Frigidaire 26 Lbs per Day Portable Compact Maker, Ice Making Machine, Stainless, Medium

makes perfect ice, and pretty quiet. Ice does start to melt after a while but that makes the water colder as well so it recycles that energy ... takes around 8 minutes to make a batch , each batch is plenty to fill a glass and make a perfect drink . I personally just fill solo cups then put them in a freezer so they are ready to use anytime... works great!

Love this ice maker. I purchased it in May 2026. I have no problems with it what so ever. I clean it manually every 3 weeks and do not depend on the cleaning function, i just feel i have to get in there good with a sponge. Its performs amazing, its plugged in 24/7 it does not keep the ice frozen but the ice doesnt last in my house so its not a problem for us. It runs quietly obviously except for then the ice drops. Its a good size and fits well at my coffee station. When I bring it over to the sink to clean its not that heavy. Everyone at home is happy we have ice 24/7. I fill it with water from our gallon dispenser. One of the best purchases ever. Really happy with it and definitely recommend.

I bought this a year ago and it's still just working away making ice. The ice has gotten smaller but that is entirely my fault because I didn't know how to properly clean it. It still makes ice just fine it just makes smaller cubes and we use a LOT of ice. I had neck cancer in 2008 and because of the radiation treatment my salivary glands no longer produce saliva so I have to keep my mouth and throat moist with something and I like to chew ice so we got this machine and I don't have a single regret. I do wish we had the space for an under counter one so it could be hooked up to a water supply meaning I didn't have to add water frequently but for the price you just can't beat this one.

This does work pretty well and it pumps out ice. Have to keep it in perspective. This isn't going to work at an industrial rate. It would take you a day to fill up a 10 pound bag and you will need to unload the tray every 10 mins. The cubes are smallish. Good sized and for sure better than not having ice.

Makes ice very fast! It has very simple, intuitive controls, and looks pleasing enough on the counter. Additionally, it's fairly quiet. Obviously, there's a fan the pulls air across the condenser, but it's not intusive or obnoxious. Likewise, the compressor is noticeable, but very much in the background. It's so unobtrusive, that after a while, you really only notice it makes any noise when you shut it off. You notice it's absence more than its presence. The trade-off, of course, with making ice this quickly, and a design that deposits the ice in a basket that sits above the fresh water (as almost all of these ice makers do), is that the ice is basically right at freezing temperature, whereas ice from your kitchen freezer with be much colder (and also takes longer to make). But, with the quantities it produces, it's a good trade-off. I've only been using it a few days, so I can't speak to long term reliability or durability. But, its performance is surprisingly good!

This little ice maker is fantastic. It’s compact so it doesn’t take up a ton of space on the counter. It couldn’t be easier to use. Plug it in, fill with water and around 8 minutes later you have ice. It makes 9 dome shaped cubes per batch. It has two size options, but the large isn’t that big. Comes with a scoop to remove from the catch basket for ease of use. I’ve found that the ice will melt quickly, but I’ve put batches in some ziplock freezer bags and let them freeze fully. It helps keep the ice from melting so quickly (and you can build up a supply if you need it). Much better quality ice than bagged ice and much easier to use. I haven’t had it very long, but so far it’s been a great purchase.

Not knowing much about countertop icemakers, I turned to my Consumer Reports subscription and discovered that this unit was listed as a "CR Recommended" machine. Unlike many of the units, this one has about twice the water capacity than most of them out there. It also makes ice extremely fast. I had pictured having to have the unit turned on all the time and really didn't want that. It turns out they tell you to transfer the ice to your freezer which is exactly what I wanted. So in the matter of a couple hours it makes enough ice to fill our in-door ice hopper and we drain the machine and prop the lid open so it will dry out. A hopper full of ice last us a few days. One of the negatives of this and probably all of these units is that it produces wet ice which will freeze together in your freezer (see pictures) however they break up easily with a butter knife or even the ice dispenser itself seems to be able to break it up. Why the wet ice? If you look at my second photo you will see several metal rods poking down. These have freon passing through them and get very cold. Water is pumped from the reservoir directly below the basket into an upper tray. The compressor turns on and the rods get super cold. Ice forms and in less than 10 minutes the compressor turns off, the water drains back down into the reservoir and the ice on these rods slips off into the tray. The air in the unit really isn't cold so the ice is wet. It then gets pushed into the tray and it starts all over again. The manual says the ice will last in the tray 18 hours but I move the full tray into our freezers hopper as soon as it is full where it sticks together. I think this explains why you have to smash commercial ice bags to break them apart as they are probably made the same way. I love the fact it was recommended by CR and the familiar Frigidaire name...as opposed to XFUNDUICE or something silly like that. I also love the price point, especially since some of the other CR Recommended units were over $700 and there was one that had the same exact rating number that was over $300! It comes with a 1 year warranty but for something like $30 you can extend it 2 years. That is probably not a bad deal but I had a hard time spending 30% more since it will pay for itself (based on purchasing ice from the gas station as we have been doing) in a few short months. Oh, and shame on the well known appliance company that won't stand behind our 2020 covid-built refrigerator with built-in icemaker. The only reason their repairman is lonely these days is because they refuse to honor warranty claims.

This is the second one of these I ordered. The first one was completely fine, it was out of warranty and I had to replace a microswitch and it lasted another year. The second one stopped working in less than 6 months so I put in a warranty claim. After weeks of back and forth I finally got a claim number and then was informed I would have to ship it back at my cost. It cost $64 to send to the warranty location. It's been there for 12 days and I STILL have not heard back or received any news on when I am getting my replacement. I love the product but the customer service is some of the worst I've ever encountered. I am furthermore upset that they made me pay to send it back. It is almost the cost of the item itself. Stay far away from customer service on this one. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the product works well. The next time I will be buying from another company.

This was all I dreamed it would be. Fast ice making, large enough capacity area to make multiple "loads". It paid for itself this summer (as opposed to buying bags of ice. Some have complained that the ice starts melting right away. It's really not that bad. I use a plastic container in my freezer and dump when I remember it's ready. One pro tip. If you put the basket in and it still won't go, take basket out, and place it straight level down. I had one episode where one edge of the basket got caught on the edge, and as soon as I repositioned it, it was fine. This thing has literally been running 24/7 since I bought it (I think it was in may.). It's my favorite purchase that I've gotten a lot of use out of. It's also whisper quiet, except for the quick dump in the basket of the cubes. The large cubes are also perfect for most med. To wide mouth water bottles. It's made a huge difference in my water consumption (our water tastes like crap, and it's undrinkable room temp. I would DEFINITELY recommend this one.

Machine réponds à mes attentes

Does a good job, really not for small kitchens but we bulk make and store it otherwise

Llevo más de un año con el y los hielos son medianitos pero me encantan. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

This is beautiful BUT is only 114 voltage, has an American plug, and requires a transformer. Because of the massive amount of space needed for everything, I had to return it.
