Product review (5 stars): Love this ice maker!!!
We have been affected by the chemical spill in Charleston, WV. I no longer feel safe using the ice made from the local water in our refrigerator's ice maker.  I bought this so I can use bottled water to make ice - it works perfectly and very fast.

I did as other reviewers suggested and took it out of the 3 boxes and let it sit upright for 24 hours before plugging it in.  It made the first batch of ice within 10 minutes.  Since the output area isn't a freezer, I simply put the ice cubes into a gallon bag and store them in the freezer.

It is about the size of a bread maker.
