Product review (5 stars): The unit does exactly what it is supposed to do
The unit does exactly what it is supposed to do, make lots of ice. The only problem was that  it was about 1 1/2 inches too deep for the shelf I wanted so I had to make a new shelf.  The new shelf is much better than the old and has more storage space, another derived benefit from the machine.  The problem wasn't caused by the machine, though.  The AC outlet placement was directly behind the machine, which took up room for the plug and cord, if the outlet had not been there, it would have fit perfectly.

The machine makes about 1 pound of ice an hour and we use about three pounds per day.  I make ice in the morning and afternoon, storing it in bags in the freezer.  At night, we fill an ice bucket to take upstairs that lasts through the night.  My wife's on chemo and needs a lot of water,  ice makes drinking it tolerable.  At $2.11 for a 7 pound bag of ice downtown, plus the gas and time, we figure we'll have this machine paid for before year's end.
