Product review (2 stars): Not cost effective
It's pretty good if your time is worth two dollars an hour. It doesn't put out much and it takes monitoring the thing all day emptying and filling to achieve a standard bag of ice that you'd get from a convenient store. If you have kids, I suppose you can put them to work if they find it entertaining. If this thing was $50 or if you live really far away from civilization and don't value your time, it would be worth it.
