This is our first ice maker and we're so glad we bought this one.   Very impressed with the features - starts making ice very quickly, continues producing consistent 'bullets' and stops when the basket is full.  We like the medium-sized ice (small, medium and large options) and once we fill up the ice container in our freezer, we store more into freezer bags.  Since the cubes are somewhat wet, they will stick together when frozen, but a little shake or whack with a mallet or hard utensil easily separates them.
