    After a month of use I’m impressed. I purchased this ice maker because my refrigerator ice maker went out. It fits perfectly on my small counter. Ice production is fast. The sound is comparable to a small fan. It feel great to have ice again.

    I've researched many an ice maker, and this one seemed the best. I was buying ice bags because the one in the fridge is no longer working right. This ice maker did not disappoint. The ice comes out quick. The ice basket makes it easy to dump your new ice into your drinks ,or save in a Ziploc freezer bag for later. The design of the scoop holder is a nice touch. If you forget to refill the water, it will remind you. Auto shut-off when the basket is full. Just keep in mind that it will not maintain your ice, but will melt back into the water bin. Overall, nice ice maker and highly recommend it. If you watch the price and get it on sale, you won't be disappointed in the value as well.

    I'm really impressed by this small icemaker. For the size, it does an adequate job in making ice. There was little to do to set it up; just remove packing material and tape. Instructions were straight-forward. It makes about ten ice cubes each cycle, so don't expect lots of ice in a short time. There are only two people in my household, so this works just fine for us. If you leave the ice in, it will melt and the water goes back into the reservoir. I place the ice in a freezer safe bowl and put it in my freezer.

    Does the job well. Makes ice quickly, recycles the melted ice back into new cubes and has a small footprint. It can be a bit loud when the fans kick on and when the ice is made but overall that shouldnt stop you from purchasing.

    Makes ice quickly, runs quietly, and has a modern design. The ice cubes are clear, solid, and last longer without melting. Recommended 100%.

    This was a replacement to my previous Insignia and this machine is little and mighty however seeing the control panel is sometimes hard to see under the cabinet and I wish the basket was slightly larger to hold more ice but so far happy with this small, pretty quiet machine.

    Great ice machine. Quiet and easy to use. The scoop holder is a great upgrade from the previous one which made you leave the scooper inside the machine. A

    So far so good. It works as intended. It makes ice quickly and I dump it into the freezer. It’s loud when the ice falls so we turn it off when we have enough ice in the freezer.

    The ice quality is outstanding uniform, solid cubes that don’t melt too fast, making drinks taste better and stay colder longer. It’s also surprisingly quiet and efficient, so it runs in the background without being disruptive.

    Makes about 7-8 large ice cubes at a time (I haven't tried the small ones), which take about 5 minutes each. Will continue to make ice until the water runs out or the basket is full. For a full basket it takes about 45 minutes. A full basket is enough for 3-5 people depending on how much ice you like. Once you turn it off eventually the ice will melt and drain back into the reservoir, which can be reused later. I would recommend using fresh water every two days though. There is an easy drain plug at the bottom to help with emptying the reservoir. One thing to note, during ice making there is a bit of fan and motor noise, and occasionally in standby. If you turn it off completely it's silent though.
