Yes, didn't want to read my chip, but the slide worked fine. The machine itself almost worked too well. Unless they fix them, I would suggest bringing a buddy with you. The machine gives enough ice to fill two bags, and it is so fast, it would almost be impossible for one person to get both bags filled alone. We have used the ones in the 1600/1800 loop CS and 1700/1900 CS and they both gave out double ice.
We always travel with collapsible canvas army surplus buckets and tall kitchen garbage bags when going to the ice machines. The bucket helps to carry the ice and all the excess stays in the garbage bags.
