Product review (5 stars): Excellent for Parties
This little machine really pumps out the ice!  We used it for a party with ~6 people using the ice it produced.  It kept up production with plenty of ice to spare.  You do need to run it a bit with some water with a small amount of vinegar in it to eliminate the scent/taste of plastic being injected into the ice but it's pretty quick to do.  Just remember to drain it and dry it out after each use so it remains fresh/clean for the next use.
