Product review (5 stars): Makes ice quickly.
Purchased this prior to a large family get together.  Worked great and my son liked it so well he asked for one for Christmas so I bought a second one.  It makes ice quickly.  If you have a large crowd, you need to add water often.  It is quiet except when the ice drops. That seems louder than a refrigerator ice maker.  It would not keep up with a group of over 30 people but for 15 people over a weekend, it was great.
