Product review (5 stars): great ice maker...
I bought this ice maker for our hunter 40 sailboat... We have enough solar and battery holding to run this ice maker about 8 hours a day. it drops ice within 8 minutes of being turned on. I didn't experience any after taste problems like other reviews, but we followed the set-up instructions and flushed it out, ours made tasteless odorless ice. our ice cubes didn't seem to melt too fast like mentioned in other reviews, but we use insulated cups on the sailboat. we were the only boat in many anchorages that had a steady flow of ice, and when your out on the hot bright sea, fatigued with sleep deprivation it's the simplest things that can keep you from loosing your mind... we love our little ice maker...
