How much ice does it make in a day?

Up to 26.5 lb per day, in rounds of 9 cubes. Real output depends on room temperature and how often you empty the basket.

Does it need a water line?

No. You fill the reservoir by hand, which is why it works in dorms, RVs and rentals.

How long until the first ice?

Portable makers of this type typically produce the first cubes in under 15 minutes, though Sweet does not state a figure for this model.

Can I keep ice in it overnight?

Only briefly. The basket is not a freezer, so move ice to a freezer for storage.

How often should I clean it?

Drain and wipe the reservoir and basket regularly, and descale as buildup appears, to keep ice tasting clean.

Is it worth it over a fridge ice maker?

Yes if you lack freezer space or a plumbed line and want ice on demand. A fridge maker is cheaper to run and stores ice longer.
