Product review (5 stars): Easy Installation
I use it as a stand alone maker. It has a nice appearance and does not require installation under the counter. The only thing I recommend is to buy the "John Guest Ice Maker Installation Kit" and use the connectors in the kit and not the one supplied with the ice maker. It makes plenty of ice and is actually a quite system.

Update: Been using it and still love it. The only new thing I found on it is that it needs to be defrosted after about a month so that the mechanism doesn't jam with ice pieces. It makes plenty of ice and I would still recommend it.
