Product review (5 stars): Even my husband was tickled I purchased this ice maker!!
This portable ice maker works Great! At first, I thought it was slow but after everything got really cold, it was steadily dumping out the ice cubes. The only cautionary remark I would add to my review is for a buyer to recognize exactly what this is & its limitations. It is not the high price, installed ice machine. It is portable. It is well insulated but it is will not hold the ice cubes indefinitely. The ice cubes will melt. My suggestion would be to start a day or two ahead of an event to bag this ice as it makes!  I had a house full of 17 or so family members. This augmented my fridge ice maker nicely! I used regular tap water. But I do think the next time I use it, I will use purified water to see if the ice cubes will be clear!
