Product review (3 stars): Not perfect but a nice unit
This ice maker does everything it says as advertised and works great when you need a modest yet continuous supply of ice.  That being said, it takes a lot of counter space and the ice created has a lot of air pockets and consequently melts very quickly making it unusable for mixing cocktails.  If you try, you will be left with watered down drinks before they are even out of the shaker.  Still the ice works well for small coolers, an ice bed for a buffet or in glass of water/strong iced tea.
