Very small and efficient. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Although a southing sound when on and running, it is too loud in my opinion. The option to have the light on is nice. I do wish the pieces of ice were bigger but they are soft and beautiful, just small. The amount of ice is good for about 4 drink cups at a time. 

The over all look is nice, sleek and doesnt take much counter space. It makes a version of nugget ice. The ice maker is rather loud, has to be filled a lot with water if you want a lot of ice. Once it hits the bucket, it melts pretty quick. I tried to dump into a tray and put in my freezer, but it clumps together. So I would suggest make what you want for a cup at a time and then turn off machine. So, it is not as convenient as I had hoped. It just melts too quickly.

This has become a fast favorite in our home! Everybody loves the crunchy nugget ice, and we just keep it rolling. It is quick to make the ice, and keeps it cool for plenty of time once made. One of our favorite things about it is that because it is a manual fill, we are able to put in the best water we’ve got, for seriously clean and quality ice. The family rapidly decided they don’t know how we ever didn’t have one of these.
