Customer Ratings & Reviews

The ice maker makes ice in about 7 min and I fill my freezer ice container after 3 basket fulls. The noise is not really noticeable and size is very convenient. I cleaned with soap and water since it says you can’t use vinegar and ice had no smell from batch 1. Great buy. I don’t know why I didn’t get sooner Cons is ice scoop doesn’t have a holder Machine can’t keep ice frozen (not advertised, but would be nice)

Really like it. Super easy to use and clean and makes cute cone shaped ice. I just wish when it said out of water that it would actually clear out all the water so that I could leave it to air dry.

Fantastic gift! The ease of this item the best. It produces ice quickly and is simple to operate. Compact and does not take up much space.

Great for what we need it for! Relatively quiet and makes ice! If you take some out, it automatically starts making more!

This works amazingly we don’t leave it on until we can keep up with the making of ice then put ice in ziplock bags and start again. So far it’s been great We actually love it glad we got it cause we been wanting one but reviews weren’t good but believe me i would tell you if it wasn’t a good product

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.

I love this little guy!! It makes ice quickly and we use it up on these triple digit summer days!! Easy to operate. Keep it filled up with water every morning and evening. It’s worth the price! Great size for my small household of 2.

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.

Excellent for my college student! She has to have ice in her yeti ALWAYS & they wont let her leave with ice at the school (even though we paid for it), so we decided this would be a good gift for Christmas & she lo es it. It makes ice quickly & quietly and also easy to use.

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.

I love this lil ice maker. Love how compact it is and not as loud as the other ones. Can’t beat the price!

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 love this little ice maker! Perfect size for my counter and two different sizes of ice makes it just right for my family! After the first batch, it cranked up the ice production! I usually turn it on about 30 minutes before dinner and by the time we sit down, the ice bin is almost full! Just make sure you are using purified drinking water to fill it or your water line could get clogged. A great product, that I do recommend!

Less expensive than repairing the ice maker in my fridge. Makes ice quickly and is easy to use. doesn't take much room on the counter.

Works as it should. Quickly makes ice and is quiet while running other than when the ice dumps, as expected.

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 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).

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.

Works perfectly! Easy, quiet, quick. I use filtered tap water, and so far have had zero issues with this machine.

Nice little counter top icemaker. Makes ice quickly. I hate my fridge ice. This ice tastes fresh and the two different options for size are nice.
