Product review (5 stars): No more drippy bags of store bought ice
We don't have a water line installed to hook up to our refrigerator so if we wanted ice we either filled ice trays or we bought bagged ice at the store. During the hot summer months the ice would already be melting by the time you got the bag out to the car, then after you got the bag of ice home and put it into the freezer it would refreeze into one big block of ice.

Having a portable ice maker is great! No more buying bagged ice or filling trays. This machine is small enough to set on the counter or even go with you in the RV.  In about 6 minutes you'll have a scoop of ice to drop into your glass. All you do is pour water to the fill line and press the button on the front to choose the cube size and you're good to go.

I dump the filled ice bin into containers in our freezer until they are filled then just let the machine stay on so I can grab ice during the day as needed. If you want a harder ice for the blender make sure you store it in your freezer. The ice I store in the freezer gets used for smoothies, adding to our ice shaver,  and  for margaritas while the ice straight from the machine is great for ice water, soda, tea, and chomping!.

We have hard water so I use bottled water to keep the machine from gunking up, and for a better tasting ice without those icky ice cube floating things. There are 3 cube sizes you can choose, medium is the default size. If you leave the ice in the machine it will slowly melt back into the bin,  the water will constantly recycle itself and continue to make ice until either the bin is full or you turn off the power.

  The front control panel looks nice and is very easy to navigate. There is a small plug  for draining the water out for easy rinsing and cleaning.  This is a really nice ice machine, with ice tea season right around the corner a portable ice maker will come in handy.
