Product review (5 stars): it is a very good machine
I bought this unit to take with us on trips to replenish ice in our cooler. As soon as I received it I tried it to make sure it worked. I ran it through all 3 sizes of cubes. The first run of ice did have a hint of plastic which didn't surprise me being it is a new unit, but after that it was cleaner tasting. I am pleased with everything so far. It doesn't require a lot of water to make a tray of ice which is also nice because when on the road or on the water you know space is important. The only thing that bothered me was that the warranty started the day I bought the unit not the day I received it which was approximately a week. So far I'm pleased.
