Product review (5 stars): I love this Portable Ice Maker
I love this Portable Ice Maker.  I cleaned it out and started using it the next morning.  As stated, it was quick, about 6-7 minutes for the first large ice cubes to be finished.  Because they are a little "wet", I let the machine drop a few times before scooping ice into a plastic bag and laying it somewhat flat in the freezer.  By the time the next batch was ready, I took the bag from the freezer, dropped it on the counter to break any pieces that may have frozen together, and put the ice in the freezers bucket.  I filled the freezer bucket in a few hours.  It was a bit of a nuisance to have to put the ice in a bag first but it wasn't that big of a deal.  It's fast, reasonably quiet and makes the perfect size ice for adding to water bottles, which sometimes have smaller openings and won't fit larger cubes.  Definitely worth the money.
