Fantastic
This little jewel has been a blessing to a small family that enjoys ice cubes in all of our drinks, especially water. The unforseen disadvantage is that you must manually fill the unit with water every couple of days. The advantage, however, is that if you use filtered or bottle water the ice cubes are tasteless. In fact, as the ice cubes melt in water, they remain pure and tasteless because they do not share the air of refrigerator the way an automatic ice maker that is built in does. So the ice melts, but you can just add more cubes without tasting all the flavors within your refrigerator.
Sits on the counter top and purrs away making plenty of ice for a family of four.
Terrific product.
More than satisfied for convenience and price!
I've never written a review before after being a satisfied Amazon customer since it's inception. But the one negative review is way of mark and I had to respond in defense of this product. I have never had a single mechanical problem in three years of constant use. Because I am limited with my walking, I always have the machine close at hand by my side. The ice does gradually melt over time in the basket, but the water is recycled into more ice as the compressor switches on and off as needed. Most people may use this only occasionally on a boat or a wet bar, but I use it for soft drinks when in the entertainment room in my basement. Because I am disabled, I do not have to climb the stairs every time I'd like a cold drink. I have a small fridge in the immediate area as well, but ice trays are for the birds. The unit converts water to ice within about 15 minutes, enough for a 64 oz. bottle of soda. For the money I highly recommend it.
Nice Ice
Makes ice very quickly and will produce enough ice for a small gathering. Rather noisy (louder than your fridge but quieter than your dishwasher) so you don't want to place it in an area that you expect to be quiet. Need to drain completely after each use or every few days if using continuously which is somewhat of a pain. Not a replacement for a full time ice machine such as your fridge but a great supplement for parties. Very portable, we move it from our rec room to our patio depending on where we need it. Overall very happy with the purchase.
