Product review (3 stars): Works fine, BUT...
Here are three big warnings!  1) Not a fast operation!  The product summary states the machine "makes a batch in as little as 6 minutes." Translation for "batch"...enough ice for one serving.  For big parties, make ice far in advance so your guests don't wait around for ice in their glasses.  2) Machine won't work in environments hotter than 90F degrees!  This is stated in the owner's manual, but not in the product summary shown on Amazon.  3) Ice melts quickly!  Forget the product info on this.  Get the ice out of the machine and into the freezer every 2-3 batches to keep it frozen.
Bottom line:  it beats going out into sweltering heat to buy ice all the time. :)
