    Well, it makes a couple cubes, then an iceberg that fuses to the top of the unit. It eventually freezes up, then I unplug for an hour until the iceberg drops. Then I can add the fist sized chunk to my now empty glass. what a waste.

      I'm sorry to hear that the Insignia™ Portable Ice Maker didn't meet your expectations. It can be frustrating when a product doesn't work as advertised, especially for something you were looking forward to using. Returning it for a refund was a practical decision. If you're still in the market for a portable ice maker, you might want to consider checking reviews or specifications to find one that better suits your needs. Thank you for sharing your experience!

    Cute color, but didn’t work for me. Ice maker made ice, but never remained cold enough to stop the ice from melting and clumping together. Hoping to get it replaced under warranty.
