Product review (1 stars): Ice Maker Toy - don't waste your money
This unit does make ice, but there are a lot that I don't like about it.  It is noisy and runs a lot because the ice compartment isn't cold, and the ice is continually melting and refreezing (the liquid water runs from the melting ice back into the water reservoir for refreezing).  Even though the ice maker is advertised to make a lot of ice in 24 hours, the ice compartment only holds near two glasses of ice.  So the unit fills, melts, and refreezes.  At meal time, there isn't enough ice to fill the guest glasses (we are elderly, and generally it is only my wife and I at meals, but we do have family and guests).  Sometimes, the ice remains on the "shut-off" switch causing the freezing cycle to shut off prior to filling the small ice bin.  Other times, the ice freezes together requiring intervention or breaking and pushing to the ice into the dispenser by hand.  We do use the ice maker and for the two of us, it generally has the ice we need.  I haven't decided whether to return the item or not.  The ice maker in our refrigerator has quit working for the third time.

I took the time to supply water to this unit.  There were no instructions for doing this, but I found the installation relatively easy.  I set the unit on the counter top right next to the refrigerator and run the water into to the water input to the refrigerator - a fairly simple procedure and is out of sight.  The addition of this water supply takes away the concern of continually filling the reservoir by hand or of the unit running out of water.

Amended Review:  I have changed my review above from a 2 star to a 1 star (less if I could) because the unit failed at almost 8 months service.  I believe the shut off switch failed as the unit shows "full on ice" on front panel indicator.  Amazon contacted the seller for me - good for Amazon.  The seller said that they did not warrant the product beyond 40 days, and said that I should contact the manufacturer.  This doesn't look good for me, and I expect this was a waste of my money.
