Product review (5 stars): Debated between a 4 & a 5
I debated giving this item a 4 or a 5, finally decided on a 5.  Arrived in 4 days shipping after ordering on a Saturday night!

From what I can tell, this is the same(or similar unit) as the one sold by Cabellas for $299!

Am producing my 5th batch of ice(large cubes), cycling in about 13 minutes per batch.  Yes, the unit does have a plastic smell but the ice seems fine.  The cubes are more like hollow fingers of ice, the larger the better.  The unit is slightly noisy, however, I consider this a PLUS as I'd rather hear the compressor and the cooling fan operate than hearing nothing and having a failure.

The one negative I can think of, though implementing it might place the unit way above the current price, is that it would be nice if they ran the refrigerant after the production tubes around the holding tray to keep the ice produced from melting.
