Product review (5 stars): Pleased
I bought this because the refrigerator ice maker in my house at the beach simply could not keep up with demand. To be honest, I did not expect a miracle, but I figured that, for the price, it was worth a shot.

I am so pleased that I decided to take a chance. This ice maker does make cubes as quickly as others have noted. And while it is true that the cubes tend to be "soft," the volume produced is fine compensation. It is not terribly noisy, and filling it from a Brita pitcher is simple. We do not worry too much about storing extra cubes in the freezer at the end of the day, simply turning it off in the evenings, but if we had tons of ice, putting the extra in a bowl would be simple enough.

I would definitely purchase this again.
