This freestanding ice maker is a wonderful option when your freezer does not make enough ice. I purchased it for our office kitchen, because most of you know you cannot get people to empty ice trays!! We have an office staff of about 25 people and it has really handled the volume of ice users.
We use the large size of cubes, and it takes about 15 minutes to make. Keeping up with the emptying of the ice and the water filled has been a chore for a few of us, but you get used to keeping an eye on it. If it was also a freezer and you did not have to remove the cubes once they are made - I would give it 10 stars!

Great ice maker
We owned the smaller version of the Igloo brand, but this is a superior product. Although slightly larger, this ice maker makes more ice, holds ice longer before it melts and recycles, and is less noisy. It takes a few hours to get started properly, but once sufficient ice is made you'll have a steady supply. We found the small cube setting to be quicker and just the right size. We would buy this product again and Home Depot had the best price and free shipping to our door.

Broke after 5 months! Not good quality. No way to keep clean.
Purchased online from HD and after 5 months it started making a grinding noise when it was drawing up water. HD would not help with warranty and i had to go to the manufacture. Not sure it is worth spending $60 to send it to get fixed.

Igloo ice maker
Purchased this as a gift for my husband. It came a week before a party we were having. By the end of the week we had enough ice for all our coolers and then some!

Worth the money
When first starting up, takes a while. Once it's making ice, it puts it out in large quantities. We took a 3-week vacation and never once had to buy ice for our cooler while traveling. Advise using distilled water. Cubes are "wet" when emptying the bin, but drain excess water off and freeze them in a large Zipper bag and they are perfect.

Really nice small Ice Maker
I found this product on a number of sites but Home Depot has the best price by far. This ice maker does a nice job of making ice but I had hoped to use it by the pool and found that it was not insulated enough to handle temperatures in the 90's.
It would do well inside a house with air conditioning and make all the ice you might need. It is a well made machine so I think it would last for a while but I returned mine due to the circumstances in which I planned to use it.
It makes really nice cubes but outside they start melting rather quickly. If you made them and moved them to a freezer for a while they could last longer outside.

Amazed
When you factor in the savings on time and money buying ice at the store this is amazing value. Ice in 15 min or less.

Great ice machine
This has turned out to be more than I expected. The ice bucket is large enough to hold 2 beers as it fills with ice. Ice is made quick and I will never buy another bag of ice. I'm in an RV.

Received a DEFECTIVE ITEM
I'm so upset. I have yet to receive my items but this is just a review on the unprofessional. The ice-maker I received is defective and look like the machine been used. I tried to make ice for at least 20 mins and there was no ice just water. The water did not freeze at all! If it did work i would give this a 5 stars because the options were great but the machine was like a water container instead of a ice maker.

disappointed
I bought this for my office. I've only had it a couple months and it takes FOREVER to make ice. It used to be pretty good but now its terrible. I only used filtered water in it. It's never been used with any other water. I've cleaned it and everything. The metal things inside that freeze up to make ice just don't work right. Only a couple actually get cold enough ti make ice now. Terrible product. I recommend going \with a different brand.

Wish I could give zero stars!
Followed instructions to let unit sit upright before use two hours (it sat overnight). Filled with water per instructions and turned it on. It was supposed to make ice cubes in minutes. Two hours later it was filled with nothing but warm water and the unit felt hot. Boxed it up, took it back. What a piece of junk!

Worst purchase ever!
I used this ice maker for 4 months and it quit working. It is under warranty, but I am housebound and am unable to return it, nor do I have the means to pack it up and ship it for repair. I know it was inexpensive, but I thought I would get more than a few months' use out of it.

Igloo 26 lb portable ice maker
So far this ice maker has been very very good. The other reviews we're right about this unit. We always have ice on hand. Better quality than other ice makers with buttons on the top. We are very pleased with this ice maker

It just keeps making ice
Reason for purchase- we have a small cabin with a small fridge and a tiny freezer. That was entirely taken up with ice cube trays. Also to get to the freezer you need to open the main fridge door.
Does it work as hoped- YES. I filled the reservoir and after it had filled the ice basket, took over night, I moved that ice to my now near empty freezer. We then just let the machine do what it does, make ice we and use it what doesn't get used melt and recycles. We never did use any in the freezer and the maker kept up with my wife and I for the whole weekend.
Changes- would like to see if I can configure the drain port to hook up with a hose and valve so I don't have to carry it to the sink to drain.
Why I chose this unit- drain opening on the left side, exhaust fan on the left side. Larger "large" sized cubes than other units.

Great ice maker!
I purchased this ice maker because we were always having to buy ice at our summer home due to the non drinkable water there. This was a great purchase. Made ice in just a few minutes and kept us from repeatedly going to the store for more!

Works great and fast!
Nice looking machine. The cubes don't differ that much in size but it produces ice fast and works great for what we use it for at the cabin and get togethers. The key is colder the water you put in ice will start popping out in a few minutes time.

Stay away...........
What shall I say about this product? Bought this icemaker for the first summer patio party. Really looking forward to not having to make trays of ice and buying bags for the cooler. Filled the tank, plugged it in, and viola! Nothing.............even the "ON" button doesnt work, or any of the other buttons. Dead as a doornail, off to the store to return this POC. Only bright spot was Home Depot took oit back no quesitons asked. Off to the store to buy ice.................
