Product review (3 stars): Produces fast melting ice!
I debated between 2 or 3 stars for this review.  I decided on 3 because some of the issues I had with this ice maker may have been my expectations.
The Pros:
 1.  It makes ice.

The Cons:
1.  The foot print of this ice maker is larger than expected.  Pay attention to the size because this thing sucks up some counter.
2.  Even when used with cold water from the refrigerator the machine will take 15 to 20 minutes to make 9 cubes.
3.  You must run the machine first for an hour without the ice tray catcher in place (this way the ice falls into the water) in order for the machine to make 9 cubes every 8 to 9 minutes.
4.  The ice is very wet even when freshly dropped.  So emptying the tray into the freezer (for storage) will cause all the cubes to freeze into one solid ball of ice.  For me this was the largest complaint.  Producing one large ice ball negates the ease of use for this machine.
5. Even when placed into a chest cooler the ice will melt extremely fast.  The cubes are not a frozen solid cube like found from an old fashioned ice cube tray.  The ice coming from this machine is wet and soft.  This is great for chewing, if you like to chew ice, not so great for keeping things cold.  The cubes melt really fast when put in liquid.  Like you know, in a glass full of your favorite beverage.  Also all your friends will accuse you of watering down their drinks.  The cubes have a hole in the middle by design, this creates a lot of surface area for warmer air to melt the cube.  Even when placing in an expensive high-end camp cooler (packed full with frozen and refrigerated food items) the ice melted very quickly (a couple of hours at best).  It was necessary to buy a bag of ice (only after a couple of hours) on our last camping trip which negates the necessity of having an ice maker.

I think maybe my expectations were too high so I wrote this review just to inform the next person what to expect.  Good luck!
