Product review (4 stars): A few tweaks from perfect.
Actually two things I don't love about this machine. Right to it: there is no good place to keep the scoop. While that would be fine with a larger capacity, the scoop unerringly makes the machine think the bin is full when it isn't. Being as we have it located in our outdoor bar, it has to be kept in a clean place. Maybe a (removable) pocket on the side would have been a better design. Second, the water tank is under the ice. I get that ice melts and can be remade into ice, but why not a fill hole that flips out and a clear water level indicator?

It makes great ice and it makes it relentlessly. I would highly recommend this machine and would not hesitate to purchase another in the future.
