Product review (5 stars): Better than ever expected
This unit is fast, quiet enough, and has more than paid for itself in the year we've had it. We used to buy a lot of bagged ice because no one felt like refilling the ice trays, and there was no supply line available for an ice maker in our freezer. This unit works like a champ! Planning ahead by a few hours means we even have plenty of ice for entertaining. I fill gallon zip-locks as the machine fills so it will keep making ice. I find the out-of-water feature doesn't work for me, so I'm careful not to let it run dry. Note that the machine is not chilled apart from the evaporators that make the ice, so you should plan to transfer to a freezer regularly and switch the machine off when you have enough ice.
