Product review (5 stars): This machine is great.. the small cubes are great for chewing
My husband is on fluid restriction and likes to chew on ice.  The ice maker in the refrigerator makes cubes too large and dense for this.  This machine is great..the small cubes are great for chewing.  Also it is so convenient to leave on the counter as we use several times a day.  I bought 2 small plastic containers to put the finished ice into.  They each hold one basket of ice cubes.  I put a kitchen towel on the counter and when I take the basket of ice out I tap it on the towel to release any excess water then fill the plastic container.  When I take the container out of the freezer I just tap the container on the counter to loosen the cubes and they are ready to use.  I hope this has been helpful.
