Product review (5 stars): Love this icemaker.
Easy setup.  After I removed all the tape (for shipping purposes to keep everything in place) and wiped it clean, I allowed it to sit upright overnight. The instruction booklet warns against turning it upside down or on its side - mine was delivered upside down.  The next day, I filled it up with about a gallon of water and about ten minutes later the first batch of ice was made.

One note about the first days batch of ice...yuck.  Had a plastic kind of taste.  Actually, the entire machine smelled like it tasted.  I just let it make baskets of ice all day the first day and discarded all of them.  The next day, the odor was gone and the ice tasted fresh and clean.  I use filtered water.  The ice is really soft - great for crunching!

I use mine at work.  It sits on top of my mini fridge.  It's perfect!!  The window on top is neat, but the really neat part is watching the ice get dumped into the basket.  It's cool! My coworkers love it too!
