I bought an ice maker from Costco last year for $79. Mine makes actual cubes. This looks like it makes nuggets that melt quickly. Easy pass.

DH loves his nugget machine.  Got it at Amazon  Makes 45 lb/day and cost less.  He keeps is running all the time.  We use distilled water in it.  I like to crunch ice and this is safer than crunching cubes.

David keeps saying that it makes ice every 5 minutes, if in a room with an ambient temperature of 68. No stats for functioning at a higher ambient temperature. 

 

I wonder how well it would function at 78, which is where I keep my AC setting here in TX. Friends have similar ice makers and they perform well in warmer homes.

We go through ice quickly. It's just the two of us but everything we drink has ice in it. Coffee, water, tea, flavored drinks. We both fill up a 36 ounce flask daily of water to drink. We live in the desert so water is always with us.  Previously I would buy 2 bags a week of ice from the grocery store. We fill up an ice container every other day with this machine. We bought it last year from Costco for $79 and they are still selling them.

I like it. The blue one is beautiful. However, the price is crazy! That's a lot of bags of grocery store ice! So, it's a no for me. I have a large freezer that I can make trays of ice in.

DH bought an ice maker from Amazon in October that cost $89. We drink iced tea and ice water all year long and were buying 10 pound bags of ice about every other day. It makes 26 pounds of bullet-shaped ice a day. It's self-cleaning, has an electric eye to stop making ice when the basket's full and stops when it's out of water (we also use distilled water). As another poster mentioned, it's soft ice, so it melts faster and is easier on your teeth (if you're into chewing ice). It has more than paid for itself in the 8 months that we've had it. If it breaks down, we'll just order a new one.

I'm in Arizona so you know it's hot. Ours works fine and we keep our A/C at 79. I'd be broke if we kept the A/C at 68.
