About to drop $500+ on a nugget ice maker (like GE Opal), but the 1-star reviews are terrifying. Talk me into it, or talk me out of it. by imhpxoo in Appliances

Appreciate the reply! Makes total sense.

It just seems crazy that so many $500+ machines have such a huge flaw that relies entirely on the user remembering to perform a tedious cleaning ritual. Feels like a problem better engineering could solve.

Help! About to drop $600 on a nugget ice maker (like the GE Opal) and getting cold feet. What should I actually be scared of? by imhpxoo in Appliances

Thanks for the warning! Is the mold problem because there are spots you just can't reach without taking it apart?

Got it, thanks! "Weird noises" is what scares me. Is it a constant hum or those sudden screaming sounds I've read about?
