Product review (4 stars): It makes a lot of ice
This is a pretty decent icemaker.  It doesn't take that long to get to temperature and once it starts making ice it drops cubes in to the bin pretty regularly.  Here's my issue with it.  This ice is what I would call "soft" ice in that it doesn't take too long to melt.  The second thing that I don't like about the product is that the bin the formed ice drops in to doesn't have a lot a cooling going to it so the ice begins to melt as soon as it drops.  I typically am doing other things around the house, it's when I don't hear the ice drop that I realize that I need to empty the bin and when I add it to my regular freezers ice bin we do have clumping issues.  Even when I'm proactive and empty the bin immediately - this is due to there not being enough cooling to the ice bin.  However, that being said, the unit is a work horse and as long as it has water it will make ice.  The "cubes" are more like super-size chocolate covered cherries with a hole in them but they cool your beverage.  I like the product but I would fix that bin.
