Product review (5 stars): Works like a champ so I don't have to!
When I ordered this, my only intention was to use it when traveling in our fifth wheel.  However, it worked so well on the road, that we decided to bring it back into the kitchen with us when we returned home.  I haven't had to pop a plastic ice tray since!  I simply refill it each evening and let it make ice for a few hours before bedtime.  The first batch or two is rather wet and soft; but, once it gets going it gets much more efficient.  Produces nice round cubes and lots of them in a short amount of time. I usually empty into a large bin in the freezer after each couple of dumps because the ice in the basket does melt rather quickly.  Be sure to give the unit plenty of room for ventilation since it does generate a bit of warm air while running. And sit back and enjoy having ice without popping trays!
