Product review (3 stars): Produces wet ice that melts in the machine or sticks to itself to form a block in the freezer
Apparently we use a lot of ice in drinks and no one wants to empty and refill ice cube trays all day, so we got the machine.  Have had it about two weeks and it's neat to watch it make ice, but the ice starts melting immediately so when we put wet ice in the freezer, it all sticks to itself.  Doesn't seem to matter how long we leave it on, it just doesn't seem very cold inside.  It makes 9 good-sized ice cubes every 10 min or so, though if we wait for the bucket to fill they're already starting to melt and lose their volume.  This might be acceptable if I paid less for it, but for the price I expected it to be better.  Machine is pretty quiet in operation, can easily forget it's on till you hear the ice tumble in to the bucket.
