Product review (4 stars): Nice Ice
Makes ice very quickly and will produce enough ice for a small gathering. Rather noisy (louder than your fridge but quieter than your dishwasher) so you don't want to place it in an area that you expect to be quiet. Need to drain completely after each use or every few days if using continuously which is somewhat of a pain.  Not a replacement for a full time ice machine such as your fridge but a great supplement for parties. Very portable, we move it from our rec room to our patio depending on where we need it.  Overall very happy with the purchase.
