    Love it! The unit is attractive and performing magnificently. It replaces a similar, but more expensive, bulky and far louder unit, from a different manufacturer, roughly, without warning, simply stop working. after approximately 14 months of use. Shopped for and selected previous unit based in large part on the quiet/low decibel operating partners. Blown away how much quieter this replacement is.

    Nice little ice maker

    The water line to our fridge stopped working, so we lost the in-door water and ice function. Didn't really care about the water, but missed the ice. We were buying bagged ice and refilling our ice bin until we got this. It is affordable and much more convenient than buying ice every week. I just let it run in the background and, after a few full bins from the ice maker are dumped into our freezer bin, the freezer bin is full, and we can use the ice function on our fridge again. Plus, the ice is softer/less dense than store bought, so it's easier to chew, which I'm a big fan of. So far so good and definitely recommend.

    Pro: Makes ice really quickly Lightweight and can be placed just about anywhere Motor is very quiet Easy to refill Cons: Small basket so not much ice can be made Water reservoir is small so you have to add water constantly Overall: works as advertised. You just have to decide how much ice you need. It’s the users are 1-2 people only will be perfect as it’s small and can be placed anywhere. If there’s more than 2 people using the ice maker consider buying a model that hold more ice

    We bought this to take Camping the styled drew me to it. We tried it at home first and it made ice very quickly and while we were camping. It made the ice that we needed right away and we didn’t have to worry about our drinks getting warm. It takes up very little space And it looks good on the countertop and matches our decor. It is a little noisy, but most ice makers are, but we ran it during the day and in the evening we had all the ice we needed.

      Thank you for your wonderful review of the Insignia™ Portable Ice Maker with Auto Shut-Off in Mint! We're so glad to hear it was a hit both at home and on your camping trip.

      It’s great to know that it delivered ice quickly when you needed it most and helped keep your drinks refreshingly cold. We love that the stylish design caught your eye and that it fits in so nicely with your décor. Your note about the compact size and countertop appeal is especially helpful for others considering it for small spaces or travel.

      While a bit of noise is common with ice makers, we’re happy to hear it didn’t get in the way of your enjoyment. Thanks again for sharing your experience—and happy camping! Ivy | Insignia Support BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    Handy unit for ice on demand

    Small and sturdy, it makes ice quickly, but the pieces are small and hollow—about the size of a woman's index fingertip. Although you can choose "small" or "large" ice, I did not see a difference. The basket that holds the ice as it's made is small and flat, so I had to empty it frequently to prevent it from shutting off. If the basket were sloped toward the front, the ice would have fallen away from the "full line." Also, the unit does not keep the ice cold, so it was to be stored elsewhere to prevent it from melting into the water reservoir. However, we managed to keep food cool with bowls of this ice for about a week in the refrigerator when our freezer broke and had to be replaced. If we added water and transferred the ice as needed, we kept the ice maker going for about 12 hours daily, making it durable.

    My standing fridge has mold (assumed from the taste and expert opinions) in the lines on the inside of the machine. It would practically be cheaper to buy a new fridge than have the lines replaced. I decided to get this ice maker rather than going out to buy bags of ice all the time. I have had it for awhile and I am very pleased with it. It does not make a whole lot of ice in the basket, but it does not take long at all for the basket to fill back up. It is also small enough that it does not take up much room at all on the countertop.

    Cheap and easy functioning, however, it doesn't get 5 stars due to the fact it doesn't keep the Ice cool enough for long periods. (Ice will start to melt after 30 min, AFTER it turns off or is full of ice. During the production of ice it will keep the other ice from melting) You need a separate container for the ice if you wish to preserve it. Pretty fast, fresh ice within 10mins of turning on the machine and adding water. FYI, make sure to follow directions and cycle machine a couple times as it cleans out the residue left over from manufacturing. I actually never thought about that but as soon as I read manual I thought "duh". And the fact more and more of our products are produced overseas with often no standards to oversite you never know what chemicals or cleaners where used in the production of this produce. It has two ice sizes as a FYI, (Small & Large) that is not clearly outlined in the description or on the box.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Dont let the abrand name fool you, this is a best buy brand and it works wonders. It has two different options of size of ice, small and big. Also its very easy to clean. I personally cant go without ice in this heat wave of a Summer but having this is amazing. Also it makes ice is less than 5 minutes. When you first buy it make sure you drain out the first two bat hes of ufe it makes just so the ice doenst taste funky.

    This little device is great. Our refrigerator/freezer stopped working and we needed something that made ice since our other refrigerator was completely filled with items from the broken one ,freezer full with no room for an ice tray. The new unit wasn't expected for a month, so i purchased the Insignia Ice maker. We love it. It has kept us in ice . Makes ice very quickly. It is quiet and very efficient. Not sorry we bought it. We will be using it even when our unit comes in because it creates soft ice,

    Exactly what we needed for our small house. Very inexpensive compared to other ice makers. Doesn't take up much space and produces ice relatively quick. Definitely recommend for college kids or man caves.

    This is our 2nd one, they last a lot longer than all the other brands we've tried. 2 1/2 years versus 1 year or less. The extended warranty is the best! I highly reccomend to purchase the 4 year warranty. We don't have an ice maker in our fridge, we have it next to it. I only drink ice water, it's great to have fresh ice all day long. They are all noisy, this one is less noisy than other brands we've tried.

    My wife wanted a nugget/pellet-style ice machine and this balances value and compromise. It makes ice very quickly, is relatively quiet, and doeant take up too much counter space. Once the tray is full, you probably have enough ice for 4-5 cups, but just keep it filled with water and it will keep churning out freah ice!
