Product review (2 stars): Good little machine with a few caveats
Updated review: It died after 3 months. Will no longer power on. Original review below.

The ice maker in my fridge broke and this machine is actually cheaper than replacing the one in the fridge so I bought it as a stop-gap. It's pretty small so it'll fit well on any counter. It isn't particularly noisy and I can't hear it at all if I'm not in the kitchen. It does make a few different noises as it's running (gurgles, humming, ice dropping, etc) but they aren't annoying or distracting.

The insulation seems to be pretty good. It quit making ice overnight because the bin got full and when I got up in the morning there was still frozen ice in the tray. It would be nice if it would start making ice again once some of it has thawed and there's room in the bin just to keep the bin full but that isn't an option, unfortunately.

The clock on it is pretty poor. In 12 hours it had drifted 30 minutes behind. So far today it has drifted 10 minutes forward. So the timer function probably isn't very reliable with that much clock drift.

Ice bullets are a good size and come out wet. If you empty the ice in to your freezer, they will stick together. Once the unit has cooled down enough it cranks out ice very quickly. Mine's currently going at 9 minutes per batch.

The plastic ice scoop that comes with it is not of much use. Everything you scoop with it will immediately slide back in to the ice bin so that's going in the recycling.

It came with a little silicone stopper in a baggy. I have no idea what it's for and there's no mention in the instructions where it's supposed to go. I haven't done anything with it and my house hasn't burned down yet so I figure it isn't important.

Overall I'm quite pleased with my purchase. Hopefully it'll last a long time.
