If you like to chew ice, or just like nugget ice like they have at Sonic and Chick-fil-A...you HAVE GOT TO BUY THIS MACHINE! I got one for my husband for Christmas...even though I thought he was crazy when he asked for it...it was a bit pricy...BUT...OMG it is the BEST MONEY EVER SPENT! Six months later I went back and bought a second one to put on another level of the house. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND THIS PRODUCT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!
