Customers are saying
Customers express satisfaction with the ice maker's high ice production rate, ease of use, and compact size. Many appreciate the sleek design and self-cleaning function. However, some customers note that the ice maker can be noisy during operation, and the drain plug design is a point of concern for a few. Overall, positive feedback on ice production and ease of use outweighs the negative comments.

Vanilla... Ice Ice Baby
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes ice surprisingly fast. Little bit loud, and puts out more heat than i expected, but it's been a game changer for hosting BBQs and small gatherings. Looking forward to being able to fill up coolers for park and beach trips and not having to buy bags of ice. Makes about 20 or so cubes every 10-12 minutes.

So much ice so little time
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ice machine doesn't job and my family uses it all the time. The only thing is, the ice sticks together so you kinda have to separate them with the scoop. Other then that, it great

Great ice machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the clear ice flow ice machine vice the pellet looking “cloudy” ice tray ice machine

Posted .Hi IceUserLY,
Thank you for your review of the Insignia™ Portable Clear Ice Maker with Auto Shut-off! We’re glad to hear that you prefer the clear ice it produces over the pellet-style “cloudy” ice from traditional ice trays. Patricia | Insignia Support

Nice machine
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My ice maker was working perfectly before my husband started using it. Now there’s a dirty ice shovel in there all the time and I rarely use it. When I have time to clean it it works perfectly. I also love the texture of the ice it creates.

Great, until it wasn’t.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great when it worked. It lasted about three months then wouldn’t turn on. Returned to Best Buy. The manual plug came apart at about two months but I came up with a workaround.

Awesome Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great ice maker. Love the clear ice and that I can change the thickness of the ice if I want or need to. Once the bin is full, i just transfer to my freezer and I have ice without having to drive to purchase ice. Would definitely buy again.

good at what it is suposed to do
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only proble is ice comes out in total sheet you have to bust apart I found slaming into a cutting board works well and is very close to ice maker to slide right back in.

The little unit that almost could.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit works but the ice produced is not entirely "clear" It also tends to produce ice in blocks that have to be broken up. Definitely not as nice as the built in unit we were trying to replace.

Must be unplugged to actually turn it off !
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't believe you cannot turn this machine off unless you unplug it. Our electric outlet is not easy to reach & the plug is flat and difficult to remove from the outlet. I need a machine that can be turned off at the front control panel. Unfortunately, the on-off button on this model ONLY begins or ends the ice making function - that's it. When water is low, the machine stops making ice but the blue 'add water' light and the blue 'begin making ice' light annoyingly continues rotating - non-stop - until you add water & push the on-off button and begin making ice again. Next, the ice is not clear-even using filtered water. The 1st 3 batches of 'throw away' ice was made with tap water and ice was semi-clear. Then we used filtered water and ice was not clear at all. Next, the ice is expelled in sheets and does not break up into ice cubes which you have to do manually. The ice sheet would not break up when I tried using my hands and I’m reasonably strong. I had to put the ice sheets in a heavy baggie and slam it against a brick wall-several times to completely break it into ice cubes. You could perhaps use a hammer or an old-fashion ice pick. Finally, the drain plug is difficult to use. A simple screw cap would be better. Worse, you have to tip the entire machine forward in order to actually get all the water to drain out. Even when pulled to the edge of the countertop, the back of the unit could not be tilted because our upper cabinets prevented it. So I had to pull the heavy unit forward about halfway off the countertop in order to tilt it and drain all the water - while trying to balance it & prevent the machine from falling to the floor. All in all this machine is very poorly designed. It was returned.

Posted .The unit turns off when it needs water added also when the ice tray fills up. Press the power button to turn your ice maker on or off. Press and hold for more than five seconds to stop the ice making process and have the ice tray eject the ice cubes.

Works, but . . .
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes ice, but the cubes stick together in blocks. If left in maker, they melt. If placed in freezer, you end up with a large ball of cubes frozen together.

Makes ice fast but in a sheet
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes ice fast but in a sheet that you have to break up yourself which is annoying. Good otherwise.

Lots of ice
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that it gives me a full ice bin throughout the day. The one thing im not a fan of is that i have to manually break the ice after it gets made and drops.
