Your HDMI 2.0 joke is cringely af though, like, I can't even force an lol out of it. It's so bad it's making Amy Schumer funny
When people rework their kitchens, they drop hundreds and sometimes thousands to get specific things that look a certain way or not.
We have a professional ice maker at the office that constantly cycles/drains and the ice there is head over heels better than the ice in my new refrigerator (which is good).
There's lots of reasons to splurge on something like this that is nicer than what you currently have.
The trick is to only get something like this once and a while and not every day.

Only downside (besides price) is that it's pretty big, and you need a decent amount of space to keep it and to be able to easily clean it out, which apparently you're supposed to do regularly.

(geez... will prolly end up ordering something else I dont really need..)
I want something that makes Purple Rain!!!
$550 is consistent "sale" price on Amazon and Home Depot. Never realized Costco had it.
$500 is deal because it hardly ever goes on "true sale."
Black Friday price is $450 2020 and $410 2021 Black Friday's.
I would imagine this is why large commercial ice makers etc generally only ship with a huge carbon filter. I don't have experience with this icemaker but I would personally feed it soft water, through a carbon filter. Occasionally throw some soft yet non-filtered water in there for the antimicrobial benefits of chlorine.
Probably better to go with the suggestions of other owners though as I'm not one.
The guy you quoted said to use distilled water. I think he said that because tap water contains impurities that both gum up the icemaker and make the ice taste like crap. Another huge reason is there is sentiment in water so you will have hard water buildup. In my area the water is very hard. Hard water will totally gum up a machine like this with sentiment.
Even if you use good water, I'm sure the manual says to descale the machine time to time, and should tell how to do that.
just in. Saw this snippet in google search results:
Because distilled water is stripped of magnesium and calcium—the primary minerals, unfortunately, that allow water to retain flavor—using it in your coffee maker will result in less build-up of minerals in the internal mechanisms and reservoir. ... In some coffee makers, distilled water is actually harmful for the machine.
I dont' know what to think.
