Product review (5 stars): Does its job very well.
This ice machine is exactly what you would expect it to be. It makes ice quickly and stores it in a cooler-like area on its front. It doesn't really hold very much ice, but since I use ice pretty quickly, this was never a problem for me. The ice that it makes tends to be very soft and airy, which as a person who likes to chew on ice, is perfect. It's almost as good as the sonic ice. It has 3 settings for ice size, turn-on and shut-off time settings, and autoshutoff when water is low. The feature list is actually pretty nice.

My only gripe about this ice machine is that it is not very intuitive to use. The manual is horrible at explaining and the buttons don't really make much sense. It's kind of hard to tell when the machine is on, but is low on water and therefore it isn't making ice, and will automatically turn on once enough of the ice stored melts to produce enough water to make ice once again, or if the machine is actually off. This is important because the auto-shutoff alert is very obnoxious. Because this machine is stored in my room, when I don't turn it off completely before going to bed, it always ends up waking me up in the middle of the night because of the loud beeping noise it produces when it automatically shuts off. This is easily preventable by just an indication light to show if it is on or not.

Other than that one complaint, this ice maker does its job. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I purchased this product at a discounted price in exchange for my fair and honest review.
