Product review (1 stars): Makes soft ice! Beeps loudly a lot. :(
I bought this because we don't have an ice maker in our refigerator (because we have a serious lime problem and the tubing get stopped up), and because I can use filtered water to make clean ice.

The ice comes out every 6 minutes like big hollow bullets (you can almost put a small child's pinky finger in the hole), very soft crunchable pieces, if you like to eat it. But it melts pretty quickly, and the melted ice is recycled back into the water reservoir that you'll have to fill daily with clean water. (Make sure grubby hands don't directly handle the ice or you'll have grubby ice next time.) It does have a drain plug on the back if it gets too gross.

I also have to take issue with the clock/timer functions. It's on a 24-hour clock; I wish it had a 12-hour setting. I'm not on military time. The clock time also runs fast, about 10 minutes a week. Also, the off timer doesn't always turn off, so when the basket is full or the water reservoir is empty, there's a loud annoying beep for about 20-30 seconds. There's also no volume control or 'off' setting for the beep. So when the ice basket is full at 2:00am and the off timer didn't stop it, everybody in the house wakes up to know it. Awesome, right? Little attention whore.

All in all, it's ok. It makes ice pretty fast.

EDIT: It quit working today, just before I've had it weeks.  I'll be sending this one back. Lowering my rating to 1 star.
