I've had the GE Opal nugget ice maker, original version, since it came out several years ago. Using distilled water and keeping it clean has yielded countless bins of nugget ice over the years.aggiehawg said:Oh heavens!Texker said:
We buy it for our countertop ice maker and it's been hit or miss at Walmart for months.
Counter top ice makers are crap. My Mom tried that at our lakehouse and it was not worth it at all.
Get an undercounter real ice maker, takes some maintenance but having truly clear ice is worth it. It is well fed since we have both sources of water. Has iron issues with the ice maker but damn if the difference isn't worth it.
Our office has one of the cheap countertop ice makers and it is indeed crap. A well-maintained Opal machine fed with distilled water is a nice way to go and does not require its own plumbing.
