Product review (4 stars): Review in progress
This review will be adjusted as I continue using it.

I purchased this because my small shop doesn't have space (or need) for a proper fridge/freezer, plus I travel between locations and could use something small and portable.  On average I've been paying $15-$20 per week on bagged ice (which the quality isn't all that great... occasionally I'll get ice that has an oily residue).

Received it today about 4 hours ago.  I followed the instructions from the short manual and also some tips from other reviews on here.  I bought the 3-year protection plan (not bad for $7) on the suggestion of another user who claims these units (and other similar models) last only a year or two.

I placed it on a hard surface for 2 hours to let the coolant settle.  Using water from my Berkey Water Filter I'm in the process of my first cycle (which will be tossed, not used). The average batch of "cubes" is 10-15 minutes, and I'm currently on the 5th "dump", which is scooped into the basket by an automated shovel into a basket that is suspended over the water reservoir.
