    It started out working well, but during the second use ice was getting stuck and the add water light comes on with water in it.

    I really liked the ice maker. It worked well when I first got it, but it just stopped working. Luckily I have the best buy membership, so they said I can get my money back in store credit. Its kind of a bummer that this machine worked less than 10 times and broke.

    This icemaker makes eight tiny ice cubes that would fit on your fingertips and it takes about 20 minutes to make it I can’t believe they ever designed this product and it made it through an entire corporate production system and they market a product that so obviously does not work in a very unfortunate waste of time Doesn’t even make enough ice for one drink in a full hour of operation and it seems to be working perfectly it’s just a serious design flaw

    Purchased in June, worked great. Broke in September. It started making a very loud (more than usual) noise and then the ice full indicator light came on when there was very little ice made and it will not reset to start making ice again. The owners manual "troubleshooting" advice for when the light comes on? "Remove ice from the bin." Sorry - that is normal use, not troubleshooting. There is no info on how to reset or fix this problem. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

    We loved this ice maker until it stopped working. The lever that turned the ice came loose on one side about a week ago. It was annoying but it still made ice. Now it says add water although the machine is full. It no linger makes ice. We have had the ice maker almost seven months. I have been pleased with most Insignia products we have purchased, but not this ice maker.
