Product review (5 stars): Iced tea all day long
I have now had this for 1 week, and it does a great job. I have made ice every other day and fill the ice bin in the freezer after a few hours running.  This bin is not the narrow ice bin, it is the largest one I could find. We go through a lot of ice here!  I did let it sit on the counter for a full day before starting it up and dumped the first few trays made. There is no funky taste to the ice, and it is perfect for chewing (I'm weird and like to chew ice). It was the least expensive model I found when I ordered it, and since I haven't had any other makers except for the ones inside the freezer, I have nothing to compare it to.  I will update if a problem comes up, but other than that, all I can say is I wish I would have done this sooner!
