Product review (5 stars): My summer savior!
We are hefty water drinkers in the summer.  Our refrigerator freezer simply cannot keep up with us.  We bought this because we were tired of buying ice, and I have to admit my family tends to grab these cubes before they grab the cubes from the refrigerator.  These cubes freeze so quickly because they have holes in the middle.  This means that more surface contacts the beverage and it chills faster.  Yes, it also melts faster.  There are three cube sizes.  The larger the size, the slower the ice is made, but even the largest cube only takes about 11 minutes.  It's lightweight and looks decent enough to sit on the counter, but it's a little larger than I expected, so we store it in a cupboard when we don't need it.
