MODERN DESIGN: Ice Maker with a large transparent window so you can always see your ice being made and the level.

EFFICIENCY: Each 5-6 minute cycle produces 9 ice cubes, with a total capacity of 26lbs in 24 hours. When unused ice melts, the machines recycle the water to produce a fresh batch of ice. At any time, you may enjoy fresh ice.
FUNCTIONALITY: When the basket is full, our ice maker indicators will remind you to take out the ice cubes, and when the ice maker is low on water, it will alert you to add more.
VERSATILE: Choice of bullet ice in two different sizes; and counter-top design enables easy portability
LARGE CAPACITY: 2.3qt water reservoir enables a large volume of ice production per batch and the large bin stores 1.5lbs of produced ice at a time.

I love this little thing. In order to have a good experience make sure you are nearby the kitchen to move ice to freezer on a regular basis. If doing other light household tasks, this is an easy procedure to remove and transfer. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO LONGER NEED MELTING ICE FROM THE GROCERY STORE (or to pay for it).
Very true!
I agree I just got mines today . Haven’t set it up but love the fact that I can have a cold drink with out freezing a bottle or can.
Adding COLD water is the key to thicker bullets.
It’s important to keep the basket free when the machine lets you know the basket is full. so it will produce more ice faster. I make ice at night, when I’m home and then I place the cubes in a freezer bag, right after they’re ready. When the freezer bag is full, I place them in the freezer. And continue making more. It’s nice if you have extra room in your freezer.
I have this too. It’s taking a long time, but it’s definitely making more ice than what my refrigerator/freezer is making in 24 hours.
Water Reservoir is small. Basket is small and ice keeps melting. So I’m babying this thing.
I wish it made block ice instead of bullet
I had read that it is best to remove the made ice and put the cubes in the frig freezer to stop the ice from melting when just sitting inside the basket. Any comment on that?
@@steveturton5478 yes, there is not a cooling agent or refrigerant in the ice basket so if the ice sits there for too long, it will melt.

Standing in Costco now and watched this before picking one up, thank you!!
Did you buy one?
Maybe I’ll bring mine over next time we have a get together to compare. I got mine on amazon 2 years ago and is one of the best purchases I’ve made. I keep mine on all the time and always have ice.
That would be cool. We can have a race to see who's makes ice the fastest 😀
I bought one today like it
I purchased this very thing and I was so excited and the very first time I tried it the ice came out extremely wet, so when I put it in the freezer, it just turned into a large block of ice
try letting it cycle a few times.
It’s gone through almost a dozen cycles now with still the same outcome unfortunately. I’m calling the 800 number to see if they have any suggestions. Otherwise I’m going to return it.
@sweetestlove6907 did you get it at Costco? If so, maybe exchange it for a different unit?
To be fair, the purpose of this unit is to make ice quickly on demand, not to use as a replacement for a freezer based ice maker. The ice is also lower temp which is useful for making mixed drinks and smoothies, but this is also why you can't freeze it, as it will just stick together as you mentioned.
Nice tutorial. I followed all your steps but my ice maker ice.
The freezer part of thecsystem needed to ramp up. Great vid. Cant wait to try mine. btw, have tried using cold water vs tap temp. Might work better. The closed water and ice system does the same thing....
I just bought this... I'm only using reverse osmosis water in it that I keep 2 gallons at a time in the fridge in glass gallon containers....then just put the ice it makes in the freezer..... I think using only filtered water it it and not nasty tap water will keep it cleaner for longer
Can you make a video on how to clean it ?
How do I run the self cleaning feature
Nice review dude. 👍
Thanks for posting your video. I just purchased this same unit two days ago and unboxed it a few minutes ago. What did you use to clean the tank?
I just rinsed it with water. There's a drain plug on the bottom of the unit.
Thanks for the video. You look like Will Saso
Looking to buy a portable ice maker, thanks for the review
Thanks so much!
A nice item thar assist the Refrigerator ice maker trying to keep up with active families. Happy Trails 👣CJ. Stay Safe 🙏🙏🙏..
Thank you JD!! You're awesome!!
What are the odds! My whirlpool with the same ice bin no longer works so I’m looking to buy this machine.
So far, no issues with this one.
Mine too
Would you please tell us how to clean the machine?
How (and how well) does the self clean work?
Yes, does this model self-clean?
I never turn my ice machine off. Maybe that's why it only lasted 6 months. Are you not supposed to keep it on 24/7?
We run ours 24/7. No issues yet.
I need to know this also
From an energy saving perspective, shall we keep them in the freezer? My husband believes it should be on 24/7. lol Just want to find out the best way to use it.

Thank you for this video. How long does it take for it to make ice from it's melted ice? If this makes sense.
The ice will last for a long time. I notice it starts to melt after 12 hours. But it's also hot where I live.
This looks exactly like the ecozy ice maker.
I've noticed they all look very similar
Mine keeps saying add water... it's only 6 months old and quit working
If you got it at Costco you can return it
Okay, so you get 26 lbs from filling that reservoir once?? Or you have to keep filling the waterline?
26 lbs per day. not per fill up.
Every liter of water which is about a quart, weighs one kilogram, or two pounds, so if one quart makes two pounds, 26 lbs needs needs 13 quarts or 3 gallons and a quart, but I need to know how much electricity is uses. None of the reviews seem to care about the cost of electricity. For example, a water distiller costs about $100 and 900 watts, calculated it costs about a dollar per gallon of water, after about a year or less , the machine starts having problems, so it is more economical to just buy bottled distilled water, the only clean water 💦
@@stanleymeyer9936Did you ever figure out how much electricity this uses?
Do you have to keep it on when the bucket is full of ice to prevent the ice start to melt right away?
Yes or it will just melt back into the reservoir
Mine stop working
Oh no! Hopefully you were able to return or exchange it.
Same. We got ours from costco so they'll take it back but i was really bummed cause we loved this thing.
I thought this was to make ice quickly on demand? It takes about 15 minutes to kick out about 8 tiny nuggets. Am I missing something?
There are no instructions on where to add the water on the manual. What the hell?
We have only had this machine a couple of months and it stopped make ice and since we don’t have a receipt because we received it as a gift they will not doing anything for us! Never will I buy anything made by Frigidaire! Poorly made!
Same experience here. Speaking with Frigidaire support, they informed me it is actually made by a different manufacturer and rerouted me to that company's support.
MALÍSIMA me salió la makina la tube que regresar hoy en Costco y si me regresaron el dinero solo me sirvió menos de 3 meses, nomás que en Costco ya no las tienen
just bought one of these pieces of shit and bastard doesn't even work. brand new lmao
