Product review (3 stars): Great product. Simple negatives
Great product. Simple negatives:  I found that I need to leave the basket out for about 30 minutes after I turn the unit on, and it's filled with ambient water.  This action allows the cube size to increase to what appears to be their largest size on the large setting.  I mainly use it to try to keep up with Ice usage for a family of 6, as the ice maker in our freezer can't keep up.  The main problem is that this unit's cubes freeze together once placed in our freezer, in its own container, which is set to 2 degrees Fahrenheit.  I have to break up the cubes every time i add cubes to its freezer container.  Once the cubes have been in the freezer for a while and have been broken up, as described, I can add them to my regular freezer ice storage tray as needed.  It's not that big a deal since I use a small plastic coated no bounce "CLEANED" hammer that I got from Harbor Freight.  I hope this helps.  Sorry for the lower rating, but I wanted this to catch the eye those considering this item. NOTE: It makes a lot of ice quickly and keeps up with our needs so far, after about 3 months use with no other negatives.:).
