Product review (5 stars): Great little machine for the money.
Works great! Produces about 10 thumb-size cubes in the first 10 mins; then repeats that every 10-15 mins; the first "drop" of cubes into the plastic basket produces an ice/plastic "crash", but no big deal. We use ours every day, and store some of the cubes in plastic bag in our freezer for later use. Takes up very small counter space. I put an on/of switch (get at Lowes) at wall socket so we can turn off power to ours after we're done making ice for the day; otherwise, the lights will keep blinking on machine.
