Grumpy old man...I can relate. LOL I would love a counter depth frig with just craft ice in the freezer...

Gosh it’s so nice to see people conduct reviews. I hate these robotic voice reviews.

Good chemistry between these guys.
Who doesn't love a good ice-maker?

[SquireJethro]

Who knew you could get so many styles of ice? I would love to hear a round up of beverage and wine refrigerators.

Great episode on ice. Can you do a review on the monogram forge ice mold and press?

[chinyereapakama]

This is your most fun and insightful video so far. 😊😊😊😊😊

I have the subzero ice maker and it’s amazing.

[Its_Me]

Thank you Steve. Clear ice is awesome.

[barrettschmidt]

Are all the ones with pumps extremely loud when pumping?...I have heard that the Scotsman pumps are insanely loud. I like the piece of mind with a pump but don't want it to be crazy annoyingly loud either. Any thoughts?

[MickWEsq]

Can we get a video like this, but of portable/countertop models? Too many options on A-site to weed thru the junk. You mentioned the GE Opal, but any others that get a thumbs up?

[Scott-rfux]

With a properly located drain (e.g., in the floor), why would a pumped model be more reliable than a gravity drain model?

[bikeny]

I don't want to say I am old, but The Honeymooners was reality tv for me as to the kinds of ice one could get.

[hozanomer]

Did he said one or twice a year to clean ice maker 😮😮😱😭😭😭 I clean mine one or twice a week and it’s still slimy and gross after 2 uses

[Bluejacketlife]

Steve, you sound like my coworker. Hes famous for saying when I started in the 80s when fridges had a dial and now they have a computer board, so you wonder why nothing last long anymore.

[maxbrisbane]

The GE Opal ice maker is a waste of time, they make a loud screeching noise, mine lasted less than 4 months.

[edubya]

Why not just get a counter top and use distilled water, no cleaning necessary.
