Product review (5 stars): Well worth the money!
I purchased this from Target at full price when my refrigerator ice maker started leaking 3 years ago....I've had this now a year or more.  We were just buying bags of ice on a regular basis.  I didn't know something so small could be so useful.  I was like a kid with a new toy.  I'd make ice & put it in freeze bags & store it away between 2 freezes.  3 sizes but I like the large size which is smaller than the refrigerator ice maker.  No difference in taste although I followed directions & threw away the first basket full.  I always have ice.  Makes quickly & I just set it on the kitchen cabinet.  It's small enough to put away when not in use.  I did my research & decided on Emerson.  I would buy this brand again!
