Product review (5 stars): Great purchase!
I bought this as a gift for a friend who has a lake house, as we were always running at least 8 miles for a bag of ice. This did the trick. It makes 2 gallon bags of ice cubes from one gallon of water. It runs quietly, but is a little noisy when the ice gets pushed into the basket, but are getting used to that. So far I am quite happy with the purchase. It also arrived in less than a week.
