Portable Ice Maker
I ordered Magic Chef portable ice maker. Have one at work and seems to work well. Anybody have one?

We used one for seven or eight years and wouldn't be without it. Note that it doesn't refrigerate the ice but relies on insulation to keep it.
The first machine we got died before the warranty was up and they replaced it with a new one. The control board in the second one failed during warranty. It is still working. I don't hear much about them failing now so maybe they have a handle on quality now.
Since we are going to sell the rig now that we have settled down in one spot we gave ours to my wifes sister and her husband.
I have worked on several of them and looked at a bunch of others. The were all made and private labeled by the same Chinese manufacturer. The differences between brands and model appears to be all cosmetic.
If I were going to buy a new one I would shop by price and features not brand. I have seen them on sale at Target for under $100.
