    It worked really well but stopped working conveniently right after the warranty was up. I thought Insignia would stand behind their product but they didn't so I had to go out and buy a new one. Would recommend a company with a better warranty.

    The ice is small and melts fast. even the "large ice" is still smaller that regular ice in your freezer. does it work? yes... I planned to use it for my bar. but... it's not the size of ice you want for DRINKS. takes about 5 minutes to make 11 cubes. tiny cubes. won't buy again. not for a bar.

    I loved this when I purchased it. It worked really good till it stopped working. I didn’t get the extended warranty so that didn’t help me out. I literally only was able to use it for a few months.

    Not Best Buy standards

    Open box items marked as excellent is expected to be received with an 'excellent' rate of quality. This product is nowhere near that quality and I am highly disappointed in this order. I have just got back to town and was able to only now see my order- or course a few days late of returning the product. Had the prpduct condition been marked to match the actual quality i would have been fine obviously. But something marked as excellent but receiving something that looks as if it has been taken out of a dumpster and used as an experiemental project by some back alley inhabitant is quite disappointing especially by Best Buy standards. Heck whoever or whatever took it apart and put it back together left out some screws, something looks pretty backwards, some mismatched screws, along with a whole unit that doesn't function and is cracked. As i am stuck with the darn thing i suppose we shall call it the Frankenstein dumpster ice machine.. that doesn't function nearly as good as Frankenstein did.

    Cute but a joke as a functional ice maker

    Maybe my expectations were too high for this little icemaker, but honestly, the puny amount of ice it makes per batch is laughable. I cannot imagine the scenario where this is a useful product, I mean like 1/2 cup per batch and then it starts melting right away because the containment area is not insulated.
