Gevi V2.0 Countertop Nugget Ice Maker | Self-Cleaning Pellet Machine | Easy Open & Pour Water Refill | Stainless Steel Housing | Fits Under Wall Cabinet | White

it was somewhat expensive but our previous ice maker, a Thereye, went out after only a year. (Although when our first Thereye went out after only a few months, the company sent us a replacement for free, which was really good!) I'm hoping this one will last longer. We tried a Euhomy nugget ice maker but it was rather small and didn't have an external water line hookup and had to be refilled every day. This Gevi ice maker seems like it will work out very well and is super quiet. I was able to hook my existing plastic water line right into it. I plan on running a drain line as well with a cut off valve so I can more easily run the cleaning cycle weekly.

This ice maker is way better than the Opal 2.0. I had the Opal 2.0 for 2 years. It was such a pain in the neck, required so much maintenance, and kept giving me the "add water" error even though I was descaling it every two weeks. Really crazy how much work it was. This one is so so much better. I do the descaling every 2 weeks and that is it! It works! The ice is not quite as crunchy as the Opal 2.0 (which is exactly like Sonic ice), but it's close enough and so much less maintenance.
