    This is my fourth one in 2 year's! Each one has failed within 6-8 month's for one reason or another. Going back to old school with ice trays because everytime i get a replacement i have to buy a new warranty. Not worth it!

    Bought this and brought it home to set up and it would never work the correct way. Not saying I could have bought another one and it not work maybe this was just a bad apple but was able to go to different store and get different brand and it worked great.

    Asked the salesman if it held ice. He said yes. Wrong. Does not hold ice. Ice melts immediately. Ice cubes are small and have a hole in them so they melt before your drink even gets cold. Total waste of money.

    The ice does not stay solid it melts and recycles itself. Every morning it’s in the recycling stage so I don’t get ice for when I leave for work, which is the main reason I purchased. It doesn’t hold very much ice either.

    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.

    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.

      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!
