Product review (4 stars): nice box
We recently purchased this product from amazon. It came in to alaska north slope undamaged and packaged really  well. After reviewing reviews cleaned the interior and exterior with mild soap and water. Also soaked and washed the interior as well with vinegar and water. Plugged the unit to power. Added cold water and closed the lid. I was pleasantly surprised how fast this portable unit makes ice. Gave it four stars for its size. Will see how long this lasts.
