Product review (4 stars): Great little machine
We bought this ice maker to keep in the bedroom while my wife recovered from shoulder surgery.  The ice machine provided by the doctor has to be filled with ice and fresh water several times a day.  This was the perfect suppliment to our home ice maker and a great alternative to buying ice at the grocery store every day.

The machine makes ice in about 5 minutes.  It fills the internal basket about every hour.  After about 3 hours, you have to add water to the machine.  The design is such that ice is collected in a basked above the water reservoir; so if you do not empty the ice (like overnight), it will simply melt into the water reservoir and be made into ice again.
