Product review (5 stars): Well Satisfied
I've had my Danby portable ice maker about two years and am very satisfied with it.  The ice maker in our refrigerator had gone out twice and rather than replace it again we purchased bagged ice for quite a while.  Then we saw a portable ice maker in a catalog and decided to research these machines on the internet.  We chose the Danby and ordered it.  After about a year it began to leak and the closest authorized repair shop was miles away so I just put a towel under it and continued using it.  It has now stopped leaking and works perfectly.  I use it to make a week's supply of ice to store in the freezer or to stockpile ice for the ice chest when going on a trip.  I have a nook in my laundry room for Danby and make ice on my laundry day so it's not a problem to empty the basket when it is full or refill the reservoir when needed.  I think if potential buyers realize the limitations of a portable ice maker and are willing to work with those limitations they won't be disappointed.  I'd highly recommend a portable ice maker to anyone thinking of purchasing one.
