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!

I was so nervous on what brand to get when getting ice maker. We were getting for a Christmas present for my parents so of course quality was important. So far this one has been amazing. My parents absolutely love it. Makes plenty of ice, they only make ice a few times a week. Ice last in their cups doesn't melt quickly. Also they have no had any issues with the ice clumping together once placed in their freezer. Product looks nice sitting on the counter, doesn't take up much space. It's super easy to use and works great. If you are looking for an affordable yet good quality ice maker this one is the way to go. 10 out of 10 recommend

I bought this new, along with an extended warranty. A lot of ice makers seem to go out after a year. The one I bought -- Igloo in a light blue-- only lasted a month and a half before completely dying. I called Amazon customer service to inquire about the manufacturer's warranty. The agent said to use the extended policy, but I told her I did not think that would take effect until after the original manufacturer's warranty expired. She said she would send me another one, without charge, as long as I returned the one I had. So we went with that. However, I spent the next month trying to get rid of the horrible taste of the ice from the replacement. We kept running the cleaning system to no avail. Didn't help at all. Kept flushing it out. I called Amazon again, and asked if it might have been a "renewed" one, sent back and previously owned, and if they might have used some sort of cleaning agent in it. She said probably, and ended up refunding the original purchase price. So at that point, the machine owed me nothing. We tried flushing it out again, several times alternating between vinegar and lemon Juice, and it helped somewhat. We used it occasionally over the next two to three months, before the replacement ice maker also completely died. Could never revive it no matter what we tried. I have no idea what killed it, but the lifespan of the 2nd one of these received was also very short. I do not think these are well made at all. I'm shocked to see that so many customers gave it 4 to 5 stars. Maybe I shouldn't be griping since it was free after all, but it was also a total waste of my time and energy. These are fairly heavy to pick up and drain, etc. And I had hoped for ice. Just ice. With none of that horrible chemical taste. Nothing more and nothing less. That was what I bought it for. Igloo did not deliver the promised ice; instead, both of their machines died prematurely in the kitchen. They were never abused, just not well made. I really do NOT recommend buying any of these from this company. Their coolers are fine, but not their ice machines. Though I did like the pretty blue color.

Trying to contact the company. Machine stopped making ice after 5 months of use. Noisy as well.

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 devolverÃa sin embargo ya pasó el periodo de prueba de 30 dÃas , no la recomendó

I've only had it for a day but filled a bag of ice last night. Worker perfectly! After getting it, let it sit for the hour on a flat surface, cleaned it, put water in, 5 min later the first 9 pieces fell. ****Day 2 made more ice and tried large size cubes, 1 got stuck, happy I was keeping an eye on it. Back to small size cubes only.

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 expected Cons: -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.
