Product review (5 stars): Great Ice Maker!
I always hesitate to make a big price purchase (got this on sale for $160) but I have been wanting an ice maker for a while so decided to try it.  I am so happy I did.  This is a wonderful ice maker.  The first batch of ice is a little thin but then it gets going and results are nice good size pieces of ice (3 different sizes).  I've made all 3 sizes and it worked great.  I was really impressed with how much ice this makes in just a couple of hours.  I found that it is best to put the ice in gallon size freezer bags and put it in the freezer, then you can later tap it on the counter to break it apart and put it in your ice bin, if you prefer. (If you put it directly in the ice bin in the freezer, it sticks together, so put it in the freezer bags first).  I am so glad I decided to finally buy this - one of the best purchases I have ever made.  If you love ice, get this ice maker, you won't regret it.
