This ice machine is pretty much perfect for any environment.	We've had it sitting outside all day in the heat during parties and we've taken it along in our RV for ice at the campsite.	It makes nice large ice cubes 24/7.	It's so simple to use that my young kids usually take care of it, and it's easy to clean, too.	If you do a lot of entertaining or camping, you can't go wrong with this ice machine.
