Customer Ratings & Reviews

We purchased this for use in our RV. It has worked great! You can set it on the counter. Fill it with water and have cubes ready in not time without taking up the limited space in the RV freezer. We have also used it at home for a party on the deck saving trips inside to the freezer. Its fairly quiet. It does not hold the ice so you must remember to empty it as it makes the cubes, but that is for all of the ice makers. I highly recommend it.

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.

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

We purchased the ice maker because our new fridge couldn’t make enough to keep up with family functions or summer use. The ice maker helps to prepare extra to bag for later. It makes a good three cups plus before you need to remove it from the basket. It’s not too loud or too big. It has a drain on the bottom to release water from the container. I wouldn’t use it outside or keep it out in direct sun. The large cubes are slightly bigger than a candy drop candy. Never used small option. Overall, it does the job.

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

Perfect size for any kitchen makes ice fast no issues

I wish I could compare it to others, but this is the first one I have owned. It was purchased it because the one in the refrigerator went south. OK so the cycle takes about 7 minutes just like the instructions say. Here is the way I use it and it appears to work very well. I put a large Tupperware container in the freezer. Each time the ice maker basket fills up I empty it into the Tupperware container. The next time the basket fills up I take the Tupperware container out and smack it on the countertop a few times to get the previous cubes to separate and then add the new cubes in. I repeat this process until the Tupperware container is full. Once it is full, I empty it into a large plastic freezer bag. I repeat this process until the bag of ice is full. So far this has worked out great and I would purchase it again. At the price point it appears to be a good purchase and the performance is acceptable.

My new favorite kitchen appliance!!! The ice maker in my LG fridge died about 2 yrs ago, and I had been going to the gas station ever couple of days for 20lb bags of ice. And depending on which place you went, ranging from $5+ each time. Ever since i bought this simple to use counter top ice maker, I'm free!!! I make ice every couple of days, and its great !! The size of the cubes is fabulous !! They fit in every cup I have, they taste amazing, and there's no running out and drinking warm water until I can get out to the store. I definitely recommend this!! I worried that the less expensive machines would not work as good... But, I have not hax any issues. If anything , it is so phenomenal , I sometimes forget I'm making ice, and it just sits there "paused" until I remember!!! I feel like I'm always apologizing to it for forgetting !!! Haha You will love it!!!

This is an amazing product. Fairly quite, makes ice continually until full. When I first started it I was surprised as to how fast the ice was being made. Never with out ice now! Huge hit with the entire family!!

Love the Insignia portable ice maker. I bought to use in the RV and it really takes care of the ice needs. Would recommend the Insignia ice maker to anyone that has a very small freezer and limited space to store ice. Great product.

Love, love ,love this ice maker! Easy to fill and clean. Makes large n small size bullet shaped cubes. Only about 10 minutes per batch, and the thing i love most is the quiet operation! No loud sounds, just hear the ice drop in the tray! I've honestly used it everyday since I purchased it, my family loves n uses alot of ice, this was the answer! Definitely recommend purchasing this item! Thanks Best Buy!

Does what it says it will do, makes ice pretty quick, the entire tray is usually full in about an hour, even if the kids take some occasionally. It’s super easy to use, literally full with water abs turn on and quiet, barely noticeable sitting on our counter next to our fridge. The only real complaint we have is that the ice does melt quicker than I would have liked.

I purchased this on BEST BUY DAILY DEAL and it is worth every penny. Often times I look past this brand and thought poorly of them, however I’m now a loyal supporter and strongly recommend this ice maker. You won’t be disappointed and now I never run out of ice in my large household of 8 people. Perfect size options and it isn’t loud or annoying, matter of fact I enjoy watching it make ice cubes.

This portable ice maker is a lifesaver! It produces ice quickly and efficiently, perfect for parties, camping, or daily use. Compact yet powerful, it fits anywhere and works like a charm. The operation is hassle-free, and the ice quality is excellent. A must-have for anyone who loves cold drinks!

I got this to replace an old ice maker that broke. This one creates more ice than my old one and does a good job and its easy to clean. Hopwfully it lasts for several years. So far so good.

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.

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.

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.

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.
