Product review (5 stars): It's so nice not having to buy ice!
It's so nice not having to run to the store to buy ice! We don't have a water hook up for our refrigerator so for years we have had to pick up a bag or more of ice when we went grocery shopping, by the time we were out of the store it would already be melting, then it would refreeze into a giant solid cube when we got it home and refroze it. This little ice machine is great, I love it!

The front panel looks very nice and the menu is easy to navigate. There are 3 different cube sizes to choose from too. I love being able to fill a glass up to the top with ice and not worrying about leaving enough for the rest of the family, a new batch is only 6 minutes away! This ice machine can make up to 26.5 lbs. of ice in a 24 hour period. When the basket is full I dump it into the ice bin in our freezer for storing. Some of the ice will freeze into a clump, but a quick smack with an ice scoop is usually all it takes.

 The ice out of the machine is nice and soft, great for those of us that like to munch on ice. When I store extra ice in our freezers ice bin, or in gallon freezer bags, that ice will harden up and is perfect for making smoothies and shakes in the blender.

I like that this ice machine recycles the water from the ice that is left in the machine. We have very hard water here so we use filtered water for better tasting ice, and to help extend the life of our appliances. Since any of the ice that melts just gets made into new ice we aren't wasting water. This ice machine works great and looks very nice on our counter. Since having an ice machine in our kitchen I don't think I could go back to not having one now!
