put it in a bar area that doesn't have an ice maker in the refrigerator. This is perfect for having ice available all the time. also perfect size for a dorm or apt. Just fill with water and ice is available almost instantly. Auto shut off when ice bin is full.

We like this ice maker and it meets our needs because we don't need large quantities of ice. It takes a bit of time to make the ice so you need to plan ahead. It takes an hour to fill the little ice cube holder inside the unit. That's enough to fill about a 32 oz glass for an example of the volume. I am okay with that, we just let it keep going and stick a ziplock of cubes in the freezer. The ice cubes are hollow as they drop off the freezing rods- I've never used hollow cubes before! But the medium size is plenty big and they do not melt right away. There are three sizes, just haven't used them all yet so can't comment. Small probably freezes much fast than medium. I expect large would take way too long for me to wait. The ice does not melt too quickly- so happy with that. It's bigger than I thought it would be, but worth finding a place for it! I am really happy we purchased it!

I have had several portable ice makers. This model is pretty quiet compared to the others. It makes ice quickly and the ice tastes great. I bought this make because of the good reviews. Its a little more expensive so I am hoping it hold up longer than the others I have had.

The ice maker for the price could not be better for the bar/outside kitchen and inside kitchen. Very easy to check to see if enough water to make cubes w/ 3 sizes.,cleaning easy.The,melting ice returning to the container to re- make it,s self.

This machine makes ice fast and is easy to use. The 3 different ice sizes is also a nice feature.
