Customers are delighted by the 9.5" 26-Lb. Portable Icemaker, particularly its impressive ice production and overall performance. Users appreciate its ease of use and relatively quiet operation, only noting some noise when ice is dispensed. The option for different ice cube sizes is also a welcome feature.

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 maker is the perfect compact size and produces ice cubes really quickly. It is not very loud which is a plus.

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.

MAKES ICE FAST ONLY FLAW IS DOESNT KEEP THE ICE COLD ENOUGH IT AFTER ITS MADE IT, MAKES "WET" ICE BUT OTHER THEN THAT THE ICE IS SOLID IT DOES MAKE A BUCKET PRETTY FAST I JUST STORE THE "WET" ICE IN A GALLON ZIP LOCK BAG AND SOTRE IN THE DEEP FREEZER AND WHEN I NEED ICE I JUST DROP THE ZIP LOCK BAG FILLED WITH ICE ON FLOOR TO BREAK UP THE ICE ONCE ITS DRIED OUT ..IF I HAD TO BUY AGAIN I WOULD AND ID RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND THE PROS OUT WEIGH THE CONS....ITS WORTH IT FOR THE SMALL INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO STORE THE ICE IN A DEEP FREEZER AFTER ITS MADE

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.

We are very pleased with this ice maker... I bought it to help supplement the lack of ice production of my fridge's ice maker that is currently not working (Samsung, less than 2 years old - Google it and you will understand!) and the need of my wife to chew ice! The machine is easy to set up, relatively quiet and does the job....

Worked great until it didn’t
Needs to be cleaned regularly
Don't bother buying extended warranty, what was in place upon purchase isn't in fact what is the definition or word of BB when there product breaks down. They lie to & make it impossible for handicap people

I expected it to take much longer and for the quality of ice to be much lower, but it works exceptionally well, produces bullet ice with that perfect crunchy quality, and makes the ice so fast that by the time I'm finished one iced coffee, I can make a second!

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.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE TO EAT ICE AND THIS WAS THE BEST INVESTMENT, ESPECIALLY FOR APARTMENT LIVING. I LOVE THE FREEDOM OF ALWAYS HAVING ICE AVAILABLE AND NOT HAVING TO CONSTANTLY FILL CONTAINERS AND PUT THEM IN THE FREEZER. IT HAS A SMALL AND LARGE OPTION AND IT LETS YOU KNOW WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS LOW. PERFECT ICE CUBES AND THEY ARE NOT TOO HARD EITHER :)

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.

Our ice maker in our refrigerator stopped working, so we needed a lower cost alternative for ice. We purchased this ice maker to supplement, and have been really pleased! There are 3 different sizes of ice to choose from, and it makes a batch fairly quickly. Water does need to be added frequently to make the ice, but it is easy to fill and makes several batches. We love it!! Great product!
