I think my only bad thought is that the documentation that comes with the unit isn't very specific in terms of how it works.  Its got a very small ice basket which made it feel like I had to constantly empty that into a bag in the freezer.  I am finding out that isn't the case.  It appears that the machine somewhat recycles the ice.  I don't think that it keeps it cold enough to keep the ice frozen for ever, but reuses the water as it melts.  I don't know this for sure but that is what is seems like.  In terms of making ice - this thing is smokin'.  It holds about 3/4 of a gallon at most which makes a ton of ice.  I use a gallon jug and pour about 1/2 at a time just so I don't have to look into the unit to see the fill line.  The first batch is up in about 10 minutes.  The ice has kind of a weird texture.  Not rock hard like big ice cubes but I am an ice chewer so I like them.  The machine it self is pretty simple.  Time set.  Start.  Ice Cube size.  For the cost, it performs beyond my expectations.  Now that I am using the ice right out of the hopper, I think everything is working as designed.  This go around, as it gets low, I will move the ice to one side and just refill through the hopper and go.  Would definitely recommend.
