I'm getting good use but it took some thought to adjust my use to it's ability. I was accustomed to ice makers in refrigerators but this is a sit-alone. I keep it in the garage where the temps are warm. The only freezing area inside is the actual ice tray while the rest is water and ice storage. This means after turning it on the unit starts making ice and dumping into the bin but the ice quickly melts back into the water tank and does so until all the water is close to freezing temp. From then ice lasts long enough to accumulate quickly. If I start the process around 10 AM I can use the ice in a couple of hours. By 5 I've got about a gallon of ice put away in the freezer.
