Frigidaire Countertop Portable, 26 lb per Day Bullet Ice Maker Machine (Black Stainless Steel)

Ice maker works great. I make 2 or 3 one gallon freezer bags and keep in freezer to use as needed.

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.

We have had this for about a month now and absolutely love it. I go thru a lot of ice during the day and it keeps up. We had talked about getting one for a couple of months but never used one before and wasn't sure how well they would operate. Our Air BnB on vacation had one and after using it for 2 weeks, we came to the conclusion that we needed to get one..very very convenient and puts out a lot of ice quick. We use it as our main ice source instead of the fridge ice maker. This would be great for a mini bar or dorm room as well. Even with as much ice as I use, we still only need to fill with water every day and a half. It takes up very little space and can be put just about anywhere there is a plug in. Melting ice drips back into the water tank so there is no loss of water if you don't use the ice and it knows when ice is being taken out and makes more. If ice is not being used, it doesn't keep making ice..it just goes into a 'sleep mode' as I call it, but as soon as you take ice out, it starts making ice again. Its very easy to clean (pretty much same as a coffee maker for hard water deposits) and without a doubt one of the most functional appliances we've purchased.

Works very well. It makes ice decently fast and before you know it you have ice for the rest of the week. I'm not sure about how long it will last so I'll have to come back and update the review but for now it's good. I got it at a good price as well. It's not very noisy and can pretty muched be moved anywhere there is power and water.

If you ever need a Countertop Icemaker , THIS is the machine for you ! The Icemaker in her Samsung Refrigerator took a dive . We purchased this machine after thoroughly reviewing the various Icemakers available and are more than happy with the choice . Makes a batch of Ice Cubes in around 7 minutes . Easy to clean , available in several finishes / colors to fit right in with the decor in your Kitchen , while not taking up alot of Counter space . QUIET operation . Can't say enough good things about this machine . And it's way less expensive than replacing the Icemaker in the Refrigerator .

Cumple su función, no siento que haga casi ruido, si tiene dos medidas de hielo pero es muy poca diferencia. Estoy feliz con mi compra. En la foto se ven los 2 tamaños de hielo.

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.

I wanted to reach out and share how much I love this new unit. It is absolutely wonderful and has freed up so much space in my freezer. I used to keep a large container full of ice along with several ice trays, but with this countertop icemaker, I have significantly more room. It is incredibly efficient and just keeps making ice. I think I have only had to fill the water reservoir twice. If the ice isn't used right away, it simply melts back into the reservoir and the machine uses that water to make more ice. I am very happy with this purchase!

Funciona muy bien, trabaja prácticamente día y noche y súper confiable. Me sorprendió gratamente. Detalles a considerar, solo fabrica los hielos, no los mantiene congelados. Antes de una reunión debes prender la máquina al menos una hora antes para que tenga su compartimiento lleno, la máquina se encarga de fabricar más hielo y llenarlo nuevamente. Produce una carga de 6 hielos pequeños cada 6-8 minutos, con dos cargas llenas un vaso mediano, recomiendo tengas almacenado en tu congelador para que no te haga falta, es muy buena máquina pero es pequeña.

Me encantó. La uso todos los días y la encuentro conveniente. Es muy silenciosa y ocupa poco espacio. Tengo otros productos de la misma marca y confío que este dure igual por mucho tiempo
