    Insignia 16lb Portable Icemaker

    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.

    Easy to use. Great for parties when you need ice. Just put it on the counter top ear the sink. Slow going but constantly makes small round ice cubes. Will stop when tray is full. Ice stays cold in the tray. Hard to pull plug out of the bottom to drain. Plug is a cheap plastic plug. Afraid it would break! So I had to lift and tilt machine to empty water out. Let it air dry. Easy to store. Kept the box to store the machine.

    Much better then lugging in pounds of bagged ice, filling/refilling ice trays that take up freezer space with multiple ice trays and making room for the container you dumped the ice into. It is just right for me and more convenient.

    This icemaker is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. It quickly produces ice, taking only about 15 to 20 minutes from setup to use. The only minor issue I encountered was the loud noise it makes while making ice. However, the ice reservoir could be larger if you’re planning to host large parties, but for my personal use, it was perfectly adequate.

    So far so good. The last one we had was a Frigidaire and it stopped working a year and a week after purchase. This one is practically identical but with a scoop holder which is nice.

    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.

    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 for when your ice maker in your refrigerator/freezer side by side stops working. Just add water and wait a few minutes and you have ice to cool your beverages.

    We got this after our old ice maker went bad and it works fantastic. It has a decent storage amount and it lasts us 2 days! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a low price ice maker.
