@heidicooksandbakes - right there with you in regards to good ice. I actually chipped some from the Portage Glacier in Alaska about 25 years ago, to use in drinks. I wrapped the chunks in newspaper, and flew back to Washington state with them. Best ice I’ve ever used, and took a long, long time to melt, due to the extreme compression over the ages.
@Rooster, think that ice maker may work best when using distilled water in it, to get rid of the air that is present in tap water. Kind of spendy for a countertop appliance though! I won’t for sure be getting one.
