Product review (2 stars): Where are the CUBES?!!!
I searched and searched for a portable ice maker that would make Ice "CUBES."  It's important for cocktails and scotch to have really good quality ice and CUBES are what I was after, NOT BULLET SHAPED ICE.  Most of the portable Ice machines on the market let you know that they make bullet or crescent shaped ice.  The more expensive vinotemp vt-icemp25 is the only one of the many portable ice makers on the market touting that it can produce ice "CUBES,"  That would be the more expensive vinotemp vt-icemp25

I just received mine yesterday and tried it out today.  The machine works just FINE, VERY WELL in fact, and the ice will probably "WORK." But hey, I spend several days searching for a portable ice machine that makes CUBES not Bullets.  My decision to spend the extra money on this unit, having far fewer reviews than others on the market was entirely based on the promise that it it would be producing CUBES not Bullets.

For anyone else in my situation, here is your PSA:

***************THIS UNIT PRODUCES BULLET ICE NOT CUBED ICE**************************

Also,  I live in California and the box that it delivered in was market with a state mandated sticker notifying me that the product contains lead.  I would really appreciate an explaination from the manufacturer regarding this.
