This ice maker is perfect.   We got it and waited 24 hours as the directions state than turned it on and filled it up.   and hour later we had a full basket of ice.  The cube are a perfect size, we choose the large size.   My husband was thrilled at how quick it made ice.  I bought it to have a camp since our refrigerator there does not make ice.  We make a bag throw it in the freezer when it gets low we make another.   It takes up about the same space as my Kuerig Coffee maker, but we store it on a back counter when not in use.  I highly recommend it.
