    Worked fine for a couple weeks. Then it stopped producing ice consistently. Would have to power cycle it several times before it would work. Returned it.

    About a year later it died on me. First it started off with mild growing in the waterline. Then the ice reservoir started turning orange. No matter how often I cleaned it. Then the motor died. Was great for the year

    Very disappointed in this ice maker's longevity. Purchased two and ended up returning one as defective. The other one has started leaking from the back and it is not even 6 months old. I expect more from any brand, but especially Insignia. Poor quality - don't waste your time or money.

    After 7 months rust started coming out of the top right gear hold inside the ice maker. The rust would run down into the water. This ice maker didn't make it a year before it was no longer usable.

    It was very loud when dumping the ice, would say ear piercing, and the ice cubes tasted like plastic. Insignia is usually a safe bet but not in this case.

    Zero stars if possible. Absolute garbage. Plus it grows mold it in somewhere that you can’t even find to clean. So the minimal cubes it does produce, are full of chunky green mold.
