Product review (5 stars): I LOVE IT!! :-)
It's simple to use, it churns out a lot of ice, faster than my refrigerator's freezer ice maker did {which also annoyingly frosted over the ENTIRE freezer compartment when in use, hence my need for an alternate source}], is quieter in operation than my refrigerator's freezer ice maker... i tried timing the cycles, but honestly i got  sidetracked and forgot... but the other day, after filling the machine up twice, within six hours or so (the only delay being on my end... forgetting to go back to the kitchen to empty the full basket of ice cubes to the freezer), i have enough cubes to last me for a week, and i'm an avid ice cube user.
~~ The one drawback?  the instructions:  the print is wee small print and gray lettering on white paper... but it was fairly easy to figure out anywho.  The one hint i can offer up is to "dry" the ice cubes with a lint free kitchen towel and put them in a plastic bag when you first transfer them from the machine's ice basket to your freezer, and you will want to do this, because the ice cubes are a little "soft" when they first come out.... they last longer with a hard, preferably overnight, freeze...  Once the cubes have frozen harder, you'll probably have to whack the bag on your kitchen counter to loosen them up, or take a hammer to the bag, whichever method you prefer.  :-)
