    I recently purchased an ice maker machine, and I must say it has been a game-changer for my household. This appliance has not only saved us from the constant hassle of filling and emptying ice cube trays but has also provided a steady and convenient supply of ice whenever we need it. The machine's compact design fits perfectly on our countertop, and it's surprisingly quiet in operation. It produces ice cubes quickly, with a batch ready in just a matter of minutes. The quality of the ice is excellent, clear, and free from any odd tastes or odors. Its user-friendly interface and easy-to-clean components make maintenance a breeze. Overall, this ice maker has made entertaining guests and enjoying cold beverages a breeze, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    An excellent ice maker that is amazingly quick at making ice, great for my iced coffees in am and very compact as fits nicely in my kitchen counter I really like the simple easy to follow instructions and the very handy ice collection bucket ! I have never purchased a stand alone ice maker as always depended on my refrigerator one, but I needed a small ice cube for certain drinks and this is a great choice !!

    Insignia Ice-Maker: Does the Job without a fuss

    Insignia isn't the company I would have imagined would be producing a portable Icemaker w/ Auto Shut-Off, but I'm happy to say that despite this initial impression, I have no problem admitting my error. In addition, despite this incorrect assumption, I'm pleasantly satisfied with what I've received. Ignore the fact that it's a Mint color, reminiscent of the 50's and 60's style decorum. It does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do: MAKE ICE...AND LOTS OF IT. Overall, the icemaker is quiet, efficient (the first batch was created in just FIVE MINUTES) and by the time the catch-basket is full, you're ready to fill multiple glasses with enough ice to make everyone happy. The display atop the machine is easy to use and the cover functions to keep the ice from rapidly melting before you can make use of the ice you need. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and look forward to many baskets full of ice for months and even years to come.

    Ice maker went out on the fridge so I bought this because it was less expensive than fixing the fridge! Works great, makes a whole lot of ice in a very little time. Surprising how quickly this makes ice. Just the right size ice too! Works great, quiet, east to store when not in use. No complaints. I would recommend.

    They weren’t kidding about this making so much Ice! I turn it on first thing when I wake up and have a whole bucket of ice in less time for me to get dressed for work. Super easy to clean and small enough to have on the counter.

    Best for occasional use, okay for continuous use.

    I liked this item, for the money I thought it was a good buy. On the positive side it made nicely formed ice cubes (in what I would call a bullet shape), quickly and quietly (not silent but only a small non-disruptive amount of noise). On the negative side: for continuous use it is necessary (or at least suggested) that the tank needs to be drained and cleaned occasionally to avoid algae or contaminants. The problem is that to do this the unit must be lifted and held over the sink (or some area appropriate for water drainage) to access the drain plug on the underside of the unit, then wash and flush with clean water, and then blindly replace the plug into the drain hole (by turning unit on its side you could see the hole better, but then you would need to wait for the refrigerant to settle back into base). Also the plug was made so a retaining tether is inserted into a hole on the bottom of the plug (and this tether is used as a grab to pull the plug out of the drain hole), once the tether pulled out of the plug (leaving the plug in the drain hole) and I had to find an item to push the plug out (the push rod had to be small enough to fit through the drain hole and blunt enough to not puncture the plug as I pushed it out).

    This ice machine works well. We use it in our camper so the heat from blower isnt ideal especially when its 100+ outside and trying to keep camper cool. But ice is great. Have only used a few times so time will tell.

      Thanks, PaulH! Using it in a camper during those hot days sounds like a real test—and we’re glad it’s keeping up. Hope it continues to serve you well on your adventures!

    We had been wanting one of these for a while and I found it on Deal of the Day at a good discount. So I bought it. It produces ice pretty fast but we never used it long enough for the plastic taste to go completely away because a high end Insignia model went on sale on Deal of the Day that makes clear ice and we bought it and returned this one. Performance wise it runs pretty quiet and seems to be well made. Do be aware that with any type of ice machine like this that you must keep it clean or mold can grow inside of it over time. Especially if left off with water standing in it. This also applies to commercial ice machines as well. I know because I used to do commercial refrigeration and worked on them frequently. Icemakers in domestic refrigerators that are in the freezer section are exceptions to this rule. I think these are pretty good bang for the buck and do recommend from what time we had one. And yes, we do like the one that makes clear ice better. I'll be reviewing it next week.

    I love this machine compact easy to use and not loud at all. The 2 different size cubes is aplus. Cleaning is simple and pain free. Ice in 6 minutes. The only negative is the ice can be a little wet when you put it in a freezer and it freezes as one clump. But not a deal breaker. Just get a knife/ice pick and it breaks apart very easy.

    Handy, Clean, Quiet. Sterling Ice cubes in two sizes in about 5-7 minutes, Use bottled and distilled water for best results. Maybe add a small sqeeze of lemon. No tap water. Works well.

    I looked online for videos of people using the exact unit, and they didn't know how to use it properly. I was making ice within 10 minutes right out of the box. This ice maker is eay to use and makes some nice ice lol! I bought it for the wife but made her anout 10lbs to start with, took around 12hrs but it was pretty neat using it for rhe first time.
