Product review (5 stars): SO FAR IT HAS WORKED GREAT - BUT DON'T EXPECT A TON OF ICE - It has its limitations
For what I bought this for I rate it 5 stars.  My daughter loves to eat ice and we do not have auto ice maker.  I did not like her eating the big frozen cubes and the small cubes take forever to freeze.  So for her this machine is great - it does make a batch every 6 minutes or so but just know that the batch it makes each time is small (I think about 8 small ice cubes - probably the equivalent to about 2-3 normal sized ice cubes from one of those trays).  We also use this camping and it works fine for our small family of 4.  If you were trying to get enough ice to fill a blender it might take a while.  It does not have a freezer compartment to keep the ice frozen, but the ice will stay in the basket for a good while before melting (8-12 hours depending on outside temp).  I think the owners manual said 18 hours - I have never timed it so not 100% sure.  But the good thing is that as the ice melts in the basket the water goes back into the reservoir and is reused.  Now I saw some bad reviews on this breaking after a few months but I bought the extended warranty for $10 (I bought this at Sam's Club and not off Amazon.  Normally I don't buy the extended warranty but when I saw a couple of bad reviews I went ahead.  So for $10 more I have a 3 year warranty instead of one year. The reviews I saw said their machine just stopped working.  Also this is not made by Igloo - It is made by a company called Curtis and they are licensed to use the Igloo name.  So if you have any problems you will have to deal with Curtis and not Igloo.
