Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought about a month ago to make ice because we have a small freezer. Works great! Easy to use and stops automatically once it senses it is full. Tip: Clean regularly to avoid cloudy ice. The bullet ice cubes are cute and work great to cool things down.

After purchasing a vintage refrigerator, it quickly became apparent that ice cube trays were taking up valuable real estate in the tiny freezer. I discovered the Insignia Portable Ice Maker while attending a party ... came home and ordered one immediately! I've used this continuously for two years, and couldn't be happier with it. Was back to purchase another one as a gift for a recent house guest (who claimed they were going to "kidnap" mine), and wanted to leave a review for this great gadget!

only had it a day but makes ice fast nice and quiet.. nice machine.. if you want ice to last will have to transfer to freezer but it reuses water if ice melts so it will just keep remaking ice it last a few hours in there before melting..i love it

Perfect size ice. Been using this product for years now. Saves me money from buying expensive ice

I COULD NOT see myself spending $500.00+ on the GE Opal Ice Maker so I compromised on this one instead. It was on sale for Black Friday, so I figured why not! So far I love it and have no complaints. Hopefully this lasts me a long time. You can’t beat the price. I can’t wait to use this for my cocktails. I also used distilled water and the ice is super clear.

This is a table top ice maker. It is able to produce a large volume of ice and a short period of time. The only thing that makes it a little less than perfect, is that the scoop that moves the ice from the ice chamber to the hopper does not always pick up all the ice. If an ice cube falls into the area outside of the ice chamber but not into the hopper the scoop sometimes will not pick that ice up on a subsequent try. Otherwise this is a quick and relatively inexpensive solution to produce extra ice for frozen drinks as well as just adding cubes to cups.

This is what my family needed with the summer heat approaching quickly!! Excellent machine!! 5 stars across the board!!

This was very fast at baking my ice and it ran very quiet while it was doing it. I would recommend it to everyone that needs ice and likes to have some icebreaker in the same room with them. It works just great thank you. 

Rental home I’m living in doesn’t have ice machine maker. Went with insignia because it’s Best Buy’s brand. Hasn’t let down since. About an hour and half for a full basket production. Easy to use.

Was great and one of my favorite todays. Ice on demand! Sign me up... Unfortunately, less than a year later the ice maker died... We will need another ice maker. I should have bought a better brand. Guy

This little ice machine is great! It makes a ton of ice throughout the day and auto shuts off when you need to add more water.

It’s pretty good been using it as of now, pretty simple to clean. Does not make any disturbing noises. No complaints at all Definitely would buy again.

Love this little ice maker. The only thing that would make it better, would be an insulated lid to keep the ice from melting a bit. It is so quick when it makes ice. Perfect for my office.

Great ice maker. This is our third in five years. So far, so good. Seems like a well constructed ice maker. It operates the same as the last one we had. I wish there were a small alarm that would go off when the water is out, since I seem to be the only one who thinks to refill the water well regularly and maybe then my partner would think to check and refill it. ha. Added bonus: You can buy a nice high end refrigerator that DOESN'T break down two years later, due to constant use of the ice maker...since they are two separate appliances.

Had been great so far! Good munching ice because it is a bit softer. Wish it made more ice at a time, but for the price, it is what I expected.

Makes ice so fast it shuts itself off. You forget to keep emptying the ice bucket. Takes a 2 qt. pitcher to fill it, then away it goes. Fairly silent, you might hear the fan if you really care. To have fresh ice at your side really makes the difference next to the lighted beverage cooler. Well, for some of us.

This is a great ice machine. It makes 9 cubes in 5 1/2 minutes and takes about 45-50 minutes for a full basket. I’ve made probably 6 full baskets already and I can still taste the chemicals, but hopefully that’ll go away soon. I’ll just keep running it through.

So far so good. We use it in our travel trailer. Great to have ice on demand, makes it pretty quickly. Doesn't take up a lot of space. Highly recommend for the price.

the ice maker works great, and easy to care for, and it allows you to select size of the ice cubes. small enough to fit drink water bottles and large enough to put in your drinking glass.

I love this counter top ice maker. It makes a ton of ice and takes up a little. My issue with the machine is that it gets dirty fast due to cold water mold. The water basket is easy enough to clean, however the basket that the ice cubes drop into before filling the regular basket is almost impossible to reach to clean. You can’t simply take a few panels off the to reach the interior backet to clean and I haven’t found any solutions. I’m going to give it a few more try’s at cleaning before I make my final decision.
