Frigidaire Black 40 lb Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The design and look are great! It is very sleek and appealing to look at. It fits into my kitchen design perfectly. The only complaints I have is that the ice cubes themselves don't break apart. The full tray is dropped into the ice bucket and I have to manually break up the ice. Also, the ice maker will randomly not make ice. I just bought this ice maker, so I don't know if it is faulty or if this is something that this ice maker does. I do know that the ice "recycles" and there is a period that the ice all melts and is recirculated. But it doesn't seem to go back into the proper cycle afterwards.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Ice size

Glad I chose the square ice cubes
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are cheaper "bullet-style" ice cube machines, but I'm glad I chose the extra to get the clear, square ice cube style. I suspect most of this style are produced by the same manufacturer, but that's just a guess. The only caveat I would mention is that a friend mentions that his ice maker consumes a lot of electricity. I don't pay for electricity, so I wouldn't know, but it's something to consider before purchase. Additional notes are that cleaning is relatively simple, the drain plug location is convenient, and it's fairly quiet in operation.

Worth the price. Refrigerator option still best.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Effective and dependable machine. Pros- it makes a decent amount of ice, quickly. It is quieter than other models I have owned and it seems to keep cold longer. Cons- the ice comes out in sheets that are difficult to break apart. The machine will shut itself off when not used for a long period of time or when out of water. Then, all of the prepared ice melts.

Good, but....
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very convenient to make ice at home...and this sure puts it out. Looks great and does not take up as much space as I expected. My only issue is that my ice is not clear as advertised. This may because I use well water and have not tried filtered, spring or distilled water.

Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sort of loud when running. Mold grew to quick. Hard to clean. 3 stars because the ice was ready quickly.

Great machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine keeps up with our family of seven!! It is fast making cubes. The only SLIGHT complaint is that it has to sit near the edge of the counter because of the water reservoir and the lid. The ice comes out in clear cubes in small sheets that can be broken up fairly easily. We leave ours running all the time and need to fill with water only once a day. If you use a lot of ice, this 40 lb ice maker is a good machine to check out. Our family has worn out one 26 lb ice maker every year so this time I also invested in the warranty.

Fast and relatively clear cubes
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes ice well, in sheets, that sometimes fall and break apart. Sometimes not. Never completely. Have an ice cracker/breaker nearby to help break up the sheets so you can fill glasses with cubes, not little blocks. Machine is a bit noisy, definitely not quiet.

Ice vs "Ice"
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were very excited to finally purchase an ice machine, but this ice machine has left us rather unsatisfied. We have used it three times at this point. The first time, the ice was not solid. The second time, ice was made pretty well. The third time, it seemed like we were back to our first time of making ice (I literally had to take the "ice" from the machine as the machine "pumped it out" and place it in a ZipLoc bag and then immediately put the bag into the freezer to make the ice actually freeze). We do not regret buying this machine, but we also are not fully satisfied as it seems to be a bit more work than we had anticipated.

Posted .Hello RossM, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Frigidaire - 11.3" 40-Lb. Freestanding Icemaker . We pride ourselves on our high-quality standards and regret that our product did not live up to your expectations.
To make firmer/larger/drier ice, use colder water. Tip, let the first couple of batches of ice fall into the water reservoir to chill the water.

So far, so good!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third, counter top style ice maker and I love it. I formally had the bullet type ice and was satisfied, but the ice this makes is so much better and lasts longer in a drink. You do need to break up the cubes. Going to get a little ice pick so I don’t break the plastic scooper. Now I just hope it lasts.

Posted .Hello ThomasS, we are glad to hear you are pleased with your Frigidaire - 11.3" 40-Lb. Freestanding Icemaker.
You are correct, the ice storage area is not refrigerated. It is intended that ice produced be periodically transferred for zipperlock bags for storage in a conventional freezer.

Is ok.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is ok. It makes ice but then the water can just sit there pending pressing the power button again. A bit annoying but ok.
