    I've been buying bagged ice for 15 years. Why didn't I get this sooner????? My home came with a perfectly working refrigerator, freezer--just the icemaker didn't work. Tried to make myself fill ice trays up, I just wasn't consistent; there really wasn't enough room for them. Our new ice maker is PERFECT for my famioy of three. great size cubes (actually tubes) great for crunching and cooling our drinks. works just like is described. Recommend.

    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.

    Our refrigerator icemaker kicked the bucket. This was a more economical fix. I love the ice this machine makes and it is super fast.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I found this to be a good item I purchased. The only issue is the small cubes are way to small, kept falling thru the basket, but the large are a perfect size. It does not take long to make ice to fill a gallon bag. Also a little large for my counter, but other than that I found it to be really good. When friends come over they all have asked about the machine. I say what it is, and all want to buy one soon.! I even show them the ice I make.

      Hello CrapProduct, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Frigidaire 26-Lb Compact Ice Maker. We pride ourselves on our high quality standards and regret that our product did not live up to your expectations.
      To make larger/firmer/drier ice use colder water.
      TIP - let the first couple of batches of ice produced fall into the water reservoir to chill the water. CurtisInt
