Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great product, it's quick and quiet. I would highly recommend this.

We needed an ice maker for daily use especially this summer when we all wanted to have cold drinks. It was such a hassle to wait for all our ice trays to freeze esp when we wanted to make smoothies or just put ice on our drinks. The decision to get this Insignia 26-lb Portable Ice Maker is a no-brainer. We do not need the more expensive ones, we just needed something that works. And this one does its job well so far. Since Day 1 of letting it run, it wasn't turned off yet. And so far, we are all satisfied. It produces 9 cubes every few minutes. We just left the settings for large for the ice size. The water reservoir on this unit is not so big so I needed to make sure that it is refilled so that ice-making isn't interrupted. The ice basket is also not so large so if the ice isn't used right away, it piles up in the basket once it reaches the sensor point. If this happens, the unit automatically stops making ice until the basket is cleared. At first use, I found it is better to let the initial batches of ice cubes be put back into the water reservoir so that it cools the water, thus producing the larger cubes later on. The unit isn't so loud, just a slight humming sound that isn't really disruptive to daily life. All in all, this is a nice purchase that is just perfect for our daily needs. No more ice cube runs to the store if we needed more.

Compact fast ice maker kinda loud but works great !

The ice maker makes ice in about 7 min and I fill my freezer ice container after 3 basket fulls. The noise is not really noticeable and size is very convenient. I cleaned with soap and water since it says you can’t use vinegar and ice had no smell from batch 1. Great buy. I don’t know why I didn’t get sooner Cons is ice scoop doesn’t have a holder Machine can’t keep ice frozen (not advertised, but would be nice)

Makes ice fast small hollow shapes but cools drinks down fast easy to use did not take up much space. I like it when you need it you can start it up and it makes ice right away . When you do not just turn it off drain water. Then restart it on another day.

This icemaker is great for a countertop one. It makes ice in a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend it to anyone.

I found myself buying bags of ice all the time or forgetting and having to go out and see that there was hardly any left. And also, the ice bags were taking up space in my freezer so this ice maker was perfect. Its a great compact size, easy to use and makes a lot of ice.

This ice maker is the bomb! It makes two different sized ice cubes. I can now make delicious ice coffee at home and save much money. I put ice in jars, put them in the freezer. They are ready for me to pour cooled coffee over. Way yummy! TIP: Consider using distilled water only, so no mineral deposits mess up your ice maker. Doing this will also hinder the growth of mold if you leave water sitting in the ice maker.

This ice maker is my favorite small appliance. It works great and takes up a minimal amount of counter space. It’s never fails and for the price you can’t do any better.

We went from buying 10 lb ice bags from stripes every few days to using this little machine and having fresh, crunchy ice within 15 minutes. We love it. I love to chew ice, and this makes the best-textured ice. It doesn't take up too much room, is very easy to use, and is not loud.

Insignia isn't the company I would have imagined would be producing a portable Icemaker w/ Auto Shut-Off, but I'm happy to say that despite this initial impression, I have no problem admitting my error. In addition, despite this incorrect assumption, I'm pleasantly satisfied with what I've received. Ignore the fact that it's a Mint color, reminiscent of the 50's and 60's style decorum. It does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do: MAKE ICE...AND LOTS OF IT. Overall, the icemaker is quiet, efficient (the first batch was created in just FIVE MINUTES) and by the time the catch-basket is full, you're ready to fill multiple glasses with enough ice to make everyone happy. The display atop the machine is easy to use and the cover functions to keep the ice from rapidly melting before you can make use of the ice you need. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and look forward to many baskets full of ice for months and even years to come.

Works great! Fast ice production & perfect for any space! Would definitely recommend!

Sleak, quiet, and quick ice maker. Only takes up little counter space too

I recently purchased an ice maker machine, and I must say it has been a game-changer for my household. This appliance has not only saved us from the constant hassle of filling and emptying ice cube trays but has also provided a steady and convenient supply of ice whenever we need it. The machine's compact design fits perfectly on our countertop, and it's surprisingly quiet in operation. It produces ice cubes quickly, with a batch ready in just a matter of minutes. The quality of the ice is excellent, clear, and free from any odd tastes or odors. Its user-friendly interface and easy-to-clean components make maintenance a breeze. Overall, this ice maker has made entertaining guests and enjoying cold beverages a breeze, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Ice maker went out on the fridge so I bought this because it was less expensive than fixing the fridge! Works great, makes a whole lot of ice in a very little time. Surprising how quickly this makes ice. Just the right size ice too! Works great, quiet, east to store when not in use. No complaints. I would recommend.

I liked this item, for the money I thought it was a good buy. On the positive side it made nicely formed ice cubes (in what I would call a bullet shape), quickly and quietly (not silent but only a small non-disruptive amount of noise). On the negative side: for continuous use it is necessary (or at least suggested) that the tank needs to be drained and cleaned occasionally to avoid algae or contaminants. The problem is that to do this the unit must be lifted and held over the sink (or some area appropriate for water drainage) to access the drain plug on the underside of the unit, then wash and flush with clean water, and then blindly replace the plug into the drain hole (by turning unit on its side you could see the hole better, but then you would need to wait for the refrigerant to settle back into base). Also the plug was made so a retaining tether is inserted into a hole on the bottom of the plug (and this tether is used as a grab to pull the plug out of the drain hole), once the tether pulled out of the plug (leaving the plug in the drain hole) and I had to find an item to push the plug out (the push rod had to be small enough to fit through the drain hole and blunt enough to not puncture the plug as I pushed it out).

Works like the day we bought it. Never had a single issue. Just dump water in and 15 minutes later you have a cold drink

Perfect size for any kitchen makes ice fast no issues

Excellent for my college student! She has to have ice in her yeti ALWAYS & they wont let her leave with ice at the school (even though we paid for it), so we decided this would be a good gift for Christmas & she lo es it. It makes ice quickly & quietly and also easy to use.

I love this little guy!! It makes ice quickly and we use it up on these triple digit summer days!! Easy to operate. Keep it filled up with water every morning and evening. It’s worth the price! Great size for my small household of 2.
