I have it on top of a portable freezer behind my bar, and I just put the ice in the freezer as it gets made. I've had it over a year and have never had a problem. It makes ice very quickly- first batch in about 5 minutes. You have to make sure you drain the water out if you are not going to use it for a day or two, to keep it clean, but there's a drain plug on the side and it's no big deal. HTH I just found that the same site had the model above this one (stainless steel) at a cheaper price, refurbished: http://www.compactappliance.com/xq/JSP.detailmain/Edgestar_Portable_Ice_Maker_With_Digital_Display___Stainless_Steel_Open_Box/itemID.14654/itemType.PRODUCT/iMainCat.548/iSubCat.772/iProductID.14654/qx/shopping/product/IP201SS_OB.htm
