    Not great

    9 month review here. The machine worked great for the first 6 months. At that time the ice full sensor must've stopped working. So the arm that brings the ice out gets jammed. It comes off weekly and it takes at least 30 min to get back on. This last time I couldn't get it back on so I am looking for another brand unfortunately. My last ice machine lasted 4 years with constant use.

    Makes ice. Not portable. Still need to hook up to plug. Read the description wrong. Tittle missed led. Thought it would make 26lb of ice but the ice maker weights 26lbs. Only makes 2lbs or less of ice every couple of hours. Not worth it.

    Good while it lasted (13 months). It worked great but after 13 months (warranty 12 mo obviously), it started leaking. I took it apart and found the plastic had gotten brittle and broken in a key spot.

    Major flaw. Look elsewhere

    Major flaw: after about 10 days, the 'ice full' control fails overflowing the machine. If left unchecked, it could damage the automatic ice lifter. Turning off, unplugging, and cleaning the two sensors seems to fix, but can take mutiple attempts. If not watchi g this thing, it could damage itself making it useless. After the third time this happened, I found out i was just beyond my return period. Not fond of Insignia or best buy for that reason. Get another brand.

    Doesn’t keep the ice

    Returned this item as it doesn’t keep the ice once made. Once the ice is made, it needs to be transferred into the freezer otherwise it just melts.

    It’s an average ice maker. This one doesn’t have an automatic clean cycle and it’s more work to clean than the last one.

    Good price but I am a bit disappointed in the size of the cubes. Works fine. I wouldn't recommend this for someone looking for a unit that produces regular size ice cubes.

    Just wish it would keep the ice from melting until you can get it into your freezer! Once in the freezer, the ice cubes get clogged together! Is there something I'm missing to prevent this?

    It’s cool to watch but doesn’t make very much. You still have bag the ice and store it in a freezer.

    It worked great at first, but after a couple of months it just stopped. And when I tried to get it exchanged, there were none to be had( that I was told )…

    This Product is just ok. It's really big for the amount of ice it puts out. And it's probably.not gonna be very beneficial for the summer like I thought it would be.

    Very pretty. It was too heavy for me. Bigger than what I expected but took too long to make the ice and then the small cubes. Ended up returning.
