fish10 3 It's very fast and produces ice quickly, the main problem is the ice is very 'wet' when it comes out. If you take it and throw it in the freezer afterwards it all sticks together and makes a giant block. The unit itself doesn't stay as cold as a freezer, so the ice melts and ends up getting remade to ice again from the melted water, causing noise. I think Amazon JP should get some of the better models from Amazon USA and sell here instead of this cheaper, less refined brand.
