Product review (5 stars): Great ice making machine!!
I am really happy with my purchase of this ice machine.  The ice maker in my 10 year old refrigerator burned out and I got an estimate to put a new one in the refrigerator. However, the price to do that was not cost effective.  I have been purchasing bags of ice for 2.29 each, sometimes twice as week (Houston in the summer!! Lots of tea, etc.).  Stopping to get ice and get it home in the Houston heat became a nuisance.  When I saw this item, I immediately jumped as it as a solution to my ice issues.  I have not been disappointed.  This ice machine is fast and I love the "cubes" it makes.  I have used this machine about three weeks now and I like it even more.  I fill the ice basket in my refrigerator from this machine and have not had to go get another bag of ice.  I can make as much or as little as needed to keep my supply!!

The machine is heavy and if you do not have 17" clearance under your cabinet, it will not fit.  I live in an older "farmhouse" type home and there is very little counter space in my kitchen.  Therefore, I put it on its own shelf in my laundry room around the corner from the kitchen and it works great there.  It is beautiful stainless steel and the parts seem to be very durable.  The bucket in the machine is a good size and it makes the ice pretty quickly.  For my purposes, this machines has been amazing.  You will not be disappointed.
