Product review (5 stars): Countertop Ice Maker
I reviewed several ice makers before deciding on this one.  We needed an ice maker for our summer cabin because of all our company and being 11 miles out of town, it was difficult to keep enough ice.  With this machine our problem was solved as it makes plenty of ice for our situation.  We just keep emptying it into an ice chest or freezer as it makes, and soon we have lots of ice. I wish it would stay frozen in the maker, but if left in the container, it will melt.  We have used this maker during the summer for two years now and it is still meeting our needs as well as saving on buying ice.
