Product review (5 stars): A most welcome gift, quiet and productive.
I purchased this as a gift for a family member. We unpacked it, cleaned the bin and tray, and let it set about an hour before putting water obtained through reverse osmosis in it and turning it on. It worked as advertised, much to the delight of the recipient (and me!). It is much quieter than ice makers located in most refrigerator/freezers, as the ice cubes don't fall nearly as far - waking some in the middle of the night, and the fan/compressor noise is minimal. As with many items like this, the question will be the ice maker's durability, but thus far it has been a most-welcome gift.
