Portable Ice Maker with Scoop - Countertop Ice Maker with LED Control Panel & 1.5 Quart Water Tank - Ice Cube Maker Produces 26 Lbs. of Ice in 24 Hours with 9 Large or Small Cubes in 7 Minutes

I picked this up as a temp replacement for a failed fridge auto ice maker. I've been keeping my ice storage been full transferring ice from this as it's made because the built in is tray is not refrigerated and melts if it's left in. It works very well and quite fast with fresh torpedo ice production every 6min or so. I had my freezer ice ben filled in an hour with to water fills and run the unit once a day to keep me topped off The only minor cons I have is that the fan is a bit noisy and blows warm air out into my kitchen, but to be fair that is to be expected. And also no built in chiller to keep the ice from melting in it's storage tray. But as it melts it drips back into the water storage tank that directly below the slotted ice basket so there's really no issues. Overall this seems a solid ice machine unit and works as advertised. Worth the money!

I don't consider something a liquid to drink if it lacks ice. This machine works great and I love it dearly. I just was tortuted by a more expense NewAir Unit that ran 10 days, then it eventual replacement that was "Refurbished" to which I objected but got anyway. After the "runaround circuit of misery" by NewAir? The eventual Refurb "New Unit" arrived D.O.A. It turned on but the arms would not turn just like the junk unit I bought new. I finally bought this "Igloo- The Wirecutter Recommendation". I LOVE IT!!! It just keeps WORKING AND WORKING CRANKING OUT REALLY NICE ICE. Buy THIS ONE. Please read their EXCELLENT User's Manual. It's highly informative: tells you what to expect, troubleshooting tips, how to use the self-cleaning (easy) feature. It does take a very few minutes of no sounds before you hear it working this is normal. A tip I received from people experienced in buying ice machines: Get the extended warranty. I bought it for 3 years. I realized what a bargain and convenience this unit was compared to the cost and hauling of bagged ice. This wonderful machine also weighs 1/3 of the NewAir garbage. BUY THIS ONE! Update 2 years later: I bought this 12/21. Have used it 24/7 365 to perfection! Now close to two years later it malfunctioned and stopped making ice. The "people in the know" who said "always buy an extended warranty on an ice-maker were right! The warranty people are picking up the device from my home tomorrow for free and issuing me an Amazon credit for the full price to buy a new one. Honestly? Even for the time it worked perfectly non-stop it was worth the $145 or so I paid for it even if I wasn't getting a new one. The dependability and non-stop availability of ice nonstop without having to spend a cent on a bag and lug it around, then have it take precious space in. my freezer was divine. I am left with one confusion: My machine is the "Original Aqua (it might mention the arm) now at $172.00 (approx) I can pay the difference. But the page pulls up the $99 unit "Aqua Arm" or "with Aqua Arm." I would rather pay less, but in reading the reviews they were better for the more expensive unit I had, and the model numbers are similar but different: It is ICEB26HNAQ vs IGLICEB26HNAQ (Higher Price vs Lower Price) but I don't want to be a dummy and pay more if I don't need to, so I'll check with Igloo first comparing motors and here comparing dimensions. I don't want to screw up getting a machine that delivered beyond my wildest dreams because cash is tight. I retried the NewAir junk. It still never worked. I hate that company for charging more, delivering a dud and replacing it with a dud. They robbed me of about $200.00 and tortured me. Never had a functional machine. Stay away from New Air, they are thieves that make broken machines and run an unethical operation. I will bring this up every chance I get as I've never bought and been stuck and replaced and stuck with a lemon buying from ANY company. New Air are "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" as the song goes and are the more expensive choice! They cannot even begun to be compared to Igloo!

I bought this new, along with an extended warranty. A lot of ice makers seem to go out after a year. The one I bought -- Igloo in a light blue-- only lasted a month and a half before completely dying. I called Amazon customer service to inquire about the manufacturer's warranty. The agent said to use the extended policy, but I told her I did not think that would take effect until after the original manufacturer's warranty expired. She said she would send me another one, without charge, as long as I returned the one I had. So we went with that. However, I spent the next month trying to get rid of the horrible taste of the ice from the replacement. We kept running the cleaning system to no avail. Didn't help at all. Kept flushing it out. I called Amazon again, and asked if it might have been a "renewed" one, sent back and previously owned, and if they might have used some sort of cleaning agent in it. She said probably, and ended up refunding the original purchase price. So at that point, the machine owed me nothing. We tried flushing it out again, several times alternating between vinegar and lemon Juice, and it helped somewhat. We used it occasionally over the next two to three months, before the replacement ice maker also completely died. Could never revive it no matter what we tried. I have no idea what killed it, but the lifespan of the 2nd one of these received was also very short. I do not think these are well made at all. I'm shocked to see that so many customers gave it 4 to 5 stars. Maybe I shouldn't be griping since it was free after all, but it was also a total waste of my time and energy. These are fairly heavy to pick up and drain, etc. And I had hoped for ice. Just ice. With none of that horrible chemical taste. Nothing more and nothing less. That was what I bought it for. Igloo did not deliver the promised ice; instead, both of their machines died prematurely in the kitchen. They were never abused, just not well made. I really do NOT recommend buying any of these from this company. Their coolers are fine, but not their ice machines. Though I did like the pretty blue color.

I had a similar version icemaker to this, but it broke pretty quickly. This one is working really well so far, and I’m enjoying it. It does take some thorough washing and rinsing before the plastic taste is removed from ice, so heads up! Pros: It makes consistently thick, solid ice quickly. It isn’t terribly loud, and it’s well-made. Cons: the water reservoir feels like it could be deeper or wider, but overall isn’t terrible. The most annoying part is the plug at the bottom to drain the reservoir. It’s a pain in the butt to fit into the hole after you unplug it. It’s doable, but it’s a slippery little thin silicon or plastic thing that makes you work for it. Overall, I’m really pleased with this icemaker and would recommend anybody considering different brands to give this one a shot, even if it’s slightly pricier to some others.

We’ve only had it a couple weeks, buts working great! Hubby loves it!

just got it and it works good makes Ice within 20 minutes first time starting it up then 7 minutes each load after that

A beautiful machine.

This is the only portable ice maker on the market with a carrying handle. Very, very good investment.

We have an ice maker already by another brand. We bought this one for our seasonal property. Pros: -small and compact, much easier to empty excess water. -handle on it, so it can moved easily -green retro colour is attractive -works as expected Cons: -The buttons are confusing. We usually just unplug it to even turn it off. -We try to press power, hold the power button and it does not want to turn off. -Would probably need to access instructions every time to do something with the buttons.
