Product review (3 stars): Works well but limited to home use
I purchased the NewAir portable ice maker for our local senior center after the commercial ice machine died. A commercai replacement would have cost $1500 to $2000, so the portable machine was an attractive alternative. The center serves lunch 3 times a week and this winter the cooks have been able to keep up with the demand by bagging ice and keeping it in the freezer, but we will need to find another alternative this summer when the demand will be much greater. The machine would be more than adequate for home use though.
