Product review (4 stars): Nifty, handy occasional ice maker
This is a nifty useful occasional ice maker.  Ice cubes are something I am not in the habit of using very often.  One reason is that I have had water leaks that have ruined floors with built-in automatic ice makers in refrigerators.  So, I disconnected them.  And I don't often fill ice trays with water to make cubes.  So, this little machine does the trick for me when I am in the mood for ice, especially now that summer is just around the corner.  I really do like the small crunchy cubes it makes,  What I usually do now, is wait until it fills up the little cube tray, and place those in freezer bags to keep in the freezer to use whenever I want ice for my beverage.  One thing I should mention that apparently has improved is that the machine is almost silent when it's running.  Some of the reviews I had read before ordering it indicated that they were noisy.  That is not my experience at all.  Perhaps the company uses quieter fans now.  One other note...it arrives with one of those those light blue "skin" coverings, which was not really easy to remove.  After I called tech support, which was easy and helpful, I was able to remove the blue covering.
