My biggest concern is repairability. You can't! You spend this much for an icemaker and then in a year and a half when your circuit board goes out, there's NO support. You can't even pay to have it...

This makes the "Sonic" style nugget ice that's low on water content and chewable/crunchy like you get in a fountain drink.

This is a growing problem with all sorts of devices. Even ones costing thousands of dollars. One day after your warranty expires, if it breaks you have to throw it away.

My 1.0 is still running strong after a number of years, although I have a friend whose died after a similar long run. The sidecar is recommended - much easier to refill.

This has an auger that compacts the ice into nuggets. Given that the ice nuggets are riddled with fractures, it’s softer than regular ice and takes on the flavor of the beverage it is put in.
