Sturdy, effective, easy to use and FAST
Sturdy, effective. Using daily, multiple runs (for 2 people drinking soda and iced tea each day) - its been a year now and it works great, cleans easily, makes ice so fast, easy to fill and empty, etc. Absolutely no issues with it. It does make a little noise - LOL - so it took getting used to ice drops at night - but not an issue at all. Would buy it again and again. If you had more people you may want a bigger version re: amount of ice per serving - but it literally takes only a few minutes to make a new set of ice. Its counter footprint is really nice - we have a teeny kitchen and it works great on what counterspace we have.

Bullet ice machine
Great ice machine. Pretty quiet, mostly ice dropping sound. Make great bullet ice quickly. I run it about 10hr a day & only refill the reservoir once, maybe twice. Make ample amount of ice for my family of 3. Good trusted name brand at a good price

Works great
I bought this Ice Machine on a Wednesday and said it would be delivered on Friday. It came the next day early in the afternoon. It's exactly what the seller described. It's quite and so easy to use. It's worth the money to make our own ice. We have been paying $8.00 for a 5lbs a day at gas stations and party stores in Michigan. The ice comes out clear and I can make 5lbs a day. I should have bought this years ago.

Durable (at the 13 month mark)
Great countertop ice maker. Perfect for summer months when our demand for ice outweighs the capacity of our built-in ice maker. We’ve had this for over a year now. It ran continuously for 5 months last summer/fall and it’s going on another 3 months this summer. We put it away for the winter because we don’t need the extra ice. Pros: Makes ice quickly that is fun sized and “chewable.” Perfect for all the iced tea I’m hooked on during the summer. Super fun to have extra, scoop-able ice on hand for our summer drinks. Cons: Our unit seems to get stuck - as in I need to manually push away the ice from the ramp or else the ice maker thinks the ice bin is full and will not make anymore ice. A minor inconvenience.Also, last week the ice maker stopped working properly- turning out very tiny ice cubes that melted too fast to use. I did some research into this and ran a batch of pure vinegar through the ice maker then flushed it out with plain water. Seems to have fixed the issue. Normal size ice cubes again. Voila! Also - when draining the unit of old water, but sure to keep it upright and use the drain plug to drain rather than tipping the whole unit over the sink to pour out old water. I was doing this for a while and may have jostled the coolant in the unit. I let it rest in its upright position for 24 hours, then plugged it back in and it has been fine. I’m not entirely sure whether the problem with the unusually small cubes were due to scaling build up or whether it was due to the coolant being disturbed, or both. Either way, letting it rest in its upright position and running a cycle with vinegar has fixed the problem. I’m happy that we’re halfway through our second summer and the thing is still working.I would recommend for others who have similar uses for the ice maker. Do not expect it to produce enough ice for a larger party or to fill up a cooler. Works great for a family of 4 for regular drinks.

Best ice maker!
The ice maker in the fridge went wonky and I want ice, so, I ordered this as a backup. Turns out, we LOVE it! It's quiet, it cranks out ice super quick. The ice is a mini version of what they have on airplanes. Ice circles, I guess you'd call them.

Junk. Don't buy.
JUST DONT BUY IT!!!So I've had this ice maker a little over a year now. At first it worked great. But after only a few months the sensor stopped working that tells you to add more water and it just keeps running even with no water in it. Which was fine whatever, I didn't let it run overnight or anything and was usually there when it was making ice so I just filled it up when it got low. Fast forward to now and I've been finding little pieces of metal at the bottom where the water goes into the reservoir. Not sure how long this has been happening but not happy that me, my husband and my kids have possibly been ingesting little pieces of metal which is giving me anxiety. It doesn't have any sort of self cleaning so you have to drain it and clean it out but who knows how the water lines get clean and if u don't wipe it dry occasionally or don't have it running constantly like me I'm sure mold can grow pretty quickly in it. I've tried to reach out to Frigidaire but they couldn't help me bc Curtis Igloo is the one who actually makes it. Tried to reach out to them and there was "no one to answer my call"So I'm pretty frustrated with it and feel like it was a waste of money to get this even tho reviews were "good".WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Go find a different better brand with better customer service.

If you're looking a reasonable price, ice as you need it, and reliability, this ice maker is a solid choice. It is well worth the price.
