Edit: i just got mine unpacked and altho it technically has a little bin+stainless steel scoop, ill probably use this random large rubbermaid/tupperware type container I found that happens to be the same volume as the required amount of water to make a batch so I can double dip :) it seems a little "gentile" to use in the freezer so I'll reserve it for making more batches which I will subsequenyly add to the store in the rubbermaid

What kind of container do you store all the output in? What do you use seperate from that as the actual daily driver container that you keep in your fridge freezer part

Been looking at ice boxes and buckets but they all seem to be for parties or like kept in the room which is not what i want

Where do you keep all the ice when its done. 1) latger stockpile 2) working daily container

Like in a/the freezer(s) ofc but how do people manage that output

    The machine shuts off when the container gets full and restarts once its down.

    That's why I was asking if I understood the question

    Ok but is that container removable and you just either 1) store all the ice in there or 2) a daily practical working store of ice that gets refilled from a larger (2) stockpile of generated ice

    I would have thought people make a bunch of ice they 1) keep in a large container in their largest freezer and 2) there was a smaller more practical container they use to keep a daily/working amount of ice thats directly accessable and they refill it from 1)

    Its removable for cleaning so its not quick or intuitive, I just keep the ice in there and keep the cooler blocks in the chest freezer for to go cooling.

    I suppose it wouldn't be too big of a deal to keep extra ice frozen in a bigger freezer

    So i dont really need to purchase a seperate storage vessel, the maker basically includes it? Thats a relief if I understand you correctly.

    Just want to be ready to go when it arrives, none of this "sold seperatey" or need to buy seperate container bullcrap
