When I initially received the counter top ice maker I was impressed with it's compact size and initial ice making capability.   I have owned this ice maker for several weeks now.  What I don't like now after several weeks.  -  I Have to  constantly scoop  ice out of the maker for the ice to form whole otherwise the ice forms  at half the size.  The ice does not form solid. The cubes are still slippery wet and not hard.  If you transfer the ice to a container in the freezer the ice immediately freezes together and become a huge block chunk and I'm unable to scoop the ice out of the freezer once a big block has formed.  Same thing happens when cubes are placed in plastic bags.  So no I would not recommend this particular product.  Try another brand.....
