Product review (4 stars): The little ice machine that could...!
Ours made about 20 pounds the first day (not quite what the manufacturer claims, but still very descent) - you have to stay on top of emptying it when the bin is full. The interior is not actually refrigerated/coolled, so the ice will melt if left inside the bin.  It cranks out a batch of a dozen ice cubes about every 12 minutes. The first 2 batches are small (even on the large setting) because the rods aren't cold yet, so we just dump them back into the water reservoir.  Used this to make ice for a couple parties - As long as you have plastic bags & freezer space to make ahead of time & store, it's great!
