the unit was a lot smaller then I had thought it would be, it has been very reliable and has been running non-stop for a few months now. it has been cold enough to create 5" thick ice (probably thicker at times) and has covered over the air pocket that the pump has made, which I had to break with a shovel, but it was COLD, and not the fault of the pump. we covered it with a plastic storage bin and it has been perfect!
