Seems to work well. It makes a lot of ice quickly and that is our %231 necessity for our household. The water capacity could be a bit larger. It seems to hold less than what is stated. Could be more stylish for the price. I purchased the 3 year warranty just in case. Overall, I would recommend.

I love this ice maker! It really does what it claims! 40 lbs of ice a day. The set up was easy and worked right away. I own several of the Bullet type ice machines and because of the many moving parts they seem to be less efficient and break after a few months of use. i really love this design with very few moving parts.

Works as advertised, but note that countertop units (all brands/models) are not a "set it and forget it" machine. If you want an ice maker that has on demand ice sitting in it ready for you 24/7 (i.e. equivalent of a freezer ice machine), these units are not a great option because they a) require constant attention (filling water, emptying ice bin) and b) are not cold/insulated enough in the bin to keep the ice from melting throughout the day. The unit does work perfectly though to fill up an existing freezer, or to supplement an existing automatic ice maker, or during parties/high demand periods whereby the ice will be used before it melts in the bin (note it takes hours to melt, so the ice remains perfectly usable as long as you either use it, or empty the bin in a reasonable time). The machine makes clear, square(ish) ice the size of a quarter (see pics). It does not make perfect, evenly sides squares, it makes parallelograms with a dimple on 1 side (dimple visible in pics). The timer(cube size) button does not change the cube dimensions, it simply determines how full or empty that dimple is when the ice ejects by shortening or lengthening how long the water runs over / fills in the grid. The machine is not noisy, but you can hear the fan in a quiet room. If a TV is on, you won't notice the machine at all (except when the ice ejects into the bin). Some reviews note a problem with the ice sticking and not ejecting into the bin. I've yet to encounter this issue. My guess is they did not level their unit. it is important to make sure the unit is level during use as the design uses gravity to fill the cubes AND to eject. If the unit is not level, the water will not fill the grid evenly, some cubes will be thicker than others, or worse, if the unit is tilted backwards, the angle won't be enough for the ice to fall out during thaw/eject cycle. Simply make sure you put it on a level surface and that the water is running over each column of cubes evenly and you won't have stuck ice. I prefer the -6 (fastest) setting as the ice is easy to break up and is more chewable, have had zero issues with the unit so far, and would recommend for persons who a) have no (or a broken) freezer ice maker, need to supplement an existing freezer unit, or have frequent need of on demand ice during parties/events.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked great the first day. Now has been making a high pitched whining noise constantly. This isn’t my first countertop ice maker. It’s not overfull, it’s level, everything is right. Just seems like we got a dud.

Bought this unit to replace one that had begun putting air in the cubes. This one also made white ice instead of clear. Tried different sources of water, different freeze times and different locations within the house. Nothing worked, so I returned the unit - a very easy process, thank you Walmart. My problem probably has to do with my water supply and not the ice makers.

I normally wouldn't review a product that has not been in use for such a short period of time. The ice maker has only made 1 round of ice. So far I am impressed with the results. I think that after I'm able to dial it in for size, it will be a very purposeful piece of equipment. The rather low rating is because I really haven't had much chance to put the unit through it's paces. I like it better than the other one I have, it makes the cloudy ice. Ice is very clear and hard cubes with this machine. I think it will be okay.

While it came with a dent in one side, it didn't affect the ability of this icemaker to fulfill its purpose! It's as beautiful as it is functional. The temp can be adjusted if the ice isn't solid. It takes about 8 minutes for the first cubes to produce. There is also a beep that lets you know it's time to empty the ice bucket - then it continues making ice once it's emptied.

I ordered a smaller cheaper model before ordering this one, but it never made a single cube of ice so it was returned. However, I did learn about “clear” ice so I decided to pay a little more and buy a clear ice machine. I’m happy with this machine overall for the price. It’s a little slow but it does the job. I guess it would make 40 pounds in a day if you stayed up for 24 hours, but I just run it for a few hours and put the ice in big freezer bags in the garage freezer to stockpile it. It does, as others say, make ice in a sheet but it’s easily broken apart with the included scoop. I use tap water for the medical ice machine, and bottled water for drink ice cubes.

The ice maker stopped making ice after 2 weeks of use. I had already thrown the box away because I would have returned it for another one. This one could have been just defective. Other than that I love the ice maker when it did work. It made the perfect size clear ice.

The ice maker in my frig doesn't work and had used a smaller one of another brand. Frigidaire is a good brand and this ice market was a larger style than the other. It is simple to use, fairly easy to clean, and makes lots of ice. It has done a super job this summer with the 100 degree days we have had. Very pleased with this purchase!
