Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the 9.5" 26-Lb. Portable Icemaker, particularly its impressive ice production and overall performance. Users appreciate its ease of use and relatively quiet operation, only noting some noise when ice is dispensed. The option for different ice cube sizes is also a welcome feature.

    We wanted a counter top ice maker to use in our downstairs bar area. I only wish it kept the ice frozen as opposed to the ice melting and then recycling the water to make more ice cubes. All in all, we really like it.

    It does make some noise, but no more that other appliances which are constantly in use. It does seem to run more when the water level gets low, but hasn't reached the low level trigger point I like the size of the cubes, and find myself grabbing a few to wet my mouth, which is very convenient, in my opinion. It might be improved by somehow keeping the ice bin a little more refrigerated, but that would bulk, or require it to be larger, which would take up more cabinet space, so maybe not. As with any product one can always find fault with something, but I am fairly well pleased with what it does, and if I wanted to catch the ice to put into the freezer, I could easily do so, but I would put into bags to better facilitate breaking it up, instead of a storage bin. In short, I like it for what it is/does, and wish I'd bought one years ago. If you are looking for something for relatively small, but adequate volume, it is worth the price. If you are looking for high volume consumption, then opt for a more commercial machine.

    We had had another brand of ice maker and it had died after going out of warranty. We bought another and it only lasted a month, so we decided to change brands and went with this Frigidaire. So far it is working great and seems make ice quicker than our last brand. It was an easy setup and I had it going in a few minutes after taking it out of the box.

    After our ice maker went out in our fridge, I bought this countertop ice maker instead of spending $300 on the replacement part for the fridge. No complaints and I love having fresh ice!

    Good Home Bar Ice Machine

    I start the machine about 2 hrs before we have a party down in the wet bar and use it to fill up the ice bucket ahead of time. It only takes about 6-8 minutes to make enough ice for one drink so it keeps us in ice all night. It makes an interesting thimble shaped ice cube that does melt fairly quickly so it's perfect for straight bourbon and watering down stiff drinks to which you would otherwise add water. If you're looking for a large dense ice cube like a freezer would make, it would take quite a bit longer, and this machine wouldn't be for you. It's nice not having to run upstairs to get ice from the refrigerator's ice machine. Overall, it's a handy little gadget, since it is fairly portable.

    I bought this as a gift for my grandparents because they have used ice trays for as long as I can remember. They use it daily now. It is such a great help and peace of mind for me. I love the compact size and the output is perfect for daily use or for long term storing of ice.

    This ice machine is pretty quiet compared to previous ones. The red color has a nice brushed look to it. The plastic pieces (basket and scoop) are made of a gentler plastic material so as along as you handle it with care, it shouldn’t be a problem.

    I was very hesitant on making this purchase, But i'm glad that I did. Pretty quiet, I guess the speed of making ice It's pretty standard, My only downfall is it takes all day to make one gallon feeezer bag Of ice

    Works great and it is amazingly fast at making ice. But however overtime it needs more and more cleaning due to residue buildup on the inside. Even if you use nothing but filtered water. But works great

    Well built, makes ice quickly, but for my personal use, not what i expected, the description of the size should be small and smaller, great machine for mixed drinks..I drink "iced cold beer" Spring, Summer and Fall. Only on days that end in Y. I will continue with bag ice for my Yeti cooler.
