Product review (5 stars): problem solved
We were tired of running out of ice, this more than solved the problem. It makes the same type of ice that my fridge does, only a lot faster. Crescent shape cube.  I keep mine out in the garage, it's pretty hot here in the summer and it still makes over 20lbs of ice a day.  Makes great iced tea and iced coffee.  We spend a lot of time outside at games, bbq's, the pool. So its main job for us is filling coolers to keep the cans cold. The neighbors run out of ice sometimes and it covers them too. Great little machine.
