Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this after my refrigerator died and borrowed someone's mini fridge while waiting to find any full sized refrigerator to be in stock. Obviously I'm being a little facetious, but I wasn't going to go for a small refrigerator that landlords and apartment complexes buy to cheap out on tenants. Anyways, while waiting to get a refrigerator for my home, I was supplementing a mini fridge with a cooler to keep items that should be kept cold but don't need a consist low temperature (eg fruit, condemints, etc.). Given I knew I would need to use the cooler for at least a month, I opted to buy this rather than buy ice from a store. 30 days was the brake even point to justify buying an ice maker. I'm glad I bought this. I've used it much longer. As far as how well this runs, it can fill the bucket in about an hour, putting out nine bullet shaped ice cubes at a time. I never timed how often, but I think it's about every five minutes. The machine does not keep the ice frozen, but as the ice melts, it drips back into the reservoir so shouldn't pose a problem if you are just taking the ice directly from the machine. I was taking the bucket out to dump it into a cooler, so I was aware of the fact of how much water drips from the bucket if you wait for it to completely fill before taking it out. The machine can make two different sizes, but I've only done the larger size. I don't know if it remembers what size you've last had it made, it was the size that it went to when I first turned it on and given I was primarily just dumping the ice into a cooler, I just left it on that setting. The machine does get loud when it drops the ice, then again when it moves the ice into the bucket, but other than that I don't have any real complaints about this ice maker.

Perfect sized ice maker (compared to the huge ones) that can be stored on a cabinet when not in use. Love the ice it produces. Takes a bit of time to make alot. So if your hosting a party, prepare early and make ziploc bags of ice. That way you'll have plenty by the time the party starts!

Works quickly and works quietly. Doesn't hold enough ice to host a party, but it is enough to supplement our fridge whose ice maker takes forever and can sometimes not make ice.

Good for small gatherings and easy to use. Two size options.

Good not great. It makes bullet ice which is nice. The cleaning can be tedious and it gets funky pretty quick. Hard to tell what gets disinfected and what doesn’t with the sealed system

Purchased this machine so I could always have ice available. Works great.

this is better than i expected. the icemaker easy to use and able to make different size selection in making ice. compact but does a great job

Makes ice super fast, easy to set up and easy to use. I also like how narrow it is so it doesn’t take up as much counter space.

This is an good icemaker, very easy to use, and it does what it needs to do. No problem.

Very easy to use machine. Ice is perfect. Nice size for easy storage.

This machine is a must have for any small party, is very easy to use and small so it doesn't take a lot of space. All I recommend is putting this machine making ice very early to have enough.

I bought one for the cabin. Already loved the one we had on our home. The kitchen we currently had fidge space wasn't wide enough to justify a fridge with an ice maker. So it works perfectly till the kitchen can be redone. There was a broken screw top in the box works fine, hopefully it's not from the actual machine. Fingers crossed.

Excellent machine. It runs quietly. It has 2 different size setting but I don’t notice a difference in the size of the ice when switched. It also works fast. You get ice within 6-8 minutes

This icemaker is replacement #3. Apparently, even if you are careful and clean them often, they last almost a year. I only use filtered water. The other two Frigidaire so I'm giving Insignia a try. I could install an icemaker in my Freezer, but the logistics of my clunky kitchen make that impossible. I've five starred this one because so far, it's adequate for the job. It makes ice fast, large and small, and I can keep the ice bucket full on a daily basis. One can't ask for more.

makes a lot of ice in a little amount of time. Simple to operate and clean. Overall a good buy !

I have two refrigerators at home - dedicated refrigerator and freezer but no ice maker in either. I decided to finally purchase a dedicated icemaker because I was tired of making ice from ice cube trays. After much research and reading the reviews on this particular icemaker, I decided to order it. Not only is this icemaker affordable but so far the ice it makes is good. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable icemaker as well as something that just works, I highly recommend giving this unit a try!

This is a very good portable ice machine. It makes about 1 cup of ice every 10 min. It is quite and very easy to operate. It also makes soft ice.

This ice maker works amazing for any house gathering.

Probably my best purchase of the year. My fridge doesn't have an ice maker and this little guy has really made it convenient to add ice to my drinks. I don't have to worry about filling out the ice molds and put them in the freezer, etc. It doesn't take much room and it's easy to refill and clean.

It is perfect for my family of two right now. It fits perfectly on my counter and I absolutely love the mint color. My only dislike of this product, is how the ice begins to melt after it drops.
