Product review (3 stars): As so many others have mentioned, breaking up the ...
As so many others have mentioned, breaking up the cubes is a pain, but this is tolerable because the next upscale icemaker where this is not needed is almost twice the price.

Also, my unit often hangs up when a new tray of ice is being harvested and falls on a previous sheet of harvested ice that's sticking up and doesn't completely slide off the bin slide.  This signals that the bin is full, so ice stops harvesting.  When three-quarters of the whole ice bin melts, then the last harvested ice tray finally falls of the slide and the unit starts to replenish its stock of ice.  Meanwhile, you're low on ice reserves with only about a quarter bin full of ice.
