After finally deciding ice trays are a major pain, bought this little darling in December and over 400 lbs of ice later, it just keeps putting out ice.  I purchased a box of 8 lb ice bags, fill 3 when making ice and store in the freezer.  As stated previously, the ice drops into a basket which is insulated, so you have to shake the water out prior to placing in the bag and putting in the freezer.  When I need ice, I merely bounce the bag on the counter a couple of times to break-up the ice and it's ready for any size container.
