IglooAutomatic Ice Maker, Self- Cleaning, Countertop Size, 26 Pounds in 24 Hours, Cubes 7 Minutes, LED Control Panel, Scoop Included, Perfect for Water Bottles, Mixed Drinks, Stainless Steel

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!

The size of the ice maker is great for the counter. I love the way you can change the size of the ice. It looks great in my space. It makes plenty of ice daily. It self cleaning feature works well. The amount of water is good and easy to fill and the machine is easy to handle. It's a great weight of the countertop.

I was going to leave a bad review, but after using it a few times, I figured out how to get the best from this little machine. What I learned is that it takes a couple of cycles before the machine is operating at its best. So, the first few dumps, I just let the ice fall back into the water reservoir. After that, this thing hums along and makes perfect ice. It works much, much better than my freezer ice maker or filling ice trays. Plus I can use filtered water (which I highly recommend). Every four or five cycles, I gently shake the water out of the basket and dump the basket into my freezer ice reservoir. I use the scoop to stir the ice around in my freezer to keep it from sticking together. I just let the ice maker run for two or three hours and I have enough to last me a week or two. If I get distracted with something and the basket fills up, it will shut down and wait for me to empty it. The ice can be in there for a while without melting. Very happy with this ice maker.

Funciona al 50% tarda demasiado para hacer unos 9 hielos aprox 15 min y son muy pequeños y los pequeños son aún más pequeños la verdad la compré por el precio de haber sabido que no funcionaba bien la devolvería sin embargo ya pasó el periodo de prueba de 30 días , no la recomendó

Great delivery & a great producty

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 expectedCons:-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.

Loved it at first but now having full ice lights but is actually empty. Tried cleaning sensors with wet microfibre cloth, only ran for about two more weeks and now it will not pass it’s automatic self checks. Not functional and less than 2 years old, original price was $249 very expensive way to make ice cubes. Would not recommend this.

We got this to replace our last ice maker (Frigidaire/Igloo ICE103) which we used a lot over the last 4 years -- I thought it was the same size, but it is actually smaller which I'm sure will be fine... I liked the idea that it had a cleaning function but it still requires manual draining -- but while our last machine has a drain in the side (with a screw-on cap and a rubber plug under it -- so two steps to get it open) this one is rather inconveniently placed on the underside of the machine! And the instructions don't actually explain how to get the plug out - nor that it is just one piece and as soon as it's out the contents will come splashing out! Since I had to clean the machine before using it - the experience was messier than I expected.
