Product review (5 stars): Well worth the money -- makes ice well and takes up little room, and you can take it with you when you travel.
For the money, this has far exceeded expectations. This makes enough ice to supplement my refrigerator icemaker for my roommate who is an absolute ice fiend. We don't fight over ice anymore.

I'm anxious to take it with me when traveling by car. Now, remember that at this price point, you're not going to get 10 lbs of ice an hour. It makes about a pound an hour, and the ice is slightly wet when finished.

I happily recommend this inexpensive, high quality (no flimsy parts to break) countertop appliance.
