Product review (4 stars): Very nice ice maker for various odd jobs.
Very nice little machines.  Makes the "wet" ice like you'd find at a restaurant, so the ice is very soft and chewable which I love.  Many other reviews complain about the ice being wet, but this is not the same ice as what you fridge ice maker produces so it's not comparable.  The cycle type is exactly as the description states, a little long on the first batch, then it gets faster.  It will fill it's internal bin in about 2 hours or less.  Two sizes of ice, but there's not much difference between the two.  Great for a non-wet bar, or for using outside the home on a trip or something like that.  The water is kept below the ice bin, so it's very well self contained.  Ice is made on little fingers that hang down from the top.  The fingers get really cold as they are sitting in a small water container, and when it cycles the water tray dumps out of the way and the fingers do a quick warm up to let the ice drop off them, then the ice is scooped into the ice bin and the water tray moves back and is filled for another cycle.  And, keep in mind the ice bin is not cooled.  This is not a freezer unit and has no cold keeping area.  But the ice will keep for at least 12 hours in my tests (only had the unit a few days so far, running almost constantly.)  Basically overnight, and it will still have ice in the bin the next morning with very little melted.  But don't expect it to keep the ice forever, except if you just keep it running once the ice melts enough below, and allows the level to drop you'll get more ice made fresh to fill it up completely again.

The negatives are, it's a little noisy.  Not too bad, you can talk comfortably around it, even whisper and be heard just fine.  Kind of funny the air fan is so loud since Rosewill makes fans for computers that are extremely quiet, and this one is not.  The compressor makes noise too, but not too bad.  There is no place to store the power cord when not in use.  And, emptying the water is difficult as you have to turn the whole unit upside down to get the water out, it's not that small and kind of awkward to twist around to dump the water.  The ice bin has holes in it to allow ice melt water to drain back into the water reservoir, and on the smaller ice size the ice can drop through those holes.  Kind of strange they didn't think of that in its design.  Plus the lid is a bit odd to open, only has little wings on the side to grab and no indentions to make it easier.  Would be nice to have similar on the front of the lid.  Enough negatives that I took away one star, and hope Rosewill does a little better in it's next design of this nice little ice maker.
