Customer Ratings & Reviews

I owned the previous model from Insignia and let me say that this new model is a huge improvement! This review will largely compare the two models. For starters, this one has a fresh new design that uses a sleek (plastic?) silver finish that is smooth and brighter looking than the standard brushed stainless steel look. I definitely find it much more aesthetically pleasing on the kitchen counter versus the last model. They've even cut the size and weight down while maintaining the ice capacity. Cooling seems more efficient as well as they've gotten rid of the intake vents on the left side. Controls now sit on the top near the back which is more subtle and also less prone to accidentally leaking or spilling water on the controls (as opening the lid effectively protects it now). I also dig the new white power cord as it blends well with my kitchen decor. Lastly, this ice machine is quieter when dispensing ice as it now drops the ice one at a time. The last model would drop the ice all at once making for a louder noise. Couldn't be happier!

Our big ice maker broke. I need ice. That's my thing. I need all the things I drink to have ice. So, I bought this portable version to use until our new big ice maker came. It makes ice! It makes it fast. It's very noisy. I put it in the laundry room and closed the door or it woke up my mother. The water moving through and the ice dropping. Very noisy. And still worth it. There are 2 settings for cube size. The large...is quite small. It has a hole in each cube. They melt in the ice maker. But the water recirculates and it keeps making ice. It's worth it. Because of the size and the hole, the ice melts more quickly in drinks. But it's kept making ice so you can refill your glass. It's worth it. For a house with 2 adults, we only had to refill the water once every other day or every third day. I recommend this. It works. These days, that's a big deal.

I really like this ice maker! It works GREAT! Now we have ice all the time without getting the floor wet with dripping ice cube trays. Small enough to have on the counter.

Very good buy .I like to have ice on hand at anytime.

Absolutely love my ice maker! It makes ice cubes every 6 minutes, and I love the texture. I would absolutely recommend it and purchase it again if I needed to!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! One of the best purchases I have made! Easy to use and makes great ice. Use it more than I do my ice trays. Has made my life so much easier. Highly recommend it. When I travel it is DEFINITELY going with me. Just pour the R O water in and let it go to work

I love this ice maker as it has made my life so easy. Its a part of my bar now and my drinks never fall short of ice.

This is my second ice maker and I’m very impressed with how quickly and much this one makes. The first one was a Christmas gift and when I tried to reach customer service of the manufacturer, I never got a response to my email regarding it no longer working. Therefore, I like even better that Best Buy has better Customer Support.

Perfect for my son at college. Works great. No complaints.

Works well and makes ice quickly when you need it.

Great product and easy to use. Makes ice quickly..

Simple. Quick and Portable. Small footprint. Don't put it in the room where you intend to sleep, however. Icemaking is continuous (maybe not ? if you read the manual..I don't care for them myself. If it's not simple enough to set up and operate without a 20-page text it's not for me) Recommended with remarks.

I absolutely love this ice maker! It works quickly and is very easy to use! Having ice on hand all the time during the summer is a must and this easily gets the job done!

I'm enjoying my icemaker (Insignia 26lb portable silver) which beats replacing my freezer ice maker for less money and hassle. I like that its quick and can produce lots of ice in a short period of time. Here's a tip though. On my first use all ice went into the ice bin of my freezer. Next day when I went to get ice, it was ALL frozen together since the ice is still wet after its made. After looking at other reviews, do this -> Put ice in a gallon ziplock bag. Next day band on bag to separate the ice and THEN put it in the ice bin.

Makes ice very fast. Very sleek design, it very easy to use. Light machine so it makes it easy to clean.

So I gave this as a Christmas gift to my niece who has an obsession with ice, she can’t stop raving about it ,it’s the perfect size to put on her dresser and still make ice she says it=t can do big or little cubes,no water everywhere the ice is not cloudy

This was one of the best buys I have made in a long time. I love having Ice for my water, and my cats love ice water in their bowls when it's warm out. i was spending any where from $4 to $8 a week in the hot weather for bags of Ice. now i just make a few batches every other day, and never have to buy another bag. Already paid for it self.

We truly love our new ice machine! It's plug in easy to add water and the ice is amazing all our guests enjoy it! We bought it because the ice machine in our freezer went out and it was just easier we thought to buy our own ice machine for the house. It fits on any small counter space you have.

This is a really nice ice maker. I love the fact that it is so compact. It makes ice really fast. I use it daily. I saw the reviews and was somewhat skeptical because some times there are great reviews but they are fake! Not the case in this situation. The ice maker is beautiful, compact, and gets the job done.

Is an okay product for a small household i'd say 2/3 ppl at most well worth it when you get it at a discount is kind of slow in filling up a decent amount of ice cubes but it'll do it throughout the day make sure to have time to empty the bucket every 40 min or so and check the water level constantly!
