Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"We've seen these Cal-Mil dispensers perform reliably for our customers running event catering. One operation in Vancouver uses several of these at their weekly brunch service, consistently going through multiple 3-gallon refills. I recommend keeping extra ice on hand for the internal chamber during long service periods, especially when the unit is placed outdoors. They hold up well to routine use."
