Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: I was looking for an ice maker that had more than 2qt water capacity, and this fit the bill with it's easy-to-read 3qt capacity. It's actually a bit quicker to fill it's tray (see cons on tray capacity) compared to others I've owned. Easy to clean reservoir, with protruding intake allows any accidental solids to sink to the bottom without being sucked up by the pump. Neutral: Even though it is labelled as S & L sizes for the ice cubes, it's large size is more like a medium compared to others. Cons: The way ice sweeper and tray are design makes the ice cubes pile up on that side of the tray to the point that it causes the sensors to think the tray is full when it's actually at about 2/3 capacity. I was very disappointed with the thinness of the tray lid. There is nothing that provides some sort of insulation to the ice compartment. This makes it take noticeably longer time to produce ice when the surrounding temperature is high. I was expecting it to be either a little thicker or doubled layered. It lacks temperature control. Once the tray is full and it stops making ice, the existing ice start melting away immediately. Overall, the quicker output balanced enough the lack of thermal insulation and temperature control, that I didn't return it. It does, however, require constant monitoring.

Good ice maker very quiet great machine easy to use

This is a Bad A** little ice maker!! We bought one for my mom and one for the mother-in-law. We decided to try it out first and it is so easy to set up - just wipe it down and add water (we recommend filtered water). You can hear a fan running but it is a soft noise - my microwave is a lot louder if that gives you an idea of how quiet it really is. My husband and I were fascinated with it. We literally watched the metal rods go from wet with water to creating icicles then seeing the round cubes form. The cubes are roundish, about 1.5" long, an inch wide and a hole in the middle where they form on the metal rods. And yes, less than 10 minutes, we had 9 cubes of ice. (9 cubes because there are 9 metal rods on which they form). Once formed and solid, the tray tilts and dumps them into the basket, which holds about 40 or so cubes. Although it will store the cubes in the basket, we dumped them into a bucket in our freezer. If cubes remain in the basket, they will stay there waiting for you or they might start melting but they get recycled and will produce more ice. It does not take a lot of water either. It made so much ice - we made about 20 lbs. - then we just turned off the machine. No sense in running it when we had all we needed for now! It does say there are two ice cube sizes. We tried both sizes and there is really no noticeable difference. But who cares! It is quick, efficient, quiet, and durable. We now feel confident giving this as gifts to our 80-year-old mothers who need something simple and easy to use. And for the price? It is a great deal. Bravo Igloo for another terrific product!

This has been great for me to have ice quickly. The water in my area is very hard and I did not want to use an ice maker in my freezer that could get blocked up with minerals from the water. I prefer using purified water in this ice maker for drinking. Also, extra ice is placed in a cup in the freezer and ready to go when I want it. I wish it had a freezing option with the machine so the ice would stay cold during events when I need a large amount of ice but I still enjoy this product for myself.

This is a great ice machine. I filled it up with water and it made enough ice to fill a gallon size ziplock bag. After reading other reviews I decided to put the ice into the bag after each time it dumped a batch, instead of letting it sit and melt. The ice is soft enough to crunch if that is what you like to do. It makes some noise but isn’t too loud. It has a drain in the bottom of the machine to easily drain the old water out. I wish I had bought an ice machine long time ago.

Need to be patient and let it run through several cycles, so it can get really cold and the ice will have more density. Wish the unit would keep the ice frozen longer. One must move the new ice to the regular freezer, sooner than later or it's all for nothing.

This is an awesome product for immediate need or if you are putting into a larger storage but does not keep ice cold. Only lets it melt and then remakes.

Works great! Makes the ice really quick. Runs quietly as well.

This is a fantastic machine! Easy to operate and produces ice within minutes. In one hour I can produce 3-5 pounds of ice. Must use filtered water. Price was excellent. Very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this because I really needed an ice maker and my friend has the same model. This thing works like a champ right out of the box.

Makes small ice cubes but convenient when I need extra ice. So cool to watch how it makes the ice cubes. Please make sure you throw out the first few batches of ice as it they have a funny taste to them. After that, the ice cubes taste fine. Would recommend.

It’s a nice icemaker except for it only makes a little bit of ice at a time and the cubes stick together.

Makes ice quickly. Wish the container would hold more ice but then it does make me fill up more often.

Makes ice great. Problem is after the first use, the “basket full” sensor stopped working along with the light. At time of writing this I have owned it 5 months.

Thank god for this no more buying bags of ice.. i love it!

Awesome product. Just as described. Fast shipping.

We purchased the igloo 26- pound Portable countertop ice maker to back up our Samsung refrigerator and man this little machine put out enough ice that we have nothing but great thing to speak on this. My sister purchase the Igloo ice maker also.

DON"T BUY ! We bought this icemaker in April and it worked fine for a while and the pump that pumps the water to the icemaker part stopped working. We called Igloo and they sent us another ice maker. Its August 15 and the pump on the second one has stopped working just like the first one. We are t

Worked good for a few months then stopped working…does make good ice tho

I love it. It’s quick and a great value for the money. Not much difference in the size of the ice small/large.
