Product review (4 stars): Takes up alot of space.  Keep the back of it free and clear so it gets plenty of ventilation for the fan.
Works good but the ice melt too quick and does not make thick ice cubes.  They melt in your drink fast and water down the soda.  Also does not hold ice for very long. It can't make it fast enough for a small dinner party of 4

The Lid makes it hard to use on the counter if you have cabinets above it.
