Product review (5 stars): Oh my goodness!
We love this thing! We have one of those wonderful "energy saver" fridges...you know, the only kind you can find these days. Which translates to about 10 cubes of ice per tray. Which means if you go through a lot of ice you're not going to ever have a full bin. Add to that a fridge in which we've had to replace the ice maker twice!
After the first replacement, I started looking for an alternative to bagged ice. It takes up way too much space in the freezer. I found this on Amazon. It works like a dream! The first batch of ice is ready in no time. We can pull it out when we have company. We can use a Ziploc bag for any excess.
And then the ice maker broke again!! Thank goodness it was after we purchased this because the replacement took 3 weeks to be sent here! (Through no fault of our great repair guy! He's pretty much a member of the family now ) We were able to keep ice in the house without having to run to the store for bags and deal with that mess.
If you have a large family, have lots of company, or just in general use a lot of ice this is a great buy. It's quiet and easy to use. I'm very happy we have one!
