This little ice maker is fast, efficient, and was easy to set up. If you leave it to sit on the counter and don't use the ice quickly, it will "melt" back into the water reservoir to create more ice.

It kind of smelled funny right out of the box, but that dissipated quickly. 

The ice is small round cubes, but has the texture of pebble ice, so it melts quickly and if you like to chew ice, doesn't give you brain freeze.
