Product review (3 stars): ( we all love loads of ice in our water) I didn't want ...
I bought this item because the ice maker built in to my fridge just wasn't producing ice quick enough to keep up w/ my family.( we all love loads of ice in our water)  I didn't want to take up space in my freezer with multiple ice trays so I decided to look into a counter top ice maker. I choose this product based on the previous reviews and the price seemed reasonable. Out of the box, cleaned the inside, filled it with water and with in a few minutes we had ice! Overall it is great, it has a catch tray that once filled I just dump into the ice container in my freezer. This product does not keep the ice cold - it produces ice very quickly but if you do not remove the ice after 15 min or so, the ice will start to melt a little bit. The way the catch tray is designed it does not allow for all the melted water the ice produces to drain properly so I noticed when I dump it into the ice door of my freezer, more water than I'd like is getting in as well. Not a big deal, but a little annoying since the water then fuses all the ice together and you need to break it up.
