The idea is great.

I desperately wanted a counter-top ice maker that would have available ice cubes since my automatic ice maker in my fridge can't always keep up with demand. If you are ready to use the ice immediately it works great. My home's temperature was within the specified allowance and still the ice would begin melting just minutes after it was dropped into the tray. The actual machine was also a little too big for my counter space. Great idea though.
