Frigidaire Gallery 44 lbs. Nugget Ice Maker, Self-Cleaning Countertop Soft Pellet Ice Machine with Controls, Stainless Steel Grey

I’m not an ordinary ice chewer… I only like “sonic” ice. We already had an ice shortage in my home so adding something that would help eliminate that issue was a plus. We’ve owned a countertop ice maker in the past so I knew I wanted something better than that. My husband let me know it was on sale for $250 so I ordered one and had it delivered from the store the same day. I had it unboxed and making ice in less than 30 minutes. Others have mentioned it’s loud, maybe I’m just not close to it Terran but it doesn’t bother me. The sound reminds me of a soda machine. It does not run constantly and the amazing ice is well worth it for me.

By far one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The ice is amazing and it looks good on our countertop. Yes it’s a little loud but honestly I’ll take it for the price and quality of the machine and ice.

Estimated delivery was 1pm it arrived at 10am. It was full of ice before it was expected to be here! Love it!!

I purchased this ice maker on October 29th, 2023. Today, February 16th, 2025, it died. Like, really died. Right around the 1 year mark, several months back, the "Ice" light went out, so you couldn't tell when you'd turned the cycle on. Inconvenient, but not terrible. A couple months later, the "Power" indicator light went out. much more inconvenient, but still manageable. Today, however, it was making a ton of weird noise. I went to check it out and see what was happening when I realized the ice wasn't being cut and crushed as usual. When I pulled out the pieces, something had clearly broken. I've deep cleaned this ice maker many times, and can confirm that piece in the photo is screwed into place and should not come off like that. I emptied the ice into a bag to store and found a broken piece in the mix. Other than these issues, I've generally not had an issue with the maker itself. It produced great crushed ice, fairly quickly once it froze down. The daily cleaning was a pain, and I honestly didn't follow that part. I used only filtered water because we have hard water and deep cleaned it with vinegar on a weekly basis. It wasn't overly noisy when running until near the end. I did take issue with the way mold and mildew would try to grow in it during the warmer months, but was able to clear that out pretty easily. There are no instructions for cleaning anything other than running the self-clean cycle, so that's not ideal. All in all, I can give it 3 stars. The warranty is only 1 year, but I wouldn't have gone through that hassle anyway since they make you pay for shipping it to them to determine if its even covered under the warranty. It made ice well, could get a bit rowdy, but wasn't the worst ice maker I've ever had. I'll be looking into the GE Profile this time around, though.

This is my 3rd nugget ice maker after going through 2 opals. All 3 have now had this same problem. I purchased this ice maker 7 months ago. Have only ever used distilled water (I go through 2 gallons a week). Worked great for 7 months and then started making an awful squealing sound. It does not put out any ice once it starts with the sound. I let it rest a couple days and tried again, the problem resumes after about an hour. I tried emailing the company via the email provided under the warranty information and it says the message is blocked. Honestly, between the price of the machine and the cost of distilled water-I can buy a bag of sonic ice every week.

I bought this for a fundraising event. The person came from 4 hours away that won it. The product was delivered and he mentioned box was ripped and said it was believed to just be the box, the person got it and it is indeed damage. I am completely disappointed: if the box is damaged then PLEASE check or do not buy.

It worked better than the other Frigidaire ice machine that leaked everywhere. We had it for a little bit over 6 months and there were pieces of plastic in the ice maker.

Bought this unit and after about two weeks, it started making a very loud screeching sound intermittently. Tried to clean setting to see if it somehow already needed to be cleaned and it made no difference. Returned it to Walmart, figured it was a fluke, purchased a second brand new one because I like the functionality and amount of ice and quality of ice that are produces. Within about one week, the new one started making the same screeching noise even louder:/ Going to return it and try a third time in hopes that I've just had bad luck. I can't imagine every unit having the same issue.

I bought my first Frigidaire nugget ice maker in January. It broke within the first month of having it. Got my second one at the beginning of February and by the beginning of May it was broken. I cleaned it like I was supposed to and it still broke. So I would not recommend this product at all.

It was fine I even used bottled water only in it so that focet water calcium didnt build up in it but then didnt even have it a full 90 days and it started freezing up making the horrible loud noise and quit making ice. we cleaned it out even let it sit for 2 days tried again same loud noise no ice. worst part on Walmart.com it says you can return it if its before 90 days thats a lie so i spent over $200 on a crap machine. I'll never buy from a 3rd party through Walmart.com again what a waste!!
