definitely not for quick filling a cooler
but great for avoiding going to the store to get ice for drinks
makes ice faster than a fridge ice maker, but doesn't store it and freeze it hard
great for parties, bars, etc..
and good for making ice too store in the freezer, more and faster than ice trays
3 hrs twice a week keeps us in ice, for ice tea, soda, punch etc..
we don't keep these items in the fridge or a cooler
IF you fill a cooler with bagged ice, you can maybe use this to keep the cooler full of ice
