Product review (5 stars): Ice Age
I was a little worried by the haters of this machine, but I took a chance and am soooo glad I did. this is a ice making beast! the only knock I have on it is the small ice tray. it fills up in 24 hours. I bought some plastic Ice bags on Amazon as well and just bag it up every day until I have enough for my own ice age! (or throw a party) Commercial machines cost a ton of $$$. this little guy @ $279 seems like a bargain. Oh, BTW, it seems pretty quiet as well. although I did install it in my garage so that isn't really an issue. also, because I read these little machines crap out fairly quickly, I did go ahead and buy the 3 year protection they offered. the extra cost seems like a good investment for piece of mind. I did notice a little frost build up after a week or so of stocking up on ice. no biggie. but something to keep an eye on. so far....I love it!
