Product review (5 stars): Life Saver
Hurricane Irma just past around here and Maria is now an imminent threat. Ice has ran out in almost every store. This little unit has been a life saver. I've been doing ice for almost 48 hours straight. Word of advice when using this unit, in the caribbean it's really hot. I mean HOT. 90F or more. So this unit never makes ice in as little as 6 minutes. The first batch, which is usually unusable because it is very small, takes about 15 minutes. Once it has made 4 o 5 batches it operates a bit better, but that takes between 1 or 2 hours. Now if you put this unit inside a room which is cooled with air conditioning, then the story is a whole different. Under an ambient temperature of 72F this unit gets full in less than an hour. It makes around 10-12 batches per hour of big nice ice. Try to add cool water when refiling the unit for continuous ice making.
