Overview

This Igloo ice machine is their middle-of-the-line model that features very few extras but tends to get the job done.

It features a relatively quick ice making cycle, taking as little as six minutes to prepare you a batch of ice.

It can prepare up to 26 pounds of ice in a day, ensuring that you always have sufficient ice for your needs.

The LED Controls are easy and intuitive to use, and this machine can last you a decent amount of time with the proper care put into it.

Construction

This Igloo Counter Top ice machine is about what you would expect from a product in the price range.

While the materials used to build this machine aren't exactly the highest quality, the price  is low, so it 's hard to complain.

Ice Making Ability

The most crucial aspect of this model, its ability to make ice, is rather good.

The ice that this Igloo makes is consistent and high quality, and it gives you the option of whether you would like to make your ice cubes small or large, it will be useful during the preparation of various cocktails, or drinking whiskey only with one big piece of ice.

As long as you keep the reservoir full, this machine will be able to keep up with your need for ice throughout the course of a day.

This Igloo features a 1.5 lbs ice reservoir so you can keep ice stored in the machine.

Bear in mind, however, that it does not keep the stored ice fresh, it simply replaces it with more ice when it eventually melts.

What Others Say

We've researched a large number of customer reviews and testimonials, and the most frequent praise for this model lies in its ability to keep up with a family's need for ice throughout the course of the day.

The only downside that verified owners note is the seemingly cheap build quality, which is compensated by a good price.

The machine does not have technical defects, but the casing feels weak. This complaint is somewhat minor and has no bearing on the actual functioning of the machine.

Buying Advice

This countertop ice machine typically retails for around $100 on Amazon, which is a really good price for such a good product.

The shipping weight of this machine is 20.5 pounds, so you will have to pay a bit to have it shipped to you.

Conclusion

The Igloo countertop ice machine is an excellent choice if you are looking for an inexpensive, simple ice machine that functions reliably and efficiently.

Suitable for a small family, but not a large outdoor summer gathering.
