Thread: Anyone got one of these?? Ice maker.

  1. #1

    Anyone got one of these?? Ice maker.

    Has anyone got one of these ice making machines?

    I'm in the process of getting my kitchen refitted and
    my current fridge is enormous so it has to go, i have
    bought a fridge with no freezer compartment as i only
    ever use ice from the freezer so i've decided to go for
    a "ice making machine". So any advice from someone
    who has one would be great or pointers of which model
    to go for :)

    This is the one i have been looking at on Amazon.

    not sure on the ice maker alex, i know they draw a lot of electric (well, they do on board ship) might be more economic in the long run to just have a fridge with a small freezer compartment?

    This SMEG any good? Seems quite compact but says it has a freezer compartment.

    Just a thought - are these machines designed to store ice, as well as make it?

    Just a thought about this in terms of how you intend to use it. I had my heart set on a Cuisinart ice cream maker a few years back but it turns out that because of the refrigerants it needs to be stationary for 24 hours prior to use. I did not want to have to rely on needing 24 hours notice to make ice cream and neither could I afford to have a seldomly-used contraption permanently taking up valuable kitchen-top space. I can see that an ice machine is going to be used more regularly (and you may have a bigger kitchen) so this may not be an issue for you.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
