Product review (5 stars): Pleased with purchase
We purchased this to put on our 30'sailboat.  It makes enough ice at night when we are plugged into 30 amp shore power to fill the cooler so we have cold drinks all day long.  I leave it on the salon floor at the bulkhead and the cord is long enough to plug into the 110 volt outlet in the head(bathroom) or at the portside outlet.  By plugging it in to the outlet in the head, we don't have to step over the cord and the door to the head clears the cord, so that the head can be used while the machine is plugged in.  Also,  the unit is short enough that the salon table can be converted into a bed without having to move the icemaker.  When we leave the boat for a few days, I  drain the unit into the bilge, eliminating the need to lift the unit to drain it.  This ice maker makes cruising more enjoyable for us -- who like a warm drink on a hot day!  I haven't tried to run it off the inverter,  but I believe that it could be run off the inverter, as we have enough house battery to keep our onboard refrigerator running for 48 hours using battery power.
