Product review (5 stars): Ice is Nice
I saw one of these for the first time at my sons house. As soon as he explained how it worked I ordered one on the spot. The advantage is when you have guests. We would always run out of ice and forget to buy bagged. With this machine you never run out. If you don't use all the ice it melts and is recycled back into ice. If your fridge maker runs low you can dump the excess from the portable in. A friend of ours lives in a small apartment and the fridge is not plumbed for water. He has one on order. I really like this thing.
