I am very impressed with this ice maker. It fits perfectly in the little nook on the kitchen cabinet. It makes ice on the medium setting that is perfect for any drink. If you like smaller, it does that also. Since I got this ice maker, I have not had to buy ice to supplement the refrigerator ice machine. This ice fits perfectly in the refrigerator dispenser, so if you just need to hear a dispenser whirl out the ice, you have it with this machine. All you have to do is pour it in the freezer dispenser. If you make home made ice cream; this is what you have always wanted. put excess ice in plastic bays and put them in the freezers. No more buying ice ! I am very happy.
