Product review (5 stars): Works amazingly well.  Great purchase.
Have a vacation place where the fridge doesn't have an ice maker.  For years we lived with the pain of ice trays.  So figured we'd give this unit a try.  It is really simple to use - you lift out the basket which catches the ice, and fill the reservoir with water - up to the point where the plastic level changes.  Put the basket back it, and turn it on.

You have two choices of ice size - I chose large, which is about the size of a large finger tip.  It would take about 12 minutes to make a batch of ice, and will continue until the ice basket is full or it runs out of water.  If either of these occurs, it will light an indicator.

The ice is hollow in the center and damp when made.  This is because it works by creating a dam which it fills with water and then lowers the refrigerated "fingers" into the water which the ice forms on.  When the time is up, the remaining water goes back into the reservoir, and the cubes drop into the basket.

The unit itself is not refrigerated.  It is insulated and stays cool while making ice because of the refrigerated fingers.  But the ice will melt with the water going back into the reservoir if you don't take it out.

Because the cubes are damp, if you move them to your freezer, they will freeze to each other.  We would fill 1 gallon freezer ziplock bags with the ice.  When we wanted ice we would bang the bag onto the counter top to separate the cubes.

How well did this work?  We never ran out of ice while our place had 12 people with the outside temperatures in the 90s with 90% humidity.  It can make over 20lbs a day.  We would run as needed to keep about 4 of the gallon bags full (probably 10lbs)

You can hear the fan if you are near it.  You can hear the water pump and the dumping of the ice too.  So it is not silent.  We did not mind.  It became a running joke for someone to say - "ice is ready" when we would hear it dump another load.

It does come with a little plastic ice scoop which you can use to scoop the ice out the basket if you want to fill a glass directly.  Also, if you like to chew ice (sorry ADA) by being hollow in the middle they crunch pretty easily.

Next to a new king size mattress, this was the best purchase for the vacation house.
