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.

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.

So far, so good. I like the fact that it makes 18 cubes at a time. They do come out stuck together, but are easily broken up if needed. I use a big glass and just slide a couple of sheets of ice and I'm good to go. This will be running 24/7, so, I'm hopeful for a long life.

i enjoyed it but it didn’t last long. i bought this about a year and a half ago. it puts out plenty of ice and i like the features such as how much it will freeze ice cubes before dumping them. So, if you want very thin or very thick its easy to do. The problem is that the compressor is still working but water is not circulating. i think the pump is shot. I would suggest cleaning it each month if you have hard water like we do here. I'm sure the calcium deposits didn't help. The icemaker was one of my favorite appliances so ill probably get another but not this one.

I love it. However, the only instructions were in Chinese and it took a lot of searching YouTube to find a tutorial about my particular model by someone who knew what they were doing. Do your research ahead because there are so many unanswered questions online. And so many makes and models.

Excellent ice maker that churns out ice cubes in a 24 hour span. Fantastic for dinner parties and cookouts, easy to move so people don't crowd around the freezer. Creates more room in my freezer as well so I'm not taking up space with ice trays! *This review was written as part of a contest

Bought this as a gift for Mother's Day and was very excited when it came in just in time. However, I was extremely disappointed when I opened it and discovered that the unit was not only broken but also clearly used and very dirty. The window on the door had a large crack in the plastic from one end to the other. The sides of the machine were scratched and had had large dents in several places. From what I've seen in the comment sections apparently, this is a pretty common problem.

Quiet machine. Efficient with power. Nice ice cubes. They are clear. small, hard cubes. You do have to break apart the cubes (its like coming out of an ice tray), but this isn't hard to do. The cubes will slowly melt if you leave them in too long or don't use them but the water is recycled back into ice. It stops making ice once the basket is full and wont make more till open the door and take some out. It's a nice looking machine too!

If you’re an ice aficionado like me, then you’ll love this compact ice maker. It has a sleek stainless steel exterior with a window so you can watch the ice being made or check out how much ice has been made. The ice can be made in deeper (+) or shallower sizes (-) and comes out clear-colored and cubed, like professional models in fountain drink machines. The Frigidaire technology removes the minerals and oxygen from the water causing the cloudiness in most ice cubes so that these come out see-through clear. The ice maker is a great size. It can make 40 lbs of ice in 1 day and is still compact sized. Great for making lots of ice for parties the day before and continue during the party itself. No more mid-party ice runs. The 1 gallon water reservoir holds enough water that you don’t feel like you’re constantly refilling the machine. The ice comes out in sheets that sometimes breaks into pieces when it falls into the ice basket. Usually, I have to use the scooper that comes with the ice maker to break apart the ice. The 2.4 lb capacity is roughly four sheets of ice. When you turn on the machine, the initial warm-up takes about 15 minutes to make the first sheet, and 10 minutes for each sheet after that. Takes about 45 minutes to fill the whole ice basket before the machine automatically shuts off so that you don’t overfill the machine. Not a problem if you’re constantly using the ice while it is freezing. The top of the inner basket line is where the ice maker will turn off if you’re not using the ice and still have water in the reservoir. Like that you can take out the basket and scoop out the ice that way. I am writing this review as part of a contest.
