Product review (5 stars): Been a workhorse for us!
We bought this to supply our cottage with ice, as stopping to buy bags of ice every weekend was starting to be a pain.  While this item is not inexpensive, at this point, it has more than paid for itself since we purchased it in June 2012.  We have had several large gatherings at the lake, and this has been able to keep up with our needs, even during the hottest days of July and August. We use it every weekend up at the lake, and whether it is just the two of us, or a houseful of guests, this icemaker keeps up.  I am not a big fan of red, but it has grown on me.
