Product review (2 stars): If you like ice cold drinks on a regular basis (such as myself) you gotta get this!!!
I looove it loooovvve it looove it.  I have lived in my place for almost 3 years now, and my fridge does not have an ice maker.  I am constantly thirsty and constantly crave ice cold water, and was tired of going next door to Starbucks for ice. This arrived early, and it is beautiful!! I washed it out as instructed, and plugged it in, filled it with water, and it started making ice as promised.  It made the first batch in about 7 minutes. This is the greatest thing ever to assist with beating the summer heat. Now I can have ice water 24/7 without leaving home. Having this combined with the AC unit is just heavenly.
Yes there is a strong smell upon first opening it but its not that bad as some make out. I can't complain I love my machine.

2017 update: so machine has been working fine since first purchased 6/2016 - now has a funny smell that won't go away no matter how many times you clean it and it's in the ice. So we quit using it. Not even year and $130 down the ole drain.
