Product review (5 stars): OFF GRID APPROVED!
We live off grid in northern Minnesota and run a very small solar system and this is amazing! I have a small under counter fridge but the freezer is very tiny and always occupied. To work like we do and have cold drinks and ice to chew is a godsend  we plugged it in and noticed zero draw on our solar bank as we were in float charge at the time. The ice came out in 6-7 minute intervals on the small cube setting and i couldn't be more happy! The ice machine is less than a draw than the fridge we habe, so if u are off grid and using a cooler (we did for a while) and hate buying ice, this is an excellent option. Right now the sunshine is literally pumping out ice cube after ice cube  love love love!
