The unit makes ice as described; however, the effort of perserving the ice is not worth the money spent for the unit. The spheres will melt if not stored soon after being made. My opinion is that the more economical and fastest way of making whisky spheres will be to use multiple ice molds.

I had a party over the weekend and this was great to have on a hot summer night. It was a great addition to have in addition to the ice in the freezer. It makes big balls which is good when drinking. With having four kids this is also great to have in the summer because we go through so much ice and the balls even fit in my kids water bottles. It’s quiet and fits perfectly next to the fridge. A great thing is it comes with tongs that never lose a grip when picking up the ice?. The machine is cute. You do have to fill up the bottle tray with water but the light tells you when it’s out. There are also lights to tell you when the basket is full. A great addition!

I don't have an ice maker and trays are too inconvenient. Enter this beast of an icemaker. it makes awesome round iceballs which look great and impress. The machine has a good capacity for a small family and is not loud at all. fits perfect on a countertop. a must have for summer gatherings.

Maybe it’s just my machine but it shuts off constantly. It will make 7-8 cubes then shut off unless you empty the bin. It supposed to hold twice that amount. I’m taking this one back for a refund today. As I have ordered a different brand to try. Also this machine does not make ice as fast as it claims.

When I first got this, it worked great. Fast forward two months, the compressor no longer works. The machine was never laid flat for an extended period of time then plugged in.

This ice machine is perfect for alcoholic beverages. drinking them out of glasses wonderful it doesn't dilute as much. it makes a lot once it's going.

A gift…Only had up and running for 6 weeks and stopped working. Took it to warmth for return or exchange and bemidji store would not return without receipt and it was a gift.

I need an ice maker for green tea, my husband need one for whisky. This machine can make neat ice compare to the stinky ice from fridge. It comes with everything pre assembled. Very easy to use.

This ice maker is great and this brand is great. I also have a nugget ice maker from them and it produces ice very quickly. I have no complaints about either of these ice makers

I am very impressed with this Frigidaire Gallery Artisanal Clear Sphere Ice Maker! It makes beautiful, clear round ice spheres much faster than I expected. I mainly use it when making homemade ice cream, and it works perfectly to keep everything cold without watering it down. The machine is easy to operate, and the design is very sleek and modern, which looks great in my kitchen. It doesn’t take up too much space and fits nicely on the countertop. The ice quality is excellent, and the process is very consistent. I highly recommend this ice maker to anyone who needs reliable, quick ice production at home. It’s definitely worth the investment!
