We recently sold our boat and I removed this icemaker from the boat before we sold it. This icemaker works exceptionally well for its size. This would be perfect for a Dorm Room/Patio/Countertop. It starts dropping ice in approx. 7 minutes after dropping the water and turning it on. The unit holds 1 gallon of water. [Note: This will not produce enough ice to keep up with a Superbowl Party. 😊 The Magic Chef Portable Countertop Ice Maker can make up to 27 lbs. of ice per day, providing you with a steady supply of ice. Produces ice in as little as 7 minutes making it convenient when you are. It is just what you need to continuously fill your ice bucket or beverage pitchers when you are entertaining friends and family. The ice maker can conveniently hold up to 1.5 lb. of ice at a time, and the digital control panel indicates when the storage bin needs to be emptied. This portable ice maker is compact and small enough to fit on your kitchen countertop or patio table. MAKES 27 LBS.
