This Frigidaire stainless steel ice maker gets the job done. My fridge at home is very old (i mean very old) and the ice making section is barely functioning at all. I like how quick and simple it is to make the ice when I need it. It is also perfect for BBQ parties when you need to have ice for a large group of people. I am writing this review as a part of a contest.

Yes, it makes a lot of ice. Yes, the ice comes out in blocks that can be difficult to break up. Yes, the clear ice is much better than the cloudy bullet-shaped ice from most other countertop machines. Yes, sometimes it freezes up if the shutoff switch gets blocked. Yes, it's a good idea to remove the ice and transfer to the freezer. I don't recommend leaving it on longer than it takes to fill up the basket.

I was somewhat skeptical that this would product would produce what was advertised, but I tried it one day and I was impressed. It appears that if you remove ice every 2 hours you should be able to make 40 pounds. I made approx 10 pounds and was satisfied. Great machine! Thumbs up for me!

I have had other countertop ice makers and this one is far superior to any others. It is fast and the ice is nearly clear. Only drawback, which doesn't bother us, is that it drops a sheet of cubes and they need to be broken up. Not a big deal as they break easily when put in ice bucket or plastic bag. Walmart has a very fair price for this unit, and no shipping charge. Buy it!

It works well, fairly quiet. I do not lind the little bit of white noise it creates. Only downfall is that the ice does not come out in pieces. That does not bother me though, it breaks apart easily enough. We also bag it and use it in the cooler. The cubes last and do not melt fast like the bullet ice makers.

It's a good ice machine. My only criticism is that the ice comes out with the cubes still stuck together. And the ice is a little drippy with water. We just broke the pieces apart with a butter knife and it was good to go. I would still rather break the cubes apart than have to run to the store for a bag of ice. I'm glad we purchased.

I like the clear ice cubes that melt slower than the air bubble-infused cubes from the competition. It's a plus that the icemaker has a larger daily production than most. The 1/2 gallon plus reservoir is enough, even if other units have a higher capacity. You have to periodically bag up the cubes anyway -- you can refill the water if needed -- during bagging. It seems like a quality piece of equipment but have only had it for a short time. So far really pleased.

The idea of having another appliance living in the city is brutal, however I was pleasantly surprised at how compact the Frigidaire 40lbs Compact Clear Square Ice Marker-Stainless Steel was. Counter space and storage come at a premium in a city, but so is refrigerator and freezer space. I do not have a built in ice maker in my fridge and I also do not have a lot of space in my freezer for ice trays. Walking to the store and carrying home 5 lb bags of ice is also not ideal. This is a great alternative to all the above. The set up was quick and straight forward. Filling the ice maker with water was super easy and the electronic LED controls were simple to operate. I was impressed at how quickly the first tray of ice was formed - it was less than 15 minutes. It was also entertaining to watch. Almost like magic. The basket held a lot of ice. The quality of the ice was great as well. The ice cubes were very clear in color and square in shape. On top of all the great features, the machine was very quiet while it was running. The stainless steel body of the machine also matches great with my kitchen decor. I would highly recommend the Frigidaire, 40lb Compact Clear Square Ice Maker in Stainless Steel for anyone who is limited in space, owns a fridge lacking an ice maker, likes to host and not have to carry 40 lbs of ice home and likes clear, square quality ice cubes.

Frigidaire changed my life. After years of spilling water and breaking ice trays I decided enough was enough. I finally got myself an ice maker, and boy am I happy I did. Fresh Ice everyday, and no hassle. I am in love with my Frigidaire ice maker. Easy to use, easy to clean, works great, and looks amazing! What more can you ask for? You can't, this thing is better than sliced bread.

After 7 months the machine wouldn't drop ice so it continues to form into a huge solid chunk. I loved this machine sooo much... I did buy the warranty but walmart says it should still be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Good luck finding a number to contact them. It makes plenty of ice 😅😅 ( no pun intended) but trying to get in touch with someone is almost non-existent
