Product review (3 stars): Not bad, not great...
We purchased this ice machine because our ice machine in the freezer stopped working and instead of buying ice-trays we went with this machine. For the size of the machine, it gives very little ice. The motor and freezing components make up most of its size. It does fit on a counter but takes up quite a bit of space, it is also noisy. The compressor is loud. It also took quite a while and a bunch of water to get the oily smell out of the ice. The first ten batches were not used because they tasted and smelled awful. It runs nice now and the ice is good but had I known how much space it would take up and how much noise it makes, I would have bought ice trays to fill and use in my freezer...
