Product review (5 stars): Nice little ice maker!
Sanitized it then filled it with fresh water.  It was slow to start and I was beginning to think I had wasted my $$.  Give it a chance to get down to temperature and get going.  It seems like it is slow and not filling the basket very fast, but before you know it, it has shut off because the basket is full.  You have to learn how to use it.  If it shuts off due to full basket, I scrape the ice out of the way and let it cycle one more time.  This amount of ice then fills a quart zip-lock type bag nicely!  Stick the bag in the freezer and keep making ice. You can make a bunch of ice ahead of time if your having a party or something.  It has worked well for me and my needs.  I would recommend it.
