    Ice Maker

    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.

    No bueno.Broke really fast.

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

    The machine broke within a week. It makes batch of ice then the fill water light stays on even when its full water. It does not make ice anymore. It really is not a good ice machine. Honestly with these machines the more expensive is the way to go. Because if your buying an ice machine its for comfort and hassle free use. This was a pain and a bummer.

    Two too many

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

    First one worked good for about three months then the pump got extremely loud and was struggling to pump water, returned it to Best Buy and they ordered another one for us. It got delivered to the house with a broken lid, tried to use it anyway and the water pump had the same issue as my first one but worse. Sitting in the garage boxed up, trying to decide if it’s even worth my time to return it again.

    Not a self cleaning unit. A lot of effort every month to keep it clean. The unit stopped working after a year. I brought a self cleaning unit that requires a little monthly maintenance but nothing like this unit.

    Do not purchase

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

    Absolute junk. I’m not sure how this thing has good reviews because it was a complete waste of money. Says not to let the basket fill up but????? Lol literally it melts before 20 tiny ice cubes are made. Also, it takes 15 minutes to make 9 ice cubes! Took 5 hours to fill 2 sandwich bags. Seriously would never recommend this.

    It made three batches of ice and then quit. I had already thrown the box out at this time or I would have been returning it. Don’t buy it.

    Hunk of junk

    In less than a month of use it started making an unbearable loud noise when it dispenses ice. I can only run it when I'm not home and dump the ice in another container. Sorely disappointed. Would've given ZERO stars

    First one died and was replaced under 12 month warranty. 2nd unit lasted 13 months and died. Insignia wouldn't honor any repairs since it was a couple of weeks over... more junk products.
