Product review (5 stars): Ivation Products = Superior Quality
Very nice portable ice maker and simple to use.  Honestly, when I received the offer to review this product, I must confess I'd never heard of a portable ice maker.  Of course, if I had thought about it, I would have known they must exist since I've seen and used large ice makers in commercial kitchens.

Although I was eager to receive this product, I kept wondering what in the world my family would use it for.  Obviously, if you're going to have a party or some type of gathering, a bag of ice is only a couple of dollars and might be preferable to making one's ice cubes.  But, after following the instructions, filling the tank to the water level, turning the ice maker on and seeing the ice cubes drop into the tray in just a few minutes, it was fascinating to see how quickly one could make some ice.

Then, I realized that my daughter and her husband do not have a working ice maker in their refrigerator.  Until they purchase a new fridge, they will be using this ice maker for their daily needs.  So, there you are.  It's already filling a need among my immediate family.

The settings are easy to use and the user has the choice of small, medium or large ice cubes.  The large size isn't quite as large as a regular sized ice cube that would come from a standard ice tray.  And the ice is not shaped like a cube - more like a pellet.  Actually an attractive shape and I'm thinking they would be an great option for a birthday party, baby shower, bridal shower or cocktail party.

I have received several Ivation products for review and I am of the opinion that Ivation = Superior Quality.
