We use this ice maker all the time! It makes a lot of ice, and it's makes it pretty fast. The ice is nice and clear. We got it to use for my wife, who has to drink distilled water because of a medical condition. The paperwork that comes with the ice maker does say it isn't great for distilled, but we were not aware of this when we purchased it. Because of the distilled water, the ice maker had a hard time with the sensor and would freeze over and make a big hunk of ice that we would have to thaw before we could make more ice. Overall, great product. Very happy with it.
