🚀 Abunda's Overview
This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.
The product in question is an ice maker, which reviewers appreciate for its initial performance, including fast ice production and easy operation. However, customers report issues with noise, and cleanliness over time. The ice maker often develops loud groaning noises and collects black sludge, even with regular cleaning. The device also occasionally fails after about a year of use.
Pros
- 👍 Rapid and substantial ice production
- 👍 Simple to use and refill water reservoir
- 👍 Produces enjoyable, small ice similar to establishing store-bought ice
Cons
- 👎 Device gets noisier over time
- 👎 Develops black sludge that's difficult to clean
- 👎 May stop working after about a year of usage
Should I Buy It?
The answer depends on your needs. If you need a quick and easy solution for ice making, this product could be worth considering, especially with the addition of a protection plan. However, be aware of the potential issues of noise, cleaning, and longevity.
I labored back and forth through ice makers, and the reviews are the most important thing for sure. I have to say I LOVE THE ICE THIS MAKES. It’s not bullet ice, it’s actually chewy nugget ice like Sonic, Holiday, etc. It’s awesome. Also, let me preface my review by agreeing with another review: unpackaged it and let it sit upright for a couple of days. That said; there are some pros and cons and helpful hints. Buy the warranty. It’s nothing for an expensive ice maker. Use distilled water. Clean often: I ran my ice maker for about a month and I was shocked how dirty it was! If you use regular water, you’ll end up with hard water deposits and dirt. Now I clean it every other week. It’s noisy: but not THAT noisy. After about a month, I started hearing that dreaded low whine I read about. It’s almost like it’s a part that is triggered when it’s too full of ice, or a belt? If you keep it on the kitchen, you cannot hear it from the other room. You can hear it dumped ice, just like your refrigerator dumps ice. It’s only loud if you are in the same room. It has to have some noise for the air to keep it cool. Each side has an air in/out take. They run softly. I had zero problems for the first month. Absolutely no water leakage, no weird sounds, not one problem. And I ran it constantly. Now, it’s filling (overfilling) the drip tray, and it has a whine. I think, and it’s just a guess, when we don’t use the ice as much, it melts. And then it leaks out. Also, I think my mom used tap water and that’s awful. It holds exactly 1 gallon of water in the machine, and I have to refill it about every three days, depending on who visits. Our family drinks tons if water now! It’s perfect for water bottles, and slushees. Overall, I LOVE THIS THING!!! No more trips to the gas station, and no more mystery ice. If this little thing that I keep meticulously clean has dirt collected …. Image any gas station or ice maker. Freaks me out! It has a clean cycle you can use. And it’s worked good so far!!! Just take care of it, because it is an investment, and it’ll take care if you!!!

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS MACHINE or Ones like this from CURTIS ( I would loop in GE Opal too since the machine fails so often) consider brakes like Thereye, Mueller, Kismile or anyone other than one made by Curtis. Check their warranty requirements and how they handle product failures. Requiring the customer to ship back a 45lb machine is very expensive. I purchased this ice maker for my mother who loves "sonic ice". I can assume if you are looking for a nugget ice maker you know or at least would love to have that delicious and crunchy ice at home. Its not the same to buy a bag and freeze it because its super hard again. So to start my initial findings it was great to start. Ice was delicious and then it all went horribly. The machine started leaking around the door because the design is just terrible. No other ice maker that is of quality has a slide out tray. Water leaks all over the place and we had to put towels down just to prevent it. Some suggested tilting the unit by a few millimeters and that didn't work either. Then compared to the other bullet or cube makers this unit gets black mold super quick. I have hard water and regularly clean it with citric acid or acetic acid. Descaling is not hard but keeping the mold away is hard. I moved to trying bleach in a small amount and that seemed to work briefly before the whole machine took a dump. I noticed water was pooling around the base and found it was leaking internally. The machine then decided it would no longer make any ice and instead squeals making horribly loud noises. I am quite familiar with the design of how these units work. They use an auger to force water up a metal tube that is freezing it as it moves up and then extrudes the chips of ice into a circular cutout as the same auger has an arm that breaks them off. Scotsman has had this design for decades and while its great at making ice it also breaks down. The seals leak causing water to cover the mechanicals mixing in the gear box leading to the gears rusting and breaking. The auger scores the walls of the metal tube causing metal shavings to flake off. The same auger that scored the walls can freeze up because its built up metal around the sidewalls. These are a few of the issues with this design that the Chinese knockoff made by Curtis for Frigidaire have still managed to screw up. For the price of this unit it should last longer than 5 months. So then comes to the warranty issue. I contacted Curtis about the ice machine and they want me to ship it back to them even when I have provided them video/photographic proof of the machine no longer working. The costs of packing it up and sending it back come to about $65. This is a standard method of warranty service with Curtis. They do not send replacements, they do not make contact except via email, they will not stand behind their products. They are literally just a mill selling these cheap machines for high prices and then telling you to go away if one breaks. The exception that the unit has to be mailed back to them I can assume was done to prevent warranty claims for those who don't want to fork over more money on such an expensive machine. I bought an extended warranty however it will not come into effect until the manufacture's warranty is over. See how they screw you. Out of any of my issues I wish to tell anyone to stay far away from these Curtis made machines. Nugget ice makers are great and I get why they are expensive over the bullet machines. But these manufactures need to make them better and stand behind them.

Purchased July 2021. Worked great. A little loud, but fabulous ice and super easy and convenient. December 2022 - walk in to the interior light flashing and ice melting. I make sure it’s turned on and set to make ice, hear it start up, and go about my day. Spoiler: no ice stayed in the bin, light continued to blink, and zero way to get in touch with customer support on the weekend. Amazon’s warranty expired January 2022, which makes sense. Can’t register the product on the Frigidaire website (can’t register any of the countertop I’ve makers, fyi). Very frustrated and unhappy that a $350 purchase lasted 18 months under proper usage conditions and there seems to be little to no recourse.

Update: The machine broke down after less than 6 months of use. I kept that thing meticulously clean and working well because I was pregnant and going through a raging ice obsession. It cost more to fix than to buy a new one. The company wouldn't fix it, even though it was under a year old, so I was stuck with a non-working machine to remind me of how easy it used to be to waddle my butt for ice instead of drive to the nearest has station. So sad. 😂😭 Wouldn't do that again, though. The ice itself is amazing. It's perfectly chewable. I love the convenience of not having to go to the gas station or a drive-thru to buy large cups of this. It has really been heavenly during my pregnancy ice cravings! I tell my husband almost everyday how thankful I am for this gift from him. 🙏🏽 My only complaint is that sometimes it says "add water" when it's full of water and refuses to make more ice. Once every week, I have to unplug it, clean all parts, run the clean cycle, and then hope it makes ice. (Twice it hasn't.)

My husband bought me a countertop ice machine before but it failed after a few uses & and took HOURS to produce one cup of ice. So we researched long & hard trying to find an ice maker that actually works and makes the “Sonic” ice that I love 💕! (Actually Thornton’s has the same ice, but they stopped selling bags of it. Buying multiple cups of ice was a hassle.) This ice maker is WELL WORTH THE MONEY! I’ve only had it about a month and use it about 5 days a week to make ice to use and to store in the freezer. Some people may think it’s a bit noisy, but it produces ice quickly. In no time I’ve got gallon size freezer baggies full of ice. It is GREAT ice for crunching. Not so hard it will chip or break teeth. And I love 💕 eating ice! Easy to use and clean. The ONLY downfall I can say is the size & weight. It’s extremely heavy for me but I can slide it around on the countertop. The added water tank allows it to run for hours without refilling. It comes packaged extremely well including pieces of plywood in the bottom and top of the box. So chances of damaging during transport slim. Like I said, I’ve only had it for about a month but I’m hoping it lasts me years. The previous one croaked within a week. WORTH THE MONEY!

Edit* 10/31/24 I finally chose to throw this thing in the trash. Frigidaire does not handle their own warranties for some reason. Curtis International is who manages it and they have been the literal worst to deal with. It has taken MONTHS for them to respond to email inquiries. They expect me to pay $140 in non refundable shipping to get this to them so they can "warranty" the item. Its absolute garbage. Go to costco and buy a new model! At least you can deal with them directly for things and bypass Frigidaire entirely. The experience was bad enough where I honestly don't ever want any of there products in my home again. Your business to them is meaningless if they have to have a 3rd party mange their own warranties. At first this thing was absolutely amazing! We used it constantly until it starting slowing down and now it barely works. We are on month 11 since it arrived to us and it hasn't functioned properly since about the 2nd month of use. It will make about a cup of ice a day now as it melts off to fast to ever build up. A few pieces an hour basically. We clean it regularly and take proper care of it. Something started making noise and a call was placed to Frigidaire. They send you to a 3rd party warranty company and then it REALLY goes down hill after that. You give them all your info and from a security standpoint, it’s freaking sketchy sounding at best. I got a reply from them months later and it went to spam. Again, that’s how sketchy it seems. Then a link expires within that email if you don’t get to it quick enough and then you start the process again. Extremely disappointed in Frigidaire for not taking enough pride in their product to manage warranty claims on their own. I also paid a fortune to get it shipped to Alaska. Still has. It been resolved.

Within a few weeks the lights on the dashboard started to not work. Two years later the only lights that work are the add water and ice full lights. It started leaking around a year. My husband took it apart and a mechanical seal had failed. He replaced that and put it back together. It worked for a while and the started leaking from the gap along the door. Sealed that up and so far it's working. It's loud as heck. You cannot carry on a conversation next to it when it's running. We bought it used -acceptable condition and I see now that we paid waaaaaaay too much. If you aren't handy with appliance repair, don't even think of purchasing this. It makes good ice, that's all I can say for it.

So far so good. This is much quieter than the NuAir machine and has yet to freeze up since we received it a month ago. The ice is good and I like the UV and light features. The only con is the height of the machine because it will not fit under my cabinets but that was on me for not checking the measurements. I can say if you like the “good ice” it’s worth the purchase. Update: so I’ve had this for over 1 1/2 years and it has issues. The ice itself is good and no weird taste. The issues are: the machine must be placed somewhere so the leaking water will not Damage a counter, it’s very loud, the tray leaks water as the ice melts. And as of today the sensor that detects if the bin is full isn’t working and won’t let it make ice. I see they have updated the machine so I will be purchasing a new ice maker rather than this one. Not bad for the money but I would not recommend after I have had time to use it.
