love the cherry red finish which adds to the kitchen and style of my galley kitchen anyways.

    Besides loving this ice maker I had a great experience with the sales rep at Best Buy. He spent a good 30 mins with me locating exactly what I wanted including a new monitor. He also spent some time with me deciding on a Air Fryer. They were out of the one I wanted but he was willing to look around at nearby stores to help me. Great experience Best Buy!
