Wow! What a product. Unfortunately, the fridge in my apartment does not have an ice maker. Consistently filling up and emptying out ice trays has become tiresome and inefficient. This product from Frigidaire has been the perfect solution. Never again will I have a warm or even room temperature glass of water! If you are looking to ice up your life, go for this product.

Very disappointed in the way the cubes turn out. Cubes are not broken apart. They come out in a sheet and you have to pund on the to break them apart. Also if the sheet doesn’t slide out the way it shoukd the ice builds up even worse and has to be turned completely off and allowed to thaw.

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.

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!

It does make nice Clear cubes- and sheets. I would say about a 50/50 shot on getting cubes or an ice brick. If you get the ice brick you just got to turn off the machine until it melts enough to fall away from the cube grid. As for making 40 lbs of ice it may make that much but you can’t prove it by me. Last but not least, 2 short ice and brick filled months the machine decides it must pump water into the system as noisily as a teenager slurping the last tiny amount of slurpee slush from a never fully empty cup. Imagine it stuck on perptitial slurp for what feels like hours! ( may be as short as 2 -3 mins but dear Lord my nerves beg to differ!) Would NOT recommend for a friend. May recommend for the guy that cut me off in traffic! Looking for a new machine and hoping “that guy” buys this and gets the exact same issues! 2 stars because I do actually still get ice and bricks!

This ice maker is out of this world. Honestly, I may throw out my freezer. All I need is ice! With its sleek, stainless steel, silver finish, I am proud to invite guests into my home. Don't even get me started on the ice quality...other compact ice makers can't compare. The Frigidaire Compact Clear Square Icemaker truly delivers on the clear ice promise. You can see right through those cubes! Definitely recommending all of my neighbors purchase one of these guys

I paid cash for this icemaker. it replaced an old cheaper ice maker that made 26 lbs of cloudy cubes per day.. this machine is far superior. it has a compressor that makes clear cubes with no air in them to cloud the cubes. cubes last 5x longer. you can use clean tap water but im rich so I use bottled water at .69 per gal. keeps the machine cleaner. when you get it let it sit for a few hours so the compressor fluids can level out in the unit. I set miy unit for big cubes(6) harvest cubes and but them in the freezer. in a plastic grocery bag. I slam the bag in mt stainless steel sink to break up any cubes that stick together. makes drinks that are restaurant quality.. cubes last 5x longer and don't water down drinks. if you use soda like coke or 7up it wont take the fizz out of the soda. follow directions for draining unit wnen not in use. this is a great product at a reasonable price.

The Frigidaire Compact Clear Square Ice Maker is a high quality product and is an excellent addition to any kitchen, office, or dorm room. I love the stainless steel color which makes it look really sleek and matches with any room. It’s a little bigger than some of the other ice makers I’ve been looking at, which is great because it holds a larger capacity and makes up to 40 lbs of ice. It has a large clear window which makes it easy to see ice levels. Furthermore, its extremely quiet and won’t cause any loud disturbances like some other ice makers do. This Frigidaire ice maker gets to work quickly and makes square ice cubes in less than 15 minutes. I would especially recommend this for those who like to have entertain guests, because its much easier and more cost-efficient than buying bags of ice or using ice trays. It couldn’t be more convenient because it requires no installation and is really user friendly. I wish I had this in my dorm room in college! I would happily recommend this machine to anyone who wants to have fresh ice on hand. I am writing this review as part of a contest.

There are 2 of us living in an RV without an ice maker. I had my doubts that this would be able to keep up. I was wrong. We do use Yeti or similar cups and that keeps ice for long periods, but I am still amazed. It is loud, and we turn it off at night because it will wake you when the ice drops.

I normally don't write reviews, but I am so happy with this purchase. I've been looking for a countertop ice machine that resembles coffee shop ice for months now. I've tried several others to no avail. I finally purchased this machine and this makes amazing clear coffee shop style ice. This ice does not make drinks gunky and it doesn't stick together which makes a huge difference in drinks especially coffee - iykyk. I love this ice maker and hope it lasts. Have used a number of days so I cannot attest durability, but in terms of the ice cubes it makes, it is stellar.
