    On my 2nd…

    When it works, it’s great! But it has a 6month shelf life. So either get a protection plan or another brand. I argued with customer service for a couple weeks when I had the time. They gave me misinformation to be able to return my old unit to geek squad. Waste of my time and energy. Eventually did get a new one. It also lasted 6months.

    Unsanitary - Don't Buy

    Works good but nearly imposible to clean. I run cleaner and sanitize through it but too many parts stay dirty. Knowing how bad ice can be for food poisoing I wouldn't recommend it. Surprised they allow selling in the US.

    Doesn't last

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This has a major design flaw. The water tube is too close to the heatsink. If the unit gets too hot, the heatsink can melt through the water tube, which causes water to leak directly onto the fan, which makes it short and stop working entirely, not making ice, and leaking water everywhere. I've been through two of these and when the second one broke i decided to go with a different model. Additionally, it is very hard to clean the inside because it doesnt come apart, and it ends up with mineral deposits and stains in areas you cant reach.

    Good idea, not great execution

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This machine makes about 10 small, grape-sized icecubes at a time. It does not keep them chilled, let alone frozen. Meaning you must stand next to it and instantly transfer the cubes to the freezer as soon as they are dropped. Even so, the machine is warm so the cubes are instantly watery thus stick together in a clump in the freezer. Good idea, not great execution.

    Did not last a year

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this in February of 22, it lasted less than 3 months. They were kind enough to replace it, the new one lasted 9 months. I only turned it on for a few hours in the evening. It is unfortunate, I expect an appliance to last longer. It's strange that it does not show up in my purchase history, but I have the email form Best Buy stating they received the order,

    Don'y Buy It

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Takes a long time to make ice and you have to watch it closely to remove the ice that's made and move to freezer or it just melts and starts the process all over. Was a bad decision. I was trying to save $$$ as I buy a lot of bagged ice for my various ailments. It is more of a boat anchor than ice maker.

    Ice taste gross. I purchased this a few months back. I have tried everything to get the gross taste of the new merchandise out but nothing works. We have tried to use both filtered water and tap water and neither work. I feel like I got a lemon!!

    Not worth it!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have bought this ice maker twice. Both ice machines, ice scraping thing that moves the ice to the basket broke. The first ice machine I didn't have a warranty and it lasted a little over a year. The second ice machine lasted almost 2 years with the warranty. Insignia said they don't cover that part. When you purchase a plan warranty read what it doesn't cover. I cleaned and used the proper water correctly whit this product. I give this no stars. But had to give 1 star to post my comment.

    Did not work as well as I thought. The ice didn't last very long. And when you put it in a glass, it melted very fast.
