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.

I’ve had bullet ice makers and sonic ice makers; this is better than bullets and pretty comparable to sonic. It’s nice! Love the clean cubes, makes ice fast, I set mine on the large cubes, they do not melt fast like the bullets. Look like glass. Easy to fill up with water. I use a magnetic thing, like the small magnetic pencil or sticky note holder that you see in school lockers or on refrigerators- it holds my scoop on the side!! I use either distilled or the spring water that my area has that flies free for all, I’ve used tap water too. All works great. Haven’t cleaned the machine yet, so unknown. My old sonic ice maker was a booger bear to clean. Ice does come off in sheets, but break really easy with my scoop. Very pleased so far!

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!

[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.

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.

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.

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.

I've only used it twice and so far so good I like it I like the square ice cubes and there solid too not those little hollow bullets I hate those hollow ice cubes ... Soo glad I found this ice machine that makes solid square ice cubes and it makes quite a bit on 1 tank of water... Like I said so far so good I love it and it's pretty quiet until the ice drops

So far, so great!. This thing has been turning out the ice. The ice drops into the bin which is not a freezer compartment. BUT, the melting is kept to a minimum because it is the same compartment that makes the ice so the compartment is cold. And has been mentioned, any water from the melted ice is reused to make more ice. Noise is not an issue and yes, there is noise when the ice drops into the bin. but it is not very loud. I don't know if it will make 40 pounds a day, but it makes a lot, the ice is cube shaped and mostly clear. This thing is without a doubt a keeper. I have only had it two weeks so the only question is longevity.

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.
