Product review (5 stars): So far, so good.
Oh YES. This is a great little machine.  Much quieter than I had been led to believe and the ice pops out every 5-6 minutes.  I have a standard ice bin in the fridge and it took about 5 hours to fill it, but now I will only need to run the ice maker a couple hours or so a day to keep in plenty of ice.

Now, I just hope it cost less to run than the cost of bags of ice.

Great job Hamilton Beach!

Will update on durability as time goes on.
