Product review (5 stars): I've named it IC-D2
Great product.

I got this thing as an x-mas gift in 2012 and it's still alive and kicking.

I worked in a movie theater and gained a taste for having lots of ice in my drinks as a result. Having only a minifridge required me to drastic measures -- I decided to enslave a robot to make me three different sizes of ice cubes.

IC-D2 makes three different ice cube sizes that are shaped like really thick thimbles due to the way it creates the cubes. Nine ice cubes are made at a time and the only drawback is that the timing is really unfortunate. Usually what happens for me is, IC will start up and make a quick, flimsy batch of see-through cubes and then sit there humming for a long while...as if it is angry at me for enslaving it, or, as I look at it: giving it a home to safely solidify water all day if I accidentally leave it on.

That's another thing, IC-D2 is pretty durable and I have left it on all day without it malfunctioning, though I felt pretty dumb for doing so and ended up with a pissy little red robot on my counter daring me to make eye contact with it. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this is what caused a slight squeak when one of the mechanisms moves water up from its tummy to its brain cavity to create more ice cubes.

I think another thing leading to it's almost continuous use (without malfunctioning) for over a year is the cleaning job I do about once a month. You're supposed to do more though, but cleaning is a bit annoying and I haven't found the Asimov book out there that deals with crossing small robot personal boundaries just yet.

Right now IC is asleep but when he wakes up it will probably think it is still dreaming after seeing that I have given it a 5-star rating on Amazon (which if you read the instructions you'll see that this doesn't emancipate your robot like with older models...though it might turn it into a real boy).
