Product review (5 stars): Quick Ice!!!
Was spending $2-3 every 2-3 days for bags of ice before we bought this. It makes ice quick and makes enough for my family of 4 just plugging it in the afternoon to refill the ice bin when I get home and we love lots of ice. I haven't had any of the problem seen on the negative post. I let this set for 12hr after every cleaning to let the refrigerant settle like many other reviewers have suggested, so maybe that the key here. Yes you can hear the INITIAL ice drop into the bin but it is not crazy loud or anything. The first few trays of ice do come out smaller diameter. I think this occurs until the ice made helps cools down the water and air temp in the bin. Ice does melt faster due to the hole in the middle but I like the softer ice to chew on and since I like to fill my cup completely with ice I never have and issue with it being all melted before I finish a drink. It's been great for my family and paid for itself in no time.
