Product review (5 stars): Great machine for parties and for daily personal use
We went from having a side-by-side refrigerator with built-in ice machine to a standard fridge with no ice maker. It was a crazy pain in the a** to keep ice cube trays filled and while it sounds dumb I just really want ice in my ice water.  This unit is great -- it can be a little annoying when it beeps to alert you about low temp, etc., but it does a bang-up job of dumping a lot of ice out so you have some to use and some to store in the freezer so you never run out.

My husband thought this would be just another gadget sitting on the counter taking up space but it's the one appliance that we use constantly.  Also worked well when we had friends over so we could put drinks in a cooler and fill it up with ice without having to leave the house and go buy a bag of ice.  Highly recommend!
