I have used this ice maker for a few weeks on the boat and at home. First off, it makes one size ice cube: Large. The ice measures 1.25” long x 1” dia. Having only one size is good. Some competitor units make two sizes. That is sort of gimmick marketing. Having two sizes is something else to go wrong and small cubes melt almost instantly.
The machine makes the first batch of cubes in about 9 minutes. Ignore the first batch. They will be clear, smallish, and not hard. The machine’s internals haven’t cooled. In fact I sometimes leave the first batch in the holder where they melt and provide cold water for the second batch. The second batch will be very good cubes; firm and white. The cubes have a hollow center. This provides more surface area so the drink gets cold faster than with solid cubes. They will melt faster than solid cubes. They will keep a drink cold in a Yeti cup and have cubes remaining for an hour. The unit keeps making ice every 8 or 9 minutes until it runs out of water or the holder is full. The unit holds enough water to fill the holder ice several times. No need to add water every time the holder is emptied. I have had no issues with the cubes sticking together. Put them in a bag in the freezer. A light tap and they come apart.
The machine has to sit upright for two hours before first use for the oil to settle in the compressor. Some other units have to sit as long as 12 hours. I leave the scoop on the counter when making ice and in the bin when not. Some competitors units have a holder on the front. The holder on those units sticks out and could get broken when transporting.
I was concerned about oil getting out of the compressor when used on the boat due to rocking. No problems when anchored or docked. I did not make ice while underway. I like the handle, smaller dimensions and lighter weight compared to other units.

I have a tiny freezer and frankly find ice cube trays irritating, so this is a dream. I bought it on sale hoping it would get used enough to justify buying, but didn't expect to use it constantly and love it this much. Definitely worth the buy!!
Easy to use, easy to clean, makes a good amount of ice relatively quickly. Faster than my ice trays!! Everyone in the house is staying much better hydrated with ice always ready during this heat wave. Its small enough, its cute (I got the teal!), and gets used constantly, so I am happy to give up the counter space to have it!! I'd happily buy it again.
