Loud, doesnt work properly
Extremely loud sound every 5-7 minutes. It stops working and you’ll have to turn it off, then back on to make one SMALL batch of ice cubes. Not worth the money at all!

Hello NewbieGreenThumb, thank you for your review. Some operational sounds such as fans, compressors, or ice dropping into the basket are normal during operation. Ensuring the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface can also help reduce vibration. If you have concerns about the noise level, please contact our support team at support2@curtiscs.com or 1-800-968-9853.

DONT ORDER THIS ONLINE
The ice maker that I ordered is NOT the one that I received. The features aren’t even the same. But when I scan the barcode it brings me back to this one which is the one I wanted. DONT ORDER THIS ONLINE

Was great while it lasted
The machine was perfect while it lasted. However, it no longer pulls water, and I get an “add water” light even though it’s full. I’ve only had my ice maker for 15 days. I would say it’s a waste of plastic and money.

Do not waste your money!
I purchased two. I purchased one for my home and one for the office. Both items stopped making ice shortly after I purchased them. Due to my busy schedule, I was not able to take them back to the store in a timely manner, which is not the store‘s fault by any means, but the fact that I purchased two different items from two different stores and they both stopped working the same exact way, tells me that it’s not the location. It’s not me. It would actually be the product itself.

Hello Jazmine, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the Frigidaire 26lb Compact Ice Maker did not meet your expectations.

The ice storage area is not refrigerated. It is intended that ice produced be periodically transferred to zipperlock bags for storage in a conventional freezer. To make firmer/larger/drier ice, use colder water. Tip, let the first couple of batches of ice fall into the water reservoir to chill the water.

Terrible customer service
DO NOT BUY! This product rusts when you only use distilled or purified water, it will crack where the ice is made after a year and then rust leaks into the water and ice causing rusty ice. Frigidaire and their complaint company only back their product by one year so after a year you'll have to replace cause they do nothing. They will recommend you take it to a repair company LOL! Do not buy and just pay for the nugget ice machine.

Tiny but mighty
I bought it for my travel trailer. It's small, but It's actually the perfect size for our limited counter space. It makes 8 cubes about every about every 10 minutes. The small reservoir means you're going to have to babysit it. Refilling the water and transferring the basket to the freezer about every hour. But that's fine. Like I said, we don't have a lot of counter space. My only complaint is that the fan is a bit noisy. The compressor and ice scooping mechanism are all quiet, it's just the fan. It's probably fine if you're leaving it in a kitchen and you're in the next room, but for a small travel trailer, it's a bit loud. I removed one star for noise. So far it's been working flawlessly, however I worry about the longevity of the ice scooping mechanism. The cubes/basket aren't gravity fed, it has a motorized scoop that scoops the cubes into the tray. The little hand scoop they give you is worthless. It really needs a ladle type scoop. I don't know about mold yet. I just empty it and dry it out real good and leave the lid open when I'm not using it. I haven't had any mold or rust issues as of yet. I've found it's best to leave some cubes in the tray at all times when it's running. It helps keep it cool and helps keep the cubes from melting as fast. I would almost recommend putting cubes in it when you first turn it on to pre-chill the basket. Yes, I would recommend it if you need a compact ice maker, just be aware of the limitations, you're going to be babysitting it.
