Product review (5 stars): One of the Best  Portable Ice Makers
I've owned 3 portable ice makers similar to this one, and this unit is the best of the 3.  It has a large capacity storage bin and makes ice with a nice texture.  I'd recommend this one over any others I know of.  My only (minor) complaint is that the unit is a bit noisy when it's making ice...but so are the others so it seems that's just one of the things you need to put up with.  Our family eats/drinks a LOT of ice...more than our freezer can keep up with and this unit is a godsend for us!
