I bought this one on Amazon and have had it probably 4 years. It uses 5 gallon water bottles. I fill the water jug with well water to make fishing ice, use a new water bottle for house ice. It's not super fast to make ice but you have choices of 3 different sizes of ice and it's still working just fine. I was afraid it was going to be a piece of junk but I'm really glad I bought it.
