Product review (3 stars): Don't get too excited...
We bought this ice maker because we have burned out every ice maker that had come with our fridges in the past and we were having to buy ice and refill the bin every 2 days and it was getting really old. This machine sounded like the best (most affordable option). I knew it wasn't a commercial ice maker ($$$) but I thought it would do. I turned it on Saturday morning, ran it all day long and filled 1 and a half gallon size ziploc bags. If I keep up at that pace, I can always have a stash in the freezer but if we have a party or need to fill a cooler then we are back to buying bagged ice to meet the need. It spits out 12 ice cubes (in large setting) every hour or so.
My other issue is that is is wet ice so when you freeze it the whole bag clumps up, easily solved by dropping the bag on the floor a couple time before loading in the ice maker or ice bucket but I wish it made more, faster and less wet. I found that I had to run over and get the 12 cubes in the freezer right away rather than letting the bin fill because the first batch would be melting. Sounds like a fun weekend? Overall opinion.... It's just 'OK', not great.
