A very nice surprise present that was well received. Perfect color match being in red instead of plain black. Works well for making extra smaller ice better for drinks than typical automatic fridge/freezer dispensers that make the large sharp boat shaped ice. And a lot faster too.

This might not be an essential kitchen appliance to have, but I’m someone who loves ice with my drinks. This ice machine produces cool looking ice which is exactly the size I like with my drinks. It’s the easiest machine to use and it makes ice in just a few minutes. No more filling up ice trays and walking steady to the freezer with chunky ice that pushes my beverage out of my mouth and causes me to drop a little on my shirt. Would definitely recommend if you are an ice lover like me.

The unit has push button controls and an LED display, and alerts to let you know when the ice collector is full or water is low. It's fairly big and bulky—not massive to the point where a fridge with an ice maker is a better option, but if you have a small kitchen, this machine may need a designated space other than your countertop.

I puchased the first unit and followed the set up directions to the manufacturers specifics. The unit did not work new out of the box. I returned the first unit and the second unit did not work out of the box! I contacted the companies customer care about the problem and they did not seem to care about there new product being defective out of the box. Both units returned not working. Good luck good bye thank goodness i brought them back to Best Buy for a full refund before i had to deal with Frigdaire

We got it for my wife and man it's a lot bigger than i expected! When it makes the ice, however, expect to be getting up and take the ice out periodically because the ice basket isn't as big as the machine lol. I do like that you can pick from smaller pieces to larger pieces of ice. It's as basic as it can get! Super easy to use.

Makes ice great. Is a bit noisy. We have had it for about a yesr now.. it has been showing errors or no water, when it is full of water. I have cleaned it well 3 times. It still gets the error. It will also say the ice bin is full when it is not. These errors began about 3 months ago. So... I will now use my 4 yr extended plan to get it fixed or exchange it. Be aware it is not a horrible ice maker. I really like it. It has just developed a few small issues, but I reset it and it will still make ice. It just stops often.

i there, valued customer! We're sad to hear that your refrigerator didn't perform as expected. Ice Maker not dispensing enough ice might be because of low usage or a frozen auger. Kindly switch the control panel to CRUSHED and remove the ice bucket. Next, press down on the dispenser paddle for 2-minute intervals (releasing the paddle and then pressing it again) for a total of 3 times (6 minutes total). This will melt and evaporate any ice around the auger motor shaft. After that, switch the Control Panel to CUBE and insert the ice bucket, close the door, and attempt to dispense ice again. If the issue still persists, please contact us at 1-800-374-4432. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, we'll be happy to assist. - Jessica

The machine I have drops new ice every 10 minutes. Large enough water basin. The ice basket within the machine holds quite a lot of new ice before it has to be emptied. Some reviews I read before I purchased my machine was that it is loud. Yes, the fan can be heard while it is in the process of actually making the ice. Then you can hear when the fan stops while it dumps the new ice, then cycles back on. For me, that is ideal. For when I do not hear that click and restart, I to go look to see if the ice bin is full. The one drawback I have is, because the inside of the machine is not cooled in any way, the ice is wet as it sits in the basket. Once that wet ice goes into the ice bin in the freezer, they tend to freeze together. I give it a few minutes in the freezers for the freezing air to "dry" the ice, then give it a stir to separate the cubes. Other than that one drawback, I love my machine. I have medical issues with my hands. Using old ice trays meant I had lots of trouble twisting trays to break the ice free. I no longer have that issue.

Late review, had this for a year or two now, but I really love this thing. The fact i can make ice from spring water, juice, or virtually any liquid is crazy. Now, maintenance is annoying, but very simple with how it's setup. Drain it via the plugged hole under the machine, over a sink (recommended not to flip the machine upside down!), And let it make a few batches of ice before use. The first batches are very small, but once u have a good size, make sure to put the ice in the freezer for extra cooling! Yes, you should always make the ice ahead of time and freeze it, not for when u need it immediately.

I absolutely love this ice maker. It makes the good nugget ice, in two different sizes. We have a plain fridge that does not have ice/water dispensers so we wanted to get something. Refilling the reservoir once every few days is much easier than remembering to fill ice cube trays every day. I keep it running all day, and the ice melts if it sits in the bin for too long. Overall, the ice holds for a while before it starts melting. Very convenient and we definitely got our money's worth.

So far, so good. Bought this almost a year ago, still going strong. Use it every day, since the icemaker in my fridge never worked. Starts out slow, but steadily makes nice-sized ice cubes (I use the "large" setting) until it runs out of water, then turns itself off. They just need to update the NAME of this particular item--you're getting the RED one in the picture, not the BLACK one in the product name (the black one is actually cheaper, but it wasn't available when I needed it). Highly recommended!

Initially, I bought this because I was tired of our icemaker inside the freezer always being empty, and not able to keep up - so, I was having to supplement with bags of ice from the store, which just makes a big mess and eats up freezer space. We basically have switched over to using this as our primary icemaker, and don't use the built-in one at all. It keeps up with a family of 4 with no problem. 2 of which are ice-chewers. Some of the comments I read before purchasing stated that the machine is loud. I don't find that to be the case, but my 5 year is pretty loud, so maybe everyone's level of what is considered to be "loud" varies lol

This unit works quite well overall. It's easy to operate and it seems to be quality built. It does take a while to produce a full basket of ice though. To fill the (rather small) ice tray in the unit, it takes about 80 minutes. As long as it stays reliable, that's what counts to me.

Hi CraigM, we are happy to hear you are finding your Frigidaire - 11.7" 26-Lb. Freestanding Icemaker useful. 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
