Customer Ratings & Reviews

Once you have one on your counter it becomes a must have. My last one lasted about a year, we will see if insignia is any better, had bad luck with there TV's but though for the price of 49 bucks (red only) I'd give ema shot. So far so good.

Really a nice appliance to replace or supplement fridge-freezer icemaker. Small, accessible, easy to operate, fast.

I bought this insignia portable ice maker for my husband he love it, it make very cute bullets shape ice in two size it work perfect and make 8 pieces of ice every 5min. I would recommend it to any one who is looking for a small counter top icemaker.

This ice maker is a must in every household. Fast and the noise is not loud.

Excellent ice maker! Quick, quiet and easy to clean. Makes 2 sizes of great ice. Leave the lid open after using and it dries completely inside.

For the money, the Insignia 26-Lb. Portable Ice Maker with Auto Shut-Off makes quite a lot of ice in a short period of time. Our Samsung refrigerator's ice maker is a known bad piece of - uhm - engineering, and plastic ice trays are a pain. We could have spent a lot more for a few extra features, but there is not a problem with making ice as long as you stay attentive. The unit is not a freezer, and when a round of 9 ice cubes dump, they fall into a basket where they will melt if left too long. The water reservoir is sufficient for several rounds of ice. The ice is shaped liked tiny Asian teacups. One day of running (and emptying after 4-5 rounds) will fill our large ice container in the freezer. Have an ice pick handy, because the melting ice refreezes once stored away in the freezer forming large lumps of tumbled tiny teacups. The bottom drain plug is a good feature. Auto shut-off for full ice basket or low water level are also good features.

This ice maker works great! on the small cube setting it makes 9 cubes every 5 minutes. Also, its compact and very quiet.

Our ice maker in the freezer quit several years ago. Tired of always buying ice. First ice maker we bought we we're not happy with it. Once the ice cubes were made water continued to run over them. Water did not recirculate. That ice maker was returned. Went to Best Buy they had this one. Just what we we're looking for. Ice in a basket without water running over it and recirculating water. It's not loud either unlike our sons that he purchased many years ago. Very happy with purchase.

Works quickly and works quietly. Doesn't hold enough ice to host a party, but it is enough to supplement our fridge whose ice maker takes forever and can sometimes not make ice.

I bought this for my wife for her office. She loves it. She likes to eat ice and says this is the prefect size and is soft enough to chew. She starts it up when she gets to work and by lunch there is plenty of ice. It does not keep the ice cold but any ice that melts just goes back into the reservoir to make more ice.

really pleased with this portable icemaker with auto shut-off. It fits in my small space on the counter of the kitchen with the vent facing out to open areas. I usually use the smaller size cubes as they fit in my carry container so I have ice cold water when I travel. Thank you Best Buy Customer Service for helping me choose the size that was right for my space.

This item preformed better than expected. I am using the ice produced to provide cold compresses after shoulder surgery. It produces a constant stream of ice cubes, as long as you keep the unit filled with water. Ice cubes are dumped every 6 to 7 minutes until the ice basket fills. Cubes can block the electronic eye and stop the production of ice but pushing them away starts the machine again. This only happens when the basket is almost filled to capacity. The unit will operate for many hours on one water fill up but the ice tray will have to be emptied a number of times before the water reservoir drains completely and needs to be refilled. My unit is used indoors and not in direct sunlight. I can see how external temperature can have a big impact on ice production. Once the ice is dumped into the ice basket, it is subjected to the ambient temperature and can start to melt. The melted ice drains into the reservoir and gets reused again to make ice. I purchased this on 07 OCT 22 and so far am very pleased with it. So pleased that I filled out this requested review that I normal don't do. Check back in about 6 to 9 months. If it's still preforming then, like it is now, I'll add to this review. And if it's not, I'll definitely add to this review.

I almost kick myself for not getting this sooner! It makes ice so fast! My only complaint is that it is hard to clean at times, getting to those small corners is a pain in the butt. I would recommend putting in the water you drink with and not tap water. I have a filter on my sink which gives the water a better taste than my tap water. It does not take up too much counter space and is fairly quiet. I love that it came with a tray to catch the ice and a little scooper.

makes ice cubes i minutes but only about 10 at a time, need a little patience, pretty quiet and small footprint

So far so good. Bought as a simple inexpensive work-around for a broken ice maker in a high-end fridge. It does its job. It makes ice - a lot of it and quickly. Unless you're having a pool party weekend it's likely you'll need to run it just a couple times a week. It's sleek enough to hide well in a nicely appointed kitchen as well. I don't know how long it will last but right now it's far better than a expensive repair or complete replacement of a fridge.

Recieved a defective one that roared loudly while making ice (white model), and Best Buy’s customer service worked wonders in making sure we were taken care of! We went in for an exchange, but the white model was completely sold out and out of stock in-store and online, so they exchanged it for the more expensive (silver) model without hesitation for us! We were pleased to just have a working machine, but in awe by their willingness to make sure we did not leave the store without one. Thank you, Best Buy! You guys are awesome! The machine works perfectly with a peaceful hum to let you know it is creating the perfect cubes you desire, small or large! The machine also knows when to stop, wether by a full ice trey or a low water level, while also letting you know. The machine is awesome! The machine and BB’s customer service get the job done!

Love my new Ice maker. I never have enough room in my freezer to make ice. And buying ice gets expensive. The more you pay the less you get. I am pleased with the amount of ice that you can make in such a short time. And if you have to run an errand it will auto shut off and not over fill. It quieter that I expected and not buying new save me a lot of money. I love it!!!

I loved the size of the ice cubes that it makes. It is quiet while running. There were two negatives. One - it doesn’t keep the ice cold. You need to scoop it out and place in the freezer. Two - there was a short in the power cord after the third day of using it. Best Buy’s customer service was great. While the store did not have an additional one in stock to exchange, they are sending one to my home. Cannot wait to get it next week.

My fridge ice maker went out so I purchased this ice maker. Great price and makes ice fast. It is also quiet and looks great on the counter. I would highly recommend.

I love this machine! It's not too loud, works as advertised and made my summer drinks joyful. It fits on my kitchen table and does not take up a lot of space. I had to replace it after a few years of non stop use.i had the protection plan, went in and got the same model. My service was quick and easy!
