Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have thoroughly enjoyed having this portable ice maker for my RV. In spite of some of the reviews I read, it is quiet and makes plenty of ice in just a few hours. I highly recommend this particular machine!

Works great lasts long ! A little harder to clean so buy a bottle cleaner !

Quieter than last machine,produces quicker as well. Keeps girlfriend ice happy.

Makes great ice quick and easy to use. Would recommend.

Just the right size and I can bring it out for a party. Makes ice fast!

Works very good. easy to clean by pulling a small plug at the bottom. i come to the office ice cubes are ready. what more can one ask for. even the little cubes size work ok

Definitely a great little ice maker. And very fast! I had ice in like 5 minutes. Its quiet also.

Love that this is a quiet ice maker and the fact that it makes ice quickly! This is very important because I placed in my studio at the beach!

I really enjoy having this for having good times on Friday nights closento my patio chair. Don't need to go too far to get some ice for my drinks. It makes some ice every 7 to 8 minutes. I just add two bottles of water and enjoy ice on my drinks without problems. Now I will say that the only downside is that need to let the machine to make at least two set of ice because those are the ones that will keep the others longer, the first ones will melt a little too fast but after you are good to go.

Works great , easy install and all . Great product.

This ice machine is awesome! I always have ice. I bought this because I do not have a built in ice maker in my fridge and I love ice. I went to my friends house and they had one and I was like wait this thing just makes ice for you!? Another friend they told me they use it and they have the ice machine fridge. They said they didn’t like how the ice tasted so they got this and love it. I bought it with no expectations and it has been the best kitchen gadget ever. And I don’t really do a lot of kitchen gadgets. It’s quiet. It gives you the nice soothing sound of the ice being made. And ice is made fast.

Makes enough ice for one drink fairly quick. I let it run and put the ice cubes in the freezer. It is an ice maker not a freezer. If the ice cubes are not taken out they will melt and just recycle into the water reservoir and it’ll continue making ice.

This little ice maker is a beast! You have to keep up with its production to maximize output because it doesn't freeze the ice after production. I use it to bag ice in our pool house for the pool and boat coolers and it works great. I can make enough ice to keep my YETI 110 with silver bullets cool in just a few hours. We bag the ice for use later and that serves us best. some people complain of issues but I think that is because they let it sit. If you don't use it I would do what ever it takes to dry it out before next use!!

Makes ice super fast and is quiet and has had zero problems

I love this ice maker , just make sure you put distilled or spring water

Such a a great purchase!! My fridge is old and doesn’t have a lot of space for ice. So we use this on top of counter and it’s easy for me to use and the kids. Makes ice quickly.

Absolutely love this Ice Maker. I have one at home as well.

Overall this is a great machine! We've had a similar one (different brand) for several years and it's been a lifesaver as our refrigerator icemaker is very slow and has a small bin, so we were always running out of ice. I've managed to keep the old one alive by repairing it numerous times but the motor finally started to seize up and $50 to replace it I decided it was time for a whole new unit and chose this one. While Insignia is a 'house' brand, I've found their products to be of high quality and in many cases better than other name-brand products I've bought. So far this one has not disappointed. The good: the icemaker has a smaller footprint than our old one while maintaining the same capacity. It is also quieter and makes ice faster. The unit feels solid and appears to the made quite well. The only major difference is that the lid that covers the ice bin is not as substantial as our old one; this one is a single-layer of clear plastic and the old one was double-wall with a smaller, clear single-layer window. Thus far this doesn't appear to impact performance in any way. We've had the machine for about a week and it has been cranking out ice ever since and works very well. How long it will last and with how much maintenance remains to be seen. These units do require a lot of upkeep and need to be cleaned regularly (and they are not easy to clean either, but the effort is worth it to always have ice on hand.) This one looks like it will be even harder to clean than our old one due to the more compact design. While they took a lot of care in making the unit compact, it makes getting to the interior surfaces for cleaning a bit harder. The one not-so-good thing; the fill line. This may not be apparent to most, but this is actually a thing and it will make sense with an understanding of how these machines work. On our old machine, there was a tolerance between the fill line and the bottom of the ice basket. This is important because when the unit is running and making ice, it fills a troth (or bucket) in the upper part of the machine with water. When the cycle completes, it dumps that water out and it flows back into the reservoir. This bucket holds a good bit of water, so if you add water to the fill line while the machine is running there was enough room to hold that extra water without overflowing into the ice basket, On this new machine, there is NO tolerance at all, so if you notice the water is low and add more while it's running it will overflow into the ice basket when each cycle completes and the water is dumped. This has been the one most annoying thing about this machine and it will take me some time to figure out where the 'real' fill line should be. Otherwise, I have to turn the machine off completely, fill it to the line, then turn back on; that is the only way to ensure it doesn't overflow. I wish they had thought of this in the design as that would have made it a full 5-stars for me. Overall, I still like this icemaker and feel that it is superior to many of the other brands selling similar units for more money. I would definitely recommend this one as well.

Loved it for a time but after a year it has grown black mold in the back where I cannot reach to clean. It is the tub part that holds the water under the silver freezing tubes. When it’s off, I can only partially reach the tub to clean it and cannot find any information on how to disassemble it to clean it better. So I would say great purchase for 6-8 months and then it seems like you have to buy an entirely new one.

I like these little ice makers, but the only problem is. You get 1 good year and there done. I’ll keep coming back to buy another. Great price for awesome ice.
