I purchased this ice maker because my freezer does not have one. It makes small and larger ice cubes quick(usually within 10-15 min). It's easy to use and takes up little counterspace.

Love this machine! I use my fridge ice maker when it is just us but when I have a party, I power this thing up and it makes a TON of ice. I set it to large because the small size are like pellets. The large size are identical to going to a restaurant. Takes about 7-8 minutes to make 8 ice cubes. So it makes a lot if you turn it on the night before. I filled my cooler with it for a party of 35 people. Why I gave it 4 stars, because the basket is small and I wish it did some type of sound when the basket filled up so I needed to keep checking it to dump it in the cooler.

Negative - a little loud. No big deal, this is a solid ice maker. If you're entertaining this ice make will be the highlight of the party. Great price and great value.

Really great value for the price. Easy to get started and makes ice quickly. Would benefit from a larger ice bin and a third (larger) size of ice.

Great tabletop ice maker. Makes a tray of cubes in around 7 minutes. Great to have at parties and when your regular ice maker can’t keep with the busy family.

Neat idea that has some flaws. Ice, it produce are small and has a hole in the middle. So it melts pretty quick. It makes ice pretty quick and it has unique design so it continually makes ice with melted water from ice in the ice chamber. It's bit noisy as well. Quick and easy solution if you need ice in small place, but I wouldn't recommended it as permanent fixture in the kitchen.

This is a great overall ice maker if you don't have one in your refrigerator's freezer. It makes ice relatively quickly, which I needed after having knee surgery. The only down-sides are that the ice will start to melt if you don't use it and let it accumulate after about 5 hours of running. My ice maker has never gotten as full as what is shown in the photo. Also heads up that the water is filled halfway in the tank and the components are in the back. So the ice compartment is the upper left quadrant.

This replaced the ice maker that broke in the fridge. So far doing a good job, looks nice sitting on the counter. I'd purchase it again since I bought it on sale (deal of the day).
Longevity is yet to be determined, these kinds of ice machines don't tend to last very long. I've found that to be consistent across all brands. They're not made to be used every single day for long periods of time. I'll be satisfied if I get 3 years out of it.

Ice making workhorse

... after checking around for a replacement for my defunct automatic icemaker, $300+ for my refigerator/ freezer, the ubiquitous Best Buy weekly ad popped into my in box. Surprise! An Insignia™ - 26-Lb. Portable Ice Maker was on sale. This counter top wonder is an ice making workhorse. No more schlepping to the supermarket to buy two 7 pound bags of ice @ $2 a bag every other day. This has been a terrific replacement for my Whirlpool ice maker at a great price. Highly recommended.
