Product review (5 stars): so what I do is justwatch it and empty it into my freezer compartment as ...
My pricey French door fridge's ice maker never recovered from our last move. After months of water leaking out the bottom, it one day stopped making ice. I wasn't ready to put a 2K fridge in the garage and no one repairs anything anymore so I ordered this ice maker. It does the job perfectly, and I doubt I could have found a repair person for the price of this ice maker. The ice does get "wet" as it sits, so what I do is just watch it and empty it into my freezer compartment as it fills up. The automatic dispenser breaks up any chunks so I haven't had a problem, but I could see if I was keeping it in a bowl it might be harder to dispense. It takes about an hour to fill up my freezer's ice dispenser.

 I also don't think it would work that well for cooler ice--we went camping recently and it was a lot easier to buy a bag or two of ice than to wait a day of watching and emptying (you get about 1.5 cups of ice per cycle if that)

However, if you have a broken ice dispenser and don't want to replace it, this will do the job. It looks nice on the counter and it shipped quickly.
