Product review (5 stars): Works better than 2 other higher priced models!
Update - I've now owned this for several months and use it almost daily...still works flawlessly. In fact, like it so well that purchased another from this same company.

Original Review

I've purchased two other ice makers from other brands and had to return both due to huge leaks. Basically, they spit out more water than ice...and cost about $100 more than this model. Now, not only does this work without ANY leaking but it's smaller and more compact so takes up less space. It's incredibly easy to use...basically plug it in, pour in the water, close the lid and hit the button. Within 15 minutes you will have ice. Cubes come in two sizes - both are considerably smaller than a regular ice cube from a try but personally I really like the size. We received this yesterday and have used it about 6 times since...the first few times just to 'clean' the machine and then we actually used the ice in a drink. It's a little work horse! Very consistent output in less than 15 minutes. Sound is very acceptable...it does have a hum but much less than our small beverage frig....totally within the tolerable range. Has a window to see how much ice is made and a small collection basket. It's hard to compare the output to regular frig but I'd estimate this makes about 1.5 to 2 trays of old fashioned ice cubes. After a half dozen cycles within the first 12 hours it showed no sign of fatigue or any other problem. Absolutely delightful product! Perfect for use when traveling or for extra beverages when company comes over. I much prefer this to buying bags of ice which according to research, are frequently contaminated due to poorly cleaned lines and so forth....plus, it's a lot more convenient to have it on hand rather than having to run to/from the store. Coupon code resulted in low/no cost purchase for evaluation purpose.
