Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the Insignia 26lb Icemaker for home and it has run well. We typically run it for a couple of days and bag the extra ice to store in a freezer. After a year, I purchased a second one for a small office and we leave it on all the time. It typically holds ice over night making new only a couple times until we start using ice again the next day. The one at work stopped running after about 10-11 months of use and I will proceed through the warranty process. That aside, here are my only issues: 1) Not using it all the time allows the internal area to get warmer and mold will start to grow everywhere. 2) Leaving it on all the time feels wasteful since it is making ice (although reduced) over night and weekends. 3) I would have put the device on a timer but when power is applied, it doesn't start making ice until the start button is depressed. 4) If it runs out of water, it won't restart until I have turned it off and back on again instead of detecting the water level increase. Those are my only issues and relatively minor.

This is our 5th ice maker we have owned and so far it is the best. We have had no issue with noise making on this machine. If I had any complaint it would be the ice does not stay long when putting in a warm drink. But otherwise it does a great job.

Little ice maker that could! — great product overall and does the job its intended to do. Only complaint would be how quickly it needs to be properly cleaned and disinfected. Mind you, I have no problem with upkeep on appliances but I don’t think my ice maker should have what looks like black… slime? a day after it hasn’t been used... not sure how to best describe it. It’s almost like the minimal amount of water inevitably left behind for that day becomes stale and eventually gets that black slime build up. Kinda weird not gonna lie lol But, ultimately, a deep clean with disinfectant and running it with water mixed with vinegar before starting actual ice cube making for ourselves seems to keep all that away. Coming from someone who is somewhat of a self-diagnosed germaphobe… it’s still 100% worth it.

Ice machine lasted one week and then absolutely died. I did purchase the warranty and Best Buy was very good and easy so they sent me a new machine ASAP and then I sent the broken one back. So far so good with this new one! Makes great ice, very quiet---I hope it continues to work!!!

This product is a reasonably priced unit that has two options on the size of ice it produces. When considering products, the ice maker is it is portable that you can take it with you camping. It does take up some counter space but you don’t have to worry where you will store a bag of ice, the water is recycled and it has a warning light to add more water

1. Convenient Ice Production: Counter ice machines are designed to be compact and easy to use, providing a convenient source of ice for your beverages or cooling needs without the hassle of traditional ice trays. 2. Speedy Ice Production: Most counter ice machines can produce ice relatively quickly, often within 10-20 minutes, which is faster than freezing ice in a regular freezer. 3. Ice Variety: Some models offer different ice cube shapes and sizes, allowing you to choose the type of ice that best suits your needs. 4. Compact Design: These machines are typically designed to fit on your countertop, saving freezer space and making them suitable for small kitchens, offices, or even outdoor use. 5. Easy Maintenance: They often come with removable parts for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Perfe t for outdoors. Quick and good size of ice cubes

This ice machine is a great starter! Its very convinient, it fits in small places and goes very nice in the kitchen. It takes about 8 minutes for the ice to get made and its super useful when you dont have any storage for ice and you are in a rush! One of my favorite features of this item are the sensors. It senses when the ice ifs full and once the ice is not in the sensors way, it starts making ice again. I was worried to have it on overnight but it was such a great idea. It did not overflow, whatever melted turned to ice again and I had fresh beautiful ice for my coffee before work without any delays. I recommend this ice maker to everyone, from a larger area to a small crowded area, it fits so perfectly, it comes in different colors for your aesthetic. Also, the ice maker is also pretty quiet.

It is the best, specially if you have gathering for dinner one water fill will give you lots of ice . I used it yesterday for thanksgiving dinner and I gots a lots of compliments about it and about it’s convenient size .

Still works and love the little ice. Can't complain simple as that

It is a good appliance to have in the kitchen. Always having ice cubes available for drinks round the clock, especially living here in the Tropic, is great! Easy to operate and refill. This is my 2nd ice maker but different brands. I am more pleased with this brand then my previous one. I would recommend this brand because it’s also priced reasonably.

I had two other brands of ice makers before this one. One lasted about 3 months and the other lasted about 6 months. This Insignia model has been wonderful. It's quieter than the others I have had and it has been running like clockwork for the past year and a half. I always have fresh ice readily available. It is my favorite small appliance and the one that gets used the most

Fantastic addition to my man cave. This ice maker takes no time to make ice. Super convenient and is quite once the ice is made. I highly recommend this ice maker. Really a Best Buy, pun intended.

Quiet and fast, and it makes the good ice. Wonderful machine

Works as advertised. Less heavy than my previous model, but just as fast.

I was tired of buying ice every day. I was looking for a pellet ice machine because my kids love to buy fountain drinks because of the ice. This is the best purchase I ever made! They were so excited to try it out. They have been making the ice non stop and eating it! It's very convenient and easy to use. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes the "Sonic" ice!!!

Love having countertop ice, makes ice quickly and fits nicely in a corner

Awesome product. It works as designed and advertised. It makes ice super fast and you can choose from two different sizes. It is portable and makes very little sound. It is very satisfying to hear the sound of each batch of ice dropping in the basket every few minutes. This is great for a man cave or areas where a full size refrigerator with a ice maker aren’t available....

What a great addition to a bar area. This pumps out ice like no other. Actually works better than my fridge ice maker. It is very quiet and has auto sensor when the ice is full. The only con is that theere is no cooler, When the ice dumps if you are not using it quickly the ice will begin to melt if left in the dump station. I just bag it and put it in the freezer.

This is my third purchase, for a new boat I own in NYC. I've owned these exact machines on two other boats currently in Florida. They have performed flawlessly. Small footprint so it doesn't take up much space, and provides enough ice for four adults. Never had an issue with any of these ice makers.
