    I've had this about a month and am very pleased. I primarily use ice for daily water, iced tea, and iced coffee when I work from home, but hate the ice that my fridge automated icemaker makes; hate messing with plastic trays; and love the "store ice" but the bags take up too much room in my freezer. This compact machine meets my personal needs very well. I usually keep about 1 pounds of ice in a silicone storage bag in freezer. But I've also kept it permanently "on" for a couple of days, and it is pretty quiet, except when the ice drops into the reservoir. For purposes of keeping cold drinks cold, for 1-2 people, it's great. The ice isn't as hard or as big as normal cubes, but that's OK by me. I just love having a standard supply while still having lots of ice in my freezer. Very happy, and hope the machine proves to be reliable and long-lasting as time goes on.

    We have used it 24/7 for the last month with no problem. Saves me from running to get ice and pops. Use it on countertop. Noise is moderate. Mechanism is interesting to watch. Doesn't store ice more than 12 hours. Per what I researched. Easy to empty and refill.

    I didn’t have high expectations for this but honestly we absolutely love it. Makes plenty of ice for daily use, isn’t loud and works exactly as expected. The only thing I don’t love is that the inside has kind of a weird smell. The ice doesn’t taste weird or anything so it’s fine. As a renter with no ice maker this is a small luxury that goes a long way for a reasonable price.

    It produces fairly good ice, in a fairly short amount of time. The issues it has are that it’s hard to clean (so it gets that plasticky wet smell if you don’t drain it immediately), and the ice doesn’t stay super cold once it gets dumped into the basket. If you transfer it to the freezer while it’s half melted, it all freezes back together. If you can handle all that, you’ll probably be satisfied with it.

    This is super quiet and makes small and larger ice. We love this machine as it remakes our ice constantly by adding just a bit of clean water.

    If you’re debating, GET IT. I was so happy with this ice maker, it’s not very loud and you have the choice of small or large cubes. Doesn’t take up a ton of counter space and it’s very quick. We have an ice bin in the freezer and we turn this on to fill it up and then I unplug and keep her off in the meantime. I love ice so this was a game changer for me!

    Our refrigerator's ice maker can't keep up when ever we have company. So we bought this ice maker. It makes 9 cubes abut every 8 minutes or so. I found it works even better when I add cold water to the reservoir. When the tray gets filled we dump that in a bag and throw it in the freezer. P.S. It is also fun to watch.

    This is a perfect choice for us. This Ice Maker has fit the bill for us. Has been a beautiful replacement since our frig was a dud. Ice size is great. Really puts out well. Not noisy! Our frig had real issues making ice. We decided not to repair the frig.

    Well, first of all Best Buy sent us the wrong one and I didn't notice it until I was trying to find instructions on how to clean it. Ours is some ancient version of this and has no option to clean it. I'm not pleased about that. But, the product itself is great. We run it every day and have ice all day. I really like having it and it runs like a champ, so I'm going to give it 5 stars, but it isn't the same model.

    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!
