Product review (4 stars): Being organized is the key
The icemeaker is a great item to have for parties and picnics and we even provide ice to friends who are having get togethers.  It is not a freezer, so you must make the ice, have a bag in the freezer to fill after each ice making.  The unit gives off alot of heat when in operation, so putting it somewhere you can keep up with the ice making and at the same time out of the main living area is good.  We have ours in the laundry room and near the freezer where we save an entire shelf just for ice.  We are enjoying the luxury of having all the ice.
