Was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with one of these. Seems like a great idea when shore power is available. Thx

    @JanandDave, I know for a fact several t@b owners travel with their ice-makers and have, in fact, posted to the forum when a great sale is going on. Enjoy!

    Thx.  We can do almost two weeks of food in the T@B frig without shopping, but always have a cooler along and have to buy ice. And Jan has a birthday coming up, though she won't admit it.  :D

    YouTube has a lot of reviews of them. Seems that they all do pretty much the same thing but the controls are different.

    We have one made by Igloo and have been very happy with the unit.

    I’ve got the Igloo in red and love it! Shopko has it on sale right now for $88.88, and WM also carries them.

    How fast do they make ice?

    @George101 once it gets the first batch made it's continuous. It is faster on the small cube setting, and the large cubes really aren't that much larger to justify the wait time for me. I bring a small cooler and save extra ice in gallon Ziplos to share. I left it on overnight once by mistake and as cubes melted it kept making more. It's also fairly quiet till the ice dumps, but it isn't too loud. I'm happy with it!

    Start making ice in about 15 minuets.

    I guess you have to fill a water reservoir?  Do you have to refill for each batch of ice or will it run several before refilling?

    @George101 it runs several batches till the water is gone.  It also has an auto shut off when it gets to a certain low level.

    Specs say it weighs 25#. Is that accurate?
