Product review (4 stars): Finally!
I'd been looking for an ice maker for my office for about a year, and couldn't bring myself to get any of the poorly-reviewed ones out there.  I saw this one in a Hammacher-Schelmmer catalog, and everything I saw about it was positive.  Indeed, it is very good.

First, the bad things.  It arrived with scratches and a cheap plastic film that provides its color.  The control plate sort of falls off.  Things didn't look good to start, but I gave it a chance.  Ran a few cycles of vinegar and then clean water.  Then took it to the office to get going.

Remarkably easy to use (just pour water in the front reservoir and press power).  Makes good ice cylinders quickly.  I get enough ice to run my iced tea pot in about 90 minutes, and can fill the bucket in about 3 hours.  Certainly not quiet, but not disturbingly noisy either.  And easy to clean and drain.
