Product review (5 stars): Great for Holiday Gatherings, Backyard BBQ's, Parties!
This is a much have for your Holiday get together.  If you entertain a lot of quests or Thanksgiving or Christmas, why spend money buying ice when you can just make some at home.  I was able to make some ice in this, and it dumps a tray of ice about every 6 minutes.  I usually start the day before, if I know I'm going to need a lot of ice.  I just fill it up with water, and about every hour or so I check it, and dump the ice into a bigger container in my freezer.  You will love how easy this is to use.
