Product review (5 stars): No more running out of ice.
Rinse the machine out and let it go through a couple or three cycles and dump everything.  Refill the resivoir, plug it in and leave it alone.  When everything chills down to optimum operating temperature it dumps a mini-tray of ice every 8 minutes till it runs out of water or you turn it off.

I bought some 2 and 1/2 gallon heavy freezer bags that I fill with ice and stash in my freezer.  When the house fills up with family and friends I'll never again have to make the 15 mile trip to town and back to buy a couple of bags of overpriced ice.
