Product review (4 stars): Good portable ice maker
When I first heard of these portable ice makers I didn't believe they would work but they churn out ice all day long. You just have to keep removing the ice as the bin fills up and also add more water as needed. The big downside is that the ice is very soft and wet. This is fine as long as it goes directly into a glass or a drink. However, if you make ice to store it (in the freezer) it will freeze together because it's wet and you will need to break it apart. With that in mind, these machines are great for camping or parties or family get-togethers where you don't want to bring a ton of ice and will be constantly using it up.
