i’ve finally gotten a chance to use this ice maker on a couple of trips i wanted to see if i could avoid buying bagged ice for drinks and cooler use i have not actually weighed how much ice it makes per hour but i can fill 2 one gallon bags with ice in a few hours and that’s good enough for what i was looking forthe negative is that you really have to attend this thing to make any significant amount of ice the little basket fills fairly quickly and you have to keep adding water and of course the ice in the basket is not refrigerated so if left out will melt back into the water reservoir the other negative is the footprint it’s large enough that you need to find some precious space in the camper to store if you don’t leave it on a counter also while not super loud the fan and compressor make a fair amount of noise not to mention the occasional clattering of ice cubes going into the basketas far as the ice goes these are not “cubes” they are tiny hollow bullet shaped pieces of ice that form around the makers cold fingers so they probably will not last as long as the cubes from a freezer or bagged ice in drinks or a cooler as far as taste goes the ice this makes is only as good as what you put in i use filtered tap water from my camper bottled water is good tooi definitely recommend this ice maker as long you recognize its limitations the price is about equal to 30 5 pounds bags of ice and of course there’s the convenience factor of not having to go out for ice there seem to be at least a dozen ice makers out there that look just like this one  this just happens to be the cheapest on i saw it seems week made
