Works great makes lots of bullet ice, 2 sizes to choose from. The basket and scooper are cute and handy. It made enough ice in a few hours to fill our freezer ice holder. The only noise we hear if the house is quiet is when the ice is falling into the basket. The first few times our dog kept tilting his head, but got used to it soon enough. We eat the ice out of a cup or put a few in our dogs water, I drink ice water daily and we definitely fill my granddaughters Stanley cup with ice every morning for school. The bullets are perfect size for us. Its so nice to not have to hassle with ice cube trays or wonder when our fridge ice maker feels like working. This ice maker fits perfect on our counter, looks great, easy to wipe off and clean. I would definitely buy again, or as a gift and I do and would recommend this product.

This is the best addition to my small appliances! My freezer ice maker died in 12 months a day after the warranty from buying it new. The cost to have to have it repaired was an absurd amount. So I added this jewel and have had no issue and wonderful ice when I want. Thank
you

So far so good. This works perfectly for our bar that doesn’t have an under-counter ice maker. When we have friends or family over, we turn it on when they arrive and we have ice in about 10 mins! Two sizes is nice as well, depending on the drinks being served. As long as you keep it clean, simply turn it off at the end of the night, the remaining ice melts into the supply basin, then you just turn it back on the next time you need ice. Definitely worth the $.

We have a larger ice maker in our family room so we decided to buy a smaller one for our RV. This ice maker is the perfect size and not as heavy as the larger ones. It works really well and produces enough ice for the RV. No more trips to camp store to buy bags of ice.

It's very compact so EZ to use just add water and the machine does everything else. Like 15 minutes I already had ice and after that it was like every 10 minutes I get a batch of 8 to 9 cubes. Very ez to clean and drain out the water once u done use it. My advice keep the lid open over night once not in use and water is clean out leaving the lid close built-up bacteria and your ice maker will stink up.

I purchased This item as a gift for my daughter she absolutely loves it. I have one as well and when she saw it she fell in love. We purchase this as a home warming present and it has been in use since it was purchased. The ice cubes are small and softer bullet shaped and perfect for drinks. This icemaker can be used at parties as long as you start making the Eyes part of the party start you will have enough ice to get you through. It’s also a plus that this icemaker for Frigidaire does not require a waterline to be hooked directly to it because the water is filled in a reservoir and recycle through any melted ice will just be recycled into your next batch of ice cubes. I love the fact that this icemaker does have an indicator light that let you know when the ice bucket is full or when the water reservoir needs to be filled. These were all factors in my daughter really loving this icemaker I would highly recommend it for you ice chewers out there this is amazing.
For a relatively small price you can illuminate the need to buy store-bought ice it’s saved me money so far and my daughter as well.

I use this ice maker almost daily as my family and I consume much ice . It works as intended and makes ice pretty fast. They melt kind of fast but as it makes them quickly it is no issue. Good little product. size is maybe like keurig size.

Received Ice Maker March 30th, was extremely busy at work so didn't open until April 23rd (my first day off in over 4 months). Unboxed and setup the ice maker it is EXTREMELY LOUD, I've had other ice makers and none have been as close to as LOUD as this one is, something is obliviously wrong with it (D.O.A.), it sounds like the compressor is going to rattle right out of the unit. Thought maybe it needs to be broke in so left it running for a little over an hour never stopped making LOUD noises. Next day gave it another try still EXTREMELY LOUD compressor rattling and heard an extremely loud POP, it tripped the GFCI outlet in my Kitchen, burn down the house over an ice maker no thanks........looked up Best Buy's return policy....15 days......wow thanks Best Buy and Frigidaire..........out $150.00......not impressed. Will think long and hard before I buy another product from either.
